Reproductive Health Access Project Seeks Proposals for Women's Health Free Clinic Project
The Reproductive Health Access Project, which is dedicated to helping family physicians and community health centers provide contraceptive and abortion care, is accepting proposals from medical student-run free clinics to establish or expand their scope of reproductive healthcare services.
Examples of the types of programs the project is 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, and 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. 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 clinic’s commitment to sustaining the added training for medical students and services for patients after the grant ends.
The project will award up to five grants of $5,000 each. Technical assistance and mentorship will also be provided.
