Overview
The University of Wisconsin–Madison Research on Women’s Health Scholar (RoWHS) program is funded by the School of Medicine and Public Health. It provides interdisciplinary career development opportunities for a unique cohort of early career faculty to foster their successful transition to independent funding in women’s health research and sex differences research. This one-time program provides career development through competency-based curricular activities, mentored research training, and pioneering new approaches to team science and career coaching. Scholars will be supported for one year. Upon completion of the program, applicants may be eligible for additional support and consideration through the UW BIRCWH program pending future funding.
The program is open to SMPH faculty only and offers one year of support of up to $75,000 with 75% protected research time, competency-based career development opportunities, and a unique interdisciplinary mentorship approach to support faculty in the early stages of their research careers.
