Foundation for Women's Wellnes

FWW Research Awards provide financial support for small, short-term studies with promise for advancing women’s health. We target leading women’s health concerns including cardiovascular disease, female cancers and hormones’ role in disease and stage-of-life health concerns such as pregnancy and menopause. Our awards aim to address a significant need in medical research today — funding for nascent ideas with potential big impact for improving women’s lives.

Our selection process is guided by FWW’s Medical Advisory Board who consult with leaders in academic medicine to identify the best proposals and investigators with important ideas and well designed studies. FWW awardees have published in prestigious medical journals and successfully secured larger grants to advance their work.
