Our Program fosters and encourages studies of gender differences in health and disease. Projects Strongly Encouraged are those:
- Examining behavioral and social factors affecting women's health
- Representing a new direction in women's health research
- Expanding existing health research to include the study of gender differences
- Using an interdisciplinary perspective
We support:
- Clinical, basic, translational, health services or prevention research
- Projects resulting in the translation of empirical findings into practice
Since inception of Women's Health Research at Yale in 1998, we have awarded more than $4.4 million in pilot grants to support more than 60 innovative research projects in diverse areas of biological investigation. To date, our researchers have used the results of these studies to apply for and obtain nearly $50 million in new, external grants to further their research.
