Foundation for Women's Health Research Grant

About this program

Foundation for Women's Health is offering two‑year grants of up to $300,000 (including 15% indirect costs) to support innovative research that optimizes the health of girls and women, with LOIs due September 8, 2026. Priority areas include menopause and brain health, endometriosis and chronic pelvic pain, miscarriage (including human fetal tissue research), polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS), and the sex‑specific biological/neurological/psychosocial effects of adverse childhood experiences. Projects should target pathogenesis, mechanisms, or development of disease‑modifying treatments (including non‑hormonal options) for high‑burden, underfunded conditions. Investigators may submit up to two applications per PI per cycle; contact Carole King (carole.king@med.usc.edu) for institutional coordination and application details.
