About
We believe that to improve women’s health we must also invest in the future. FWW’s Fellowship Awards recognize and support MD/PhD candidates or graduates pursuing fellowship or specialty training and working on research in women’s health. This award goes directly to the individual awardee to acknowledge and support her/his academic, training and research success and pursuits.
Requirements
- Applicants must be currently and/or pursuing an MD and/or PhD at a U.S. based academic institution and must still be in the process of completing his/her education or medical training (specialty training, fellowship, or the like).
- FWW does not fund sociological or population-related research; our focus is on basic, clinical or epidemiological lines of inquiry.
- Research should be related to FWW priority areas which are:
- Cardiovascular disease
- Leading female cancers
- Hormones’ role in disease and stage-of-life health concerns
- Diseases or health concerns that disproportionately afflict women
- Exploration of gender differences related to the aforementioned topics
- Applicant’s research proposal submitted in this application is being conducted at a U.S.-based medical institution.
- Applicants must have a social security number. Award checks go directly to individuals and will be reported to the IRS as required by federal law.
- Only complete, qualified online applications will be considered.
