Women’s Reproductive Health Research (WRHR) Career Development Program (K12) RFA-HD-09-026
Program Summary
The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) issued by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) and the Office of Research on Women’s Health (ORWH) is to build a national capacity of junior investigators in women's reproductive health research, provide junior faculty with state of the art training in women’s reproductive health research in an academic setting, stimulate women’s reproductive health research over a variety of disciplines, and secure an outstanding research experience for junior faculty leading to a career as a successful independent investigator.
The goal of the Women’s Reproductive Health Research (WRHR) Career Development Program is to promote the performance of research and transfer of findings that will benefit the health of women. This will be accomplished by supporting research career development of obstetrician-gynecologists, to be known as WRHR Scholars. These K12 Program grant awards will ultimately result in a well-qualified cadre of academic obstetrician-gynecologist (ob/gyn) investigators who will help strengthen the research capacity in health professional institutions and meet the need for highly skilled scientists with a clinical background who can address the increasing research opportunities in women's reproductive health.
Award Details
