Announcing New Training Opportunity: BIRCWH Program,
Building Interdisciplinary Research Careers in Women’s Health

Applications are now being accepted for the Building Interdisciplinary Research Careers in Women's Health (BIRCWH) Program. The Building Interdisciplinary Research Careers in Women’s Health (BIRCWH) Scholars Program at the University of Wisconsin (UW) has two linked goals which are: 1) to increase the diversity of academic leaders in the field of Women’s Health (WH); and 2) to promote research to reduce existing disparities in health status and health outcomes in diverse populations of women. Diverse and talented applicants will be provided with dual scientific mentorship with established investigators in both biomedical and behavioral/social sciences; a 2-3 year didactic curriculum (biostatistics and study design, ethics, leadership/management, presentation and teaching, and scientific writing); and individual guidance in a safe environment that values diversity. The BIRCWH Scholars Program is the perfect complement to the existing training and career development programs in women’s health research. Application and information is available here.
