Women’s Health Research at Yale

The program in Women’s Health Research at Yale offers several training opportunities for investigators in patient-oriented research at Yale. Detailed below, these programs include grants through the Ethel F. Donaghue Women’s Health Investigator Program and faculty training through the Women and Drug Abuse Faculty Scholars Program.

Women and Drug Abuse - Faculty Scholars Program

Women and drug abuse is the focus of a unique, five-year $2.5 million faculty training grant through the Department of Psychiatry. The grant, funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse and the NIH Office of Research on Women's Health focuses on training faculty-level scholars to conduct interdisciplinary research on the etiology of drug abuse in women, and on the development of new sex-specific treatments and prevention strategies.

The Ethel F. Donaghue Women's Health Investigator Program at Yale

The Donaghue Women's Health Investigator Program was established in February 1998 through initial funding from The Patrick and Catherine Weldon Donaghue Medical Research Foundation. As the grant making program within Women's Health Research at Yale, The Ethel F. Donaghue Women's Health Investigator Program at Yale adheres to a stringent peer review process, and supports projects which have clear standards of scientific excellence and ethical conduct. As importantly, each investigator is required to demonstrate that her or his project will have direct, practical implications for the health of women. In addition, the program offers Yale-affiliated independent investigators and research programs many opportunities for scientific collaboration. As part of our commitment to encouraging collaborative research, assistance with data analysis, information management, and trial design is available for new collaborations with the program.
