The Network serves the dual function of facilitating research collaboration among members as well as providing expertise and advice to the ICM and the Research Standing Committee on research issues.

The database of members can be seen under 'Contact the RAN'.
We are looking for people who:
* Recognise the importance of research to midwifery and reproductive health generally
* Are professionally active in the area of midwifery and reproductive research
We have published a contact database of members' research expertise to facilitate networking among members. We would be pleased to hear from any person who believes she or he can contribute to the process of providing expert advice and reviewing research.
