Description
The Foundation for Women’s Wellness (FWW) is a 501c3 nonprofit public charity dedicated to improving women s health through research and education.
FWW identifies and supports research on leading women s health concerns including female cancers, cardiovascular disease, hormone-related diseases and stage-of-life health issues (such as pregnancy and menopause), diseases disproportionately affecting women, and elucidation of sex differences in health and disease. Our research awards provide critical funding to timely, innovative investigations.
FWW also supports future physician-scientists through fellowship awards to individuals from diverse backgrounds with high academic and research achievement and dedication.
FWW’s Medical Advisory Board consults with experts to identify research with promise for big impact. Our awardees work has provided important findings with direct implications for women s care. Their work has gone on to be published, presented, and funded by larger sources, demonstrating the impact smaller awards have on new medical know-how.
FWW Research Awards target small, short-term studies on leading women’s health concerns including cardiovascular disease, female cancers, the role of hormones in disease and stage-of-life health concerns, diseases disproportionately affecting women, and areas where sex differences need clarity.
