The Office of Research on Women s Health, along with nine NIH Institutes and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, supports twelve new programs, listed alphabetically below, for developing faculty Scholars in interdisciplinary women s health research.
Sites recruit their own Scholars.
For specific information, contact the Program Director listed. Where appropriate, Scholars will work toward a Master's degree, e.g. in Public Health. Continuing guidance will be provided to Scholars after completing the program. A major emphasis of the program at Birmingham will be the health problems more common in minority and disadvantaged women. Mentors who work on health disparities were preferentially chosen for the program, and scholar candidates with an interest in disadvantaged populations will be particularly sought.
