Women's Initiative for Screening and Health (WISH)
The purpose of the Women’s Initiative for Screening and Health (WISH) is to improve women’s health across the lifespan by increasing access to and availability of preventive health services. Through a multidisciplinary coalition of healthcare providers, academic institutions, and patient-centered organizations, WISH drives a comprehensive strategy to:
- Review and recommend evidence-based updates to the HRSA-supported Women’s Preventive Services Guidelines (referred to in this notice of funding opportunity as the Guidelines).
- Raise awareness and knowledge of the Guidelines among the general public with a focus on communities with limited access to preventive health services.
- Increase clinicians’ use of the Guidelines in standard clinical practice.
Applicants for the base WISH award are eligible to apply for two supplemental funding opportunities.
