The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), part of the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health, awarded $157,000 to Rutgers The State University of New Jersey, School of Nursing on September 1, 2026 under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865). The award funds a project examining severe maternal morbidity risk in New Jersey through analysis of linked birth records and hospital discharge data. The research will assess rates and trends in severe maternal morbidity diagnoses extending up to one year postpartum—a timeframe beyond the standard six-week postpartum assessment window in existing studies. The project leverages existing data sources: birth records from all live births in New Jersey between 2010 and 2022 linked with uniform billing hospital discharge records from 2010 to 2023. The study will identify differences in severe maternal morbidity types and timing by maternal characteristics to pinpoint subgroups requiring additional perinatal support and interventions. The work addresses NICHD's research priority to improve identification of women at high risk for pregnancy-related morbidities or mortality. Performance occurs in Newark, New Jersey. The project runs through August 31, 2028. This is a project grant, a single-year assistance type renewable by competition.
