The Maternal Health Emergency Management Training (MHEMT) program is a federally-funded initiative designed to strengthen emergency response capabilities for pregnant and postpartum women in non-delivery and low-resource clinical settings. This grant program extends the reach of maternal health training by building workforce capacity among clinicians and first responders who may encounter obstetric emergencies outside traditional delivery environments. Organizations eligible to apply include domestic public and private entities, non-profits, and for-profit organizations operating in the fifty States, District of Columbia, U.S. territories, and freely associated states. The program funds training development, implementation, and capacity-building initiatives that improve the quality of emergency maternal care. Healthcare organizations, training institutions, emergency response agencies, and clinical facilities serving underserved populations should consider applying to strengthen their teams' preparedness in managing maternal health emergencies. With funding available up to $3,000,000, this represents a significant opportunity for organizations committed to reducing maternal mortality and morbidity by ensuring that all healthcare workers—regardless of setting—can respond effectively to maternal health crises.
