Women’s Health Research at Yale has been awarded a five-year grant from The Rice Family Foundation to increase the reach and scope of the center’s successful Pilot Project Program.
The award will allow WHRY to provide seed funding for an additional project each year focused on advancing women’s health and providing data on sex and gender differences that offer the potential to improve health outcomes for everybody.
“We are pleased to have earned the support of The Rice Family Foundation with our 18-year track record in choosing and funding the most innovative and promising Yale researchers dedicated to overcoming the large gap in knowledge about women’s health,” said WHRY Director Carolyn M. Mazure, Ph.D. “This grant provides a significant boost toward true gender equality in biomedical science.”
Since its founding in 1998, WHRY has supplied a total of $5 million in seed grants that have gone on to generate more than $85 million in external funding for researchers to invest in their own labs and clinical research settings.
This grant provides a significant boost toward true gender equality in biomedical science.
