Mission & Focus Areas
The foundation's mission centers on promoting reproductive health through two primary programs:
Postdoctoral Fellowship Program: Awards fellowships to institutions for basic postdoctoral research in mammalian reproductive biology as related to the regulation of fertility. This program supports capable investigators early in their careers, helping them become independently funded researchers in the field.
Anna Lalor Burdick Program: Seeks to educate women about human reproduction in order to broaden and enhance their options in life. The program funds initiatives that bring women information and access to reproductive health care, contraception, and pregnancy termination.
The Anna Lalor Burdick Program specifically supports programs that offer sexual and reproductive health education to women, with particular interest in serving women disadvantaged by poverty, discrimination, geographic isolation, lack of comprehensive sex education, hostile public policy, or other factors leading to inadequate sexual and reproductive health access.
