Reposted by PrheumatologistRebecca Fielding-Miller @rebeccafieldingmiller.com · 22/03/2025Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women. More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications. I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that. 847287999017 0
