Society of Family Planning: Emerging Scholars in Family Planning
Funding, Trainee
Due date: May 12, 2026
Amount: Up to $7,500
The 2026 Emerging Scholars in Family Planning grant from the Society of Family Planning is a 12‑month funding opportunity designed to support graduate‑level trainees and clinical students in developing publishable research projects related to contraception in the United States. With a maximum award of $7,500, the grant funds direct research expenses—including statistical support, translation services, participant reimbursement, equipment, and research‑related travel—and allows up to 20% of the budget for scholar stipends or conference presentations. The program aims to cultivate the next generation of family planning researchers by supporting early‑career scholars, particularly those reflecting on how their identities and lived experiences shape their work, and by encouraging projects that generate empirical evidence with a clear pathway to improving clinical practice, policy, or health service delivery. Eligibility is limited to trainees enrolled in master’s or doctoral programs or clinical training (medical, nursing, or residency programs) who reside in the U.S. and conduct research on U.S.‑based family planning topics, with awards made to tax‑exempt organizations on behalf of named PIs.
