Midwives for MOMS Act of 2025
This bill creates federal grant programs to expand midwifery education and workforce capacity. It allocates $15 million annually (2025-2029) for accredited midwifery schools to support students, expand programs, and increase clinical mentors, with 50% of funds for student support. It also allocates $20 million annually for nurse-midwifery programs in schools of nursing, with similar funding splits and requirements to prioritize underserved areas and racial/ethnic minority representation. The bill specifically excludes midwifery programs within nursing schools from funding and sets clear allocation rules for the grants.
