The Purdue Women’s Global Health Institute (WGHI) has partnered with the Indiana Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute (CTSI), Purdue Institute for Integrative Neuroscience, Purdue Institute for Cancer Research, and Purdue College of Health and Human Sciences to solicit proposals of outstanding scientific merit addressing research, including translational, on women’s health issues. Proposals focusing on prevention, early detection, health disparities, rural women’s health, and sex and gender differences are encouraged. Additionally, we are interested in supporting research to address the White House Initiative on Women’s Health Research, including diseases and conditions associated with women’s midlife and later years. Cross-college collaborations within Purdue are also encouraged. All funded project teams are expected to use the pilot grant funding to gather preliminary data to submit competitive applications to external funding agencies, or to seek support from an outside organization (e.g. companies, foundations, etc.) for continuation of the research.
