Women's Health Research Initiative
There is significant gender inequity in research, with women's health receiving less attention across the health research spectrum-- particularly when it comes to funding. We believe that this is a problem for all of us to try to solve, so we’re taking action with our commitment to support 100 total projects over the next 10 years. This opportunity is open to student researchers of any background conducting research focusing on women’s health.
100 awardees (10 per yr) will be given:
Application requirements
- Personal statement (Max. 200 words. Please introduce yourself, your research background and why you chose to pursue this research topic in women's health)

The research findings and publications all belong strictly to the grantee. All of the data collected (self-reported and physiological) belongs to the grantee. We do not access or own this anonymized data at any point before, during, or after the study. You can view the full terms and conditions here.
The Advanced plan gives you access to our full range of metrics with no caps on data quantity. Remotely collect wearable, survey and event tracking data from up to 50 participants. All participant data is neatly organized and exported into CSV files. *Analytics reports are not included*
For the fall and winter grants, awardees will receive 5 Garmin Vivosmart 4 devices.
Yes! We’ve passed all our IRBs in the two years we’ve been active. We have support documentation here and we can offer additional support if necessary.
