Peter Joseph Pappas Research Grant Program
June 2026 - The 2026 Peter Joseph Pappas Research Grant LOI application process is now open.
The Preeclampsia Foundation is seeking Letters of Intent for the Peter Joseph Pappas Research Grants funding program, designed to accelerate preeclampsia research. 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. Named for the infant son of preeclampsia survivor Lauren Pappas and her husband Clement, the program seeks to award multiple two-year grants in 2026 totaling up to $200,000.
Complete application instructions can be found here. Letters of intent are due by Friday, August 14, 2026 by 5:00 pm ET submitted via Proposal Central.

The Vision Grant Award Program
March 2026 - The Preeclampia Foundation Vision Grant Applications are now closed.
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.
