Peter Joseph Pappas Research Grant Program
June 2025 - The 2026 Peter Joseph Pappas Research Grant LOI application process is currently open.
Letters of Intent are to be submitted electronically via e-mail to PJPGrants@preeclampsia.org no later than Friday, August 15, 2025.

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.

The Vision Grant Award Program
June 2025 - The Preeclampia Foundation and Preeclampsia Foundation Canada are not accepting applications in 2025.
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.
