Name: Dianne S. Moore Midwifery Research Scholarship
Award Amount: $2,500
Information And Eligibility:
The Dianne S. Moore Midwifery Research Scholarship, offered by the A.C.N.M. Foundation, provides financial support to Certified Nurse-Midwives (CNMs) and Certified Midwives (CMs) who are pursuing research-focused doctoral or post-doctoral education. This scholarship is designed to strengthen the scientific foundation of midwifery by supporting midwives engaged in rigorous research that advances maternal, newborn, and reproductive health.
This scholarship specifically supports midwives enrolled in research-oriented doctoral and post-doctoral programs such as the PhD, ScD, DNSc, or similar degrees. These programs emphasize the development of original research, scholarly inquiry, and evidence generation that can inform clinical practice, education, policy, and health system improvement. By investing in midwifery research, the A.C.N.M. Foundation helps ensure that care models and clinical decisions are grounded in high-quality evidence.
Recipients of the Dianne S. Moore Midwifery Research Scholarship are typically midwives who seek to contribute to the profession through scientific discovery and knowledge dissemination. Many applicants are engaged in dissertation or post-doctoral research focused on improving outcomes for women, families, and communities, addressing health disparities, evaluating models of care, or advancing midwifery education and workforce development. The scholarship supports the critical role of midwives as researchers who shape the future of maternity care.
Pursuing a research doctorate or post-doctoral education often requires a significant commitment of time and financial resources. Tuition, research-related expenses, and reduced clinical hours can present barriers for midwives pursuing advanced research training. The Dianne S. Moore Midwifery Research Scholarship helps offset these challenges, allowing recipients to focus more fully on their scholarly work and academic development.
Applicants are expected to demonstrate a strong commitment to research and to clearly articulate how their work will contribute to the advancement of midwifery. Competitive applications typically describe the applicant’s research interests, long-term scholarly goals, and the potential impact of their research on clinical practice, policy, or education. Alignment with the mission of the A.C.N.M. Foundation and a dedication to improving health outcomes are central to the selection process.
By supporting research-focused education, the A.C.N.M. Foundation honors the legacy of Dianne S. Moore and reinforces the importance of midwife-led research. This scholarship helps build a pipeline of midwifery scholars whose work will inform evidence-based practice, influence health policy, and strengthen the profession for generations to come.
