Grants to this Grantee
for support of the Bixby Center for Global Reproductive Health
This grant will support the Bixby Center for Global Reproductive Health at the University of California at San Francisco, which promotes reproductive health, family planning, and the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases through research, evaluation, training, and policy analysis in the United States and globally.

for support of the Advancing New Standards in Reproductive Health program
This grant will support Advancing New Standards in Reproductive Health (ANSIRH), a program of the Bixby Center for Global Reproductive Health at the University of California at San Francisco, to conduct rigorous, multidisciplinary research on complex issues related to people’s sexual and reproductive lives. ANSIRH’s research is designed to be utilized to inform and advance evidence-based policy, practice, and public discourse to improve reproductive well-being. (Strategy: U.S. Reproductive Equity)
for support of the post-Roe Turnaway Study project
This grant will support the “end of Roe” study, a longitudinal, observational cohort study examining the consequences of restricting legal abortion following the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. The study will document the immediate consequences of this decision by determining who was turned away from abortion services after the law change and how their characteristics compare to people who were served just prior to the law change. It will follow a subset of people who are willing to participate in order to learn who was able to get an abortion and who gave birth, and the consequent impact of these pregnancy outcomes on their health, financial well-being, and families.
