BioInnovation Institute & Science Translational Medicine Prize for Innovations in Women’s Health
Note: This is not a limited submission and is being announced as a courtesy only.
The Prize aims to recognize researchers who have developed innovative advances with translational potential to impact women’s health globally. Contributions within any area of women’s health (any condition affecting individuals identifying as women including persons assigned as female at birth, transgender, and nonbinary) will be considered. These may cover work in areas of female-specific conditions including maternal health and chronic gynecological diseases, reproductive health including contraception and infertility affecting all persons, or elucidation of sex- and gender-specific approaches to conditions that affect women differently or disproportionately.
We encourage researchers who may have made significant advances in addressing questions in these fields at the intersection of translational research and clinical applications, or who are developing new drugs, diagnostic approaches, medical devices, or healthcare technologies, to apply. Researchers who have advanced development of new solutions that can be readily deployed in low- and middle-income countries are encouraged to apply.
The Prize is awarded for outstanding research performed by the applicant and as described in a 1,000-word essay.
