NICHD Decoding Maternal Morbidity Data Challenge

July 20, 2021

The NICHD Decoding Maternal Morbidity Data Challenge has launched! NICHD is seeking innovative approaches to secondary analyses of data collected from the Nulliparous Pregnancy Outcomes Study: Monitoring Mothers-to-be (nuMoM2b). Using fresh and unique methods of computational analysis, data mining, or learning approaches, Challenge innovators can help identify factors and interventions that can reduce maternal morbidity and severe maternal morbidity.

Winning solutions not only get part of the $400,000 prize but also help improve the health of pregnant and postpartum women and babies.

The Challenge is open until October 15, 2021.  Visit the Challenge Information Page to learn more about the NICHD Decoding Maternal Morbidity Data Challenge.

Upcoming Webinar
You are invited to join NICHD for a Challenge Webinar on Thursday, July 22 from 5:00 – 6:00 PM EST. This webinar will include an overview of the Challenge registration process and a live Q&A. Webinar registration is now open!

Request for Information on NIH Effort to End Structural Racism in Biomedical Research

April 14, 2021

NIH launched an effort to end structural racism in biomedical research through a new initiative called UNITE. NIH Director Francis Collins issued a statement committing NIH to instituting new ways to support diversity, equity, and inclusion, and identifying and dismantling any policies and practices that may harm our workforce and our science.

NIH has also issued a Request for Information seeking input on practical and effective approaches to improve and strengthen racial equity, diversity, and inclusion across all facets of the biomedical research enterprise, both within NIH and the external community, and expand research to eliminate or lessen health disparities and inequities.

Comments can be submitted through the submission website and must be received by April 23, 2021.
