Awards

IMPaCT Training Awards

The IMPaCT Training Awards for the 2026-27 cohort are now being accepted, and this year, we will be co-funding one Early Career Researcher training award for a project focused on pandemic readiness. Please note that the recipient of this award must be/become a POPCORN member at the time of receiving this funding.

What is an IMPaCT training award?
IMPaCT training awards facilitate participation in a 1-year immersive learning experience with assigned mentors and deliverables. The IMPaCT program is designed to give you the skills and network to design, conduct, and communicate about clinical trials with pregnant people and children (neonates through adolescents). 

Applications will be accepted until 5pm CT on October 17, 2025. The application form and additional award information can be viewed here. For any questions regarding the application process or IMPaCT program, please contact IMPaCT at impactrials@gmail.com
