Open Access Funding

The AABC Foundation will consider requests for funding to make a research article “open access” in a journal that has accepted their article for publishing, or that the author anticipates will be accepted.

  • The article must be related to the birth center model of care. See past research we’ve funded.

  • Proposals for funding must include:

    • Primary contact name, email, phone, address

    • Article title

    • Article summary

    • Journal where it will be published

    • Publication date

    • Authors

    • Cost of open access

    • Amount of funding requested

    • Other sources of funding (if applicable) – applied for or received

    • How does the easy accessibility of the research benefit the advancement of the birth center model?

  • Proposals are accepted on a rolling basis throughout the year. Review and approval can take 2-3 months.

    Please email your proposal to info@aabcfoundation.org

  • Funds will be paid directly to the journal, or a receipt may be submitted for reimbursement.
