Due to the generosity of donors, AABCF is offering 1-year grant opportunities of up to $5,000 to support research projects on issues related to the birth center model of care. The AABCF will have the exclusive authority to determine all grant guidelines, criteria, timelines and awards, and will monitor all grants. Grantees will be expected to complete a Final Report on their project when complete, and an Interim Report if the project is not complete after one year.
