The International Society for the Study and Prevention of Perinatal and Infant Death (ISPID) is a not-for-profit organization that is leading the world in discovering evidence-based preventive measures for stillbirth and infant death. ISPID is also working to promote improved quality and standardization of care for affected parents.

By working together for over 20 years and then merging SIDS International with the International Society for the Study and Prevention of Infant Death in 2007, ISPID has brought together researchers and support organizations from over 20 countries, combining the passion of bereaved parents with the world's leading experts on infant survival.

The work of ISPID has resulted in spreading knowledge of evidence-based preventive measures and the reduction of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) worldwide, as well as implementation of international standards and improved quality of care for affected parents.

ISPID is devoted to the exchange of information among families, scientists, and other specialists in the field of perinatal and infant health and death as well as educating the community at large. ISPID's activities are:

• promoting educational workshops, training programs and cooperative studies
• giving awards, fellowships and travel grants to researchers
• holding meetings and biennial conferences
