About Vision Grants: Vision Grants are intended to provide initial funding for novel, innovative research by promising young investigators that will advance progress towards detection, prevention, or treatment of preeclampsia, HELLP syndrome, and other hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. Post-doctoral, Clinical Fellows, or Early Stage Investigators only are eligible to apply. Projects with potential to alter clinical management and improve patient outcomes will receive priority, but any well-considered research proposal will be accepted for review. International applications are welcome; however, submissions must be in English. The Foundation has committed to funding grants that address known research knowledge gaps.

Peter Joseph Pappas Research Grant Program
August 2025 - The 2026 Peter Joseph Pappas Research Grant LOI application process is currently closed.
Acceptance and decline notifications from our LOI cycle have been dispersed. Those invited by the scientific review committee and Preeclampsia Foundation's Board of Directors to submit full applications must do so by Wednesday, October 1, 2025. Award decisions will be rendered in December 2025. Winners will be announced in February 2026. Please see your email or contact our Research Manager for more information about your status.
Named for the infant son of preeclampsia survivor Lauren Pappas and her husband Clement, the program seeks to award multiple grants totaling up to $200,000 each year. The ultimate goal of this grant program is to drive research that will eliminate the delivery of pre-term babies as an intervention for severe preeclampsia, HELLP syndrome, and related hypertensive disorders of pregnancy.
