- Identify novel diagnostic indicators predictive of BIPOC women and birthing people at higher risk for experiencing immune-mediated pregnancy complications
- Develop, implement, and evaluate potential solutions to overcome barriers to the diagnosis and treatment of immune-mediated pregnancy-related conditions impacting BIPOC women and birthing people
- Understand the utility of tools and technologies in historical diagnoses of immune-mediated pregnancy conditions for BIPOC women and birthing people

- Implement approaches to engage pregnant BIPOC women and birthing people, overcoming barriers and improving participation in pregnancy clinical trials
What they’re looking for?
- US-based innovators are invited to submit data-driven research methodologies, tools, or technologies that aim to better understand the manifestations of immune-mediated diseases of pregnancy impacting historically marginalized communities.
- Potential solutions should inform or catalyze the crucial next steps needed to develop diagnostics and novel therapies aiming to improve immune-mediated pregnancy outcomes in mothers and children from BIPOC communities.
