For Black women and American Indian/Alaska Native women, they are especially high, regardless of their income or education levels. Collaboration among researchers, small businesses, and the community could lead to new ways to improve maternal health and reduce U.S. MMM rates. An earlier NIH workshop on Jan. 18, 2022, Technology to Improve Maternal Health, identified MMM technology gaps and areas of need. On Monday, May 8, and Tuesday, May 9, 2023, from 9:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. each day, NIH will hold a hybrid event that brings together technology developers, medical device experts, small business innovators, implementation scientists, MMM researchers, and academic, industry, and community-based partners. The goal is to connect the research community with small businesses that are developing new approaches to improve MMM and its associated health disparities. Hosted by the NHLBI and sponsored by NIH’s (IMPROVE) Initiative along with six other NIH institutes and offices, the workshop will be held in the Main Auditorium of the Natcher Conference Center which is in Building 45 on the NIH campus and will be videocast. Panel session experts will focus on the best ways to move new maternal health technology into the community, how to address health disparities faced by pregnant people, and improve access to diagnostic and treatment tools. Topics include technology, clinical implications, community engagement, implementation, regulatory considerations, government funding, payors and investors, and more. Small businesses can apply to “pitch” their innovative solutions and receive feedback from experts in the field. Other highlights include a poster session on clinical research and interactive discussions designed to encourage interdisciplinary collaboration. The event is free and open to the public. Register now.ObjectivesDuring the workshop, participants will:<ul><li>Explore key scientific discoveries in diagnosis and treatment of pregnancy-associated conditions and the areas ready for translation.</li><li>Participate in how-to training sessions focused on best practices in translation, education, funding, technology development, and dissemination. </li><li>Review implementation science and community-engaged methods to ensure maternal health technologies reach those most affected and address health equity. </li></ul>Sponsors<ul><li>N﻿IH IMPROVE Initiative</li><li>N﻿ational Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD)<a href="https://acrobat.adobe.com/link/review?uri=urn:aaid:scds:US:9266f950-33bf-3b1a-876c-01972e5e067a" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"></a><a href="https://acrobat.adobe.com/link/review?uri=urn:aaid:scds:US:9266f950-33bf-3b1a-876c-01972e5e067a" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"></a></li><li>National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) </li><li>National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD) </li><li>National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) </li><li>National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) </li><li>National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) </li><li>Office of Research on Women’s Health (ORWH) </li></ul>T﻿his is a hybrid workshop: When registering, please choose one ticket type (either in person or virtual)In-person: Natcher Conference Center, NIH campus, Bethesda, MD(please register before April 25, 2023)Virtual: ZoomGov and NIH videocast; to watch the event live via NIH videocast, please click on the link below: (please register before May 5, 2023)<ul><li>May 8: <a href="https://videocast.nih.gov/watch=49193" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://videocast.nih.gov/watch=49193</a></li><li>May 9: <a href="https://videocast.nih.gov/watch=49196" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://videocast.nih.gov/watch=49196</a></li></ul>P﻿lease see below for the tentative agenda.Pitch Talks Submissions The workshop will hold a series of in-person “pitch sessions” where selected small business entrepreneurs share their innovative maternal health solutions to experts in the field. A panel of private equity and health accelerator experts will share feedback that could impact future funding for their concepts. The goal is to help prepare the entrepreneurs when pitching their ideas to investors. Pitch talk sessions consist of a 10-minute presentation followed by 10 minutes of feedback and questions from the expert panel. Note: These sessions are open to the public and may be recorded. Do not share confidential information. This is not a pitch competition, and no prize money will be awarded.EligibilityApplicants must meet the definition of a company as defined by NIH in <a href="https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-22-177.html" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">NIH SBIR Omnibus PA-21-260</a> Application Criteria<a href="https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fform.jotform.com%2F230314997186060&data=05%7C01%7Cmyesha.macdonald%40nih.gov%7C91bef4d8751b453de9b508db0e078a28%7C14b77578977342d58507251ca2dc2b06%7C0%7C0%7C638119197757956819%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=CdTwOaBJWAQqOy84CPnuw%2FiClQyJo7jGnmK29tCCF%2BU%3D&reserved=0" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">View the pitch talk application criteria and submission form</a>P﻿lease apply by April 13, 2023.Posters SubmissionsThe National Institutes of Health is excited to share that we are officially accepting abstract poster submissions for our workshop hosted by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute entitled ”Accelerating Solutions to Improve Maternal Health” on May 8-9th, 2023.
