Powell center receives grant to support women’s health research
The Deborah E. Powell Center for Women’s Health has been awarded a $2.2 million grant over the next five years to promote research that will benefit the health of women in Minnesota and across the nation.
The grant, from the National Institutes of Health Office of Research on Women’s Health, will fund the Building Interdisciplinary Research Careers in Women’s Health (BIRCWH) program. The University of Minnesota was one of ten universities selected to receive the BIRCWH grant, which supports the career development of promising young faculty who have recently completed clinical training or postdoctoral fellowships and want to devote their careers to women’s health research.
