Apply for technical assistance

We are NOT accepting new applications for technical assistance at this time.

Inroads members and network staff all have areas of expertise and areas of growth in our work to understand and reduce abortion stigma! Members can apply for technical support. As a network, we operate with principles of co-mentorship and mutual learning. Complete this form to let inroads know about your technical assistance requests. You will be matched with the appropriate staff or other inroads member to help meet your needs! Please note that this is not a funding mechanism. Rather it is a way for members to request tailored consultation for challenges they are facing with their stigma-reduction work.

Requests are considered on a weekly basis, so please allow for one to two weeks turnaround time and expect to hear back within a week or two of submitting your request. We may not be able to accommodate requests for technical assistance with fast-approaching deadlines.
