NIH requests input on the IMPROVE (Implementing a Maternal health and Pregnancy Outcomes Vision for Everyone) Initiative and establishment of Maternal Health Research Centers of Excellence, including how to encourage applications from American Indian and Alaska Native researchers interested in proposing a Native-focused center and on responsible data management and sharing practices and strategies.
