The Reproductive Health Access Project is seeking proposals from medical student-run free clinics to establish or expand their scope of reproductive health care services provided. Up to five grants of $5,000 will be awarded. Technical assistance and mentorship will also be provided. Some examples of the types of programs we are interested in supporting include:
- Initiation of reproductive health exams or pregnancy testing services
- Initiating IUD placement procedures or medication abortions
- Purchase of contraception; provision of emergency contraception
- Expansion of clinical education on family planning and reproductive health for medical students
Applicants must be student-run health centers that provide services at no cost to the patient. To be eligible for this grant, applicants must enter into the project in partnership with a physician or be willing to be matched with a family physician able to educate medical students and supervise reproductive health services. A key criterion in the selection process will be the free clinic’s commitment to sustaining the added training for medical students and services for patients after the grant ends.
Proposals are due May 30, 2010. Applicants will be notified of proposal outcome by August 2010.
