Scientific Advisory Panel

In Fall 2025, Women’s Health Research at Yale convened its inaugural Scientific Advisory Panel. The Panel serves in an advisory capacity to the Director and staff, bringing complementary scientific and programmatic expertise and plays a critical role in shaping the mission and strategic direction of the Center.

The Scientific Advisory Panel actively supports the Center’s goals by enabling cross-disciplinary collaborations; identifying and strategically aligning thematic hubs of research and programmatic efforts of the Center with diverse funding streams; ensuring a structured and transparent grant selection process; cultivating and sponsoring a pipeline of investigators, clinicians, educators, and policymakers interested in women’s health research; and helping translate and disseminate our discoveries through their networks.
