Women’s Health Research (WHR) Associates Program
Due to the success of the BIRCWH program, the Women’s Health Research (WHR) Associates program was implemented. The WHR Associates program is an internally funded program. WHR Associates receive identical tailored curricula, research training, mentoring, career development, and research projects.
About the Program Heading link
The Women’s Health Research (WHR) Associates Program is an internally funded mentorship program which supports up to two Associates a year and extends the reach of the BIRCWH. WHR Associates receive identical mentoring as the BIRCWH Scholars, but receive funding 75% protected time from their Deans in cost sharing. They must meet the same criteria for selection as the BIRCWH Scholars, and must protect 75% of time (50% for surgeons) for research activities related to women’s health or sex/gender-based health research. The BIRCWH Scholars and Mentors rated the WHR Associates Program as a great strength that enhances our interdisciplinary network.
