About QMNC Research Alliance

We are an alliance of researchers, clinicians, advocates, and policymakers working together to foster and support research to improve quality maternal and newborn care.

The Quality Maternal and Newborn Care (QMNC) Research Alliance developed out of the seminal work published in the 2014 Lancet Series on Midwifery. Subsequent to the publication of this research the authors identified significant knowledge gaps and future research priorities. The alliance has developed a mission, vision, and strategic plan. Our goal is to invite colleagues to collaborate in work that addresses our identified research priorities. QMNC is a non-profit organization. Our fiscal agent is ACNMF. Learn more here.
