Award Amount: $25,000
FWW Research Awards target small, short-term studies with promise for improving medical care in leading women’s health concerns including cardiovascular disease, female cancers, the role of hormones in disease and stage-of-life health issues like pregnancy and menopause and diseases disproportionately affecting women. We also fund studies on sex differences where gender or sex has been under examined.
The foundation is accepting applications for its 2021 FWW Research Awards program, which will award grants of up to $25,000 to small, short-term studies with the potential to improve medical care in leading women’s health concerns, including cardiovascular disease, female cancers, the role of hormones in disease, and stage-of-life health issues such as pregnancy and menopause, as well as diseases disproportionately affecting women.
To be eligible, the lead investigator must be an MD and/or PhD with a faculty appointment at an accredited U.S. academic institution or similar nonprofit medical research institution that receives NIH and/or public foundation grants.
If you are interested in applying, please reach out to Lynn Wong or Gwen Allouch with the Office of Advancement.
