Foundation for Women’s Wellness Accepting Proposals for Research Projects

The Foundation for Women’s Wellness is dedicated to improving women’s health by raising support for innovative early-stage research and education.

To advance this mission, FWW is inviting proposals for its 2015 Women’s Health Research Awards, an annual program that supports small, short-term studies with promise for improving medical knowledge in cardiovascular disease, leading female cancers, the role of hormones in disease and stage-of-life health issues such as pregnancy and menopause, and diseases disproportionately affecting women.

In 2015, FWW will award two one-time research awards of $25,000. Priority will be given to projects that have direct clinical application in preventing and/or treating disease, studies with the promise of yielding results that will attract larger sources of funding, and proposals that can influence long-term research directions .

To be eligible, a project’s lead investigator must be an M.D. and/or Ph.D. with a faculty appointment (investigator, assistant professor, or higher) at an accredited U.S. medical institution or similar nonprofit medical research institution. In addition, projects should be related to one of FWW’s priority areas, including cardiovascular disease, leading female cancers, hormones’ role in disease and stage-of-life health concerns, diseases or health concerns that disproportionately afflict women, and/or the exploration of gender differences related to the aforementioned topics.

Visit the FWW website for complete program guidelines, information about previous grant recipients, and application instructions.

DEADLINE: JUNE 8, 2015
