Fueling Vital Research to Improve Women’s Health.
The Center for Women’s Health Research (CWHR) at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus invests in and conducts groundbreaking research in women’s health and sex differences with a focus on cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Given that research on women’s health was largely not included in studies until the 1990s and has historically been underfunded, the CWHR is dedicated to funding the next generation of women’s health research and mentoring young scientists while educating the community at large.
RESEARCH: To carry out groundbreaking research in cardiovascular disease and diabetes in women to lessen morbidity and mortality in these diseases.
MENTORING: To mentor and train the next generation of women's health researchers in order to create leaders in the field.
