GRANTQUICK SUMMARYPlain-English Overview

HRSA is funding one $3M award for a Maternal Health Emergency Management Training (MHEMT) program — training healthcare providers on managing maternal health emergencies (obstetric hemorrhage, preeclampsia/eclampsia, sepsis, cardiac events during pregnancy). Single national training center that develops and delivers emergency preparedness training specific to pregnancy-related emergencies.

Who Should Apply

Academic medical centers, professional associations (ACOG, AWHONN), or nonprofits with national maternal health training infrastructure. Must have capacity to develop simulation-based emergency training and deliver it nationwide.

Who Should NOT Apply

Individual hospitals (they're the trainees), local organizations without national reach, research-only institutions, or groups without maternal health emergency expertise.

Key Requirements (Plain English)

•Must develop and deliver maternal health emergency management training
•Must reach healthcare providers nationally
•Single award of $3M
•Must focus on obstetric emergencies (hemorrhage, preeclampsia, etc.)
•Must include simulation-based training components
•No cost-sharing required

💡 GrantQuick Tip

A single $3M national training center — likely going to an organization that already runs maternal mortality review or obstetric emergency simulation programs. Think: the Alliance for Innovation on Maternal Health (AIM), ACOG's simulation programs, or similar established maternal safety training infrastructure. New entrants would need to demonstrate equivalent national reach and clinical credibility.

Competitiveness: Very high — single $3M award. Only 3-5 organizations nationally have the maternal emergency training infrastructure to credibly apply.

What This Grant Funds

The Maternal Health Emergency Management Training (MHEMT) program will extend the reach and impact of the AIM program by strengthening the capacity of the broader health care workforce in non-delivery and/or low-resource clinical settings. The primary goal of this program is to increase capacity and improve the quality of care provided by clinicians and first responders who encounter pregnant and postpartum women in non-delivery and/or low-resource clinical settings.
