The SMFM Global Health Committee is working to improve communication and dissemination of obstetric research done by investigators from low- and middle-income countries by leveraging the expertise of SMFM members invested in mentoring. Authors planning to submit to SMFM’s 2027 Pregnancy Meeting who are interested in mentorship are invited to submit abstract drafts for editing & feedback, with focus on the abstract’s format, study design, analytical methods, and communication.
- Drafts will describe a research study with outcomes (not a case report, interim or pending analysis)
- Drafts will be formatted according to SMFM guidance, including character count. See here for Pregnancy Meeting abstract guidance.
- Drafts will be submitted in MS Word or PDF format (this facilitates trackable changes)
- Draft submission deadline is August 31, 2026.
- Abstract mentors will have 7 days for review/revisions and will return the document via email.
- Further engagement, including review of revisions or a virtual meeting, are optional.
