The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) is excited to let you know about a new opportunity—Connecting the Community for Maternal Health Challenge: Research Capacity Building in Maternity Care Deserts (CCMH 2.0)—designed to build research capacity among community-based organizations serving maternity care deserts and support research addressing maternal health outcomes, including the role of fathers. The challenge, co-sponsored by the National Institutes of Health's (NIH) Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, National Institute of Nursing Research, Office of Research on Women’s Health, and Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research, through the IMPROVE initiative, is open to community-based organizations with an interest in maternal health. Organizations can also choose to partner with an academic medical center or university, such as an NCCIH grantee. The recruitment phase is open until September 23, 2026. The challenge offers a total prize purse of $3.1 million across the multiple phases of the challenge. These resources are intended to help participating organizations strengthen their capacity to develop and conduct maternal health research or become partners to contribute to future NIH-funded or other U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)-funded agencies’ research activities that impact their communities.
