Women's research matters — and so does your support. With every gift, you move this life changing work forward another mile. There is no better time to donate to the largest research institute in the U.S. dedicated to women's health and reproductive biology.
I Am Research
Women's health has been understudied, underdiagnosed and underrepresented. Until now. We are changing lives by changing the status quo.
From woman-controlled HIV protection to therapies that could prevent the recurrence of ovarian cancer, we are helping to solve real-world problems and impacting women’s lives. And the potential is boundless. Anything is possible when the country’s largest women’s research institute partners with a world-class women’s hospital.

From how they present symptoms to the way their brains work. The thing is, most research has sidestepped sex differences, studying men and applying the findings to women.

“It was really important to me to be strong for my staff and for them to see: I was not going to let [cancer] beat me down. I was not going to let it stop my career. I just wasn’t letting it happen.”
