Women’s Health Research at Yale

Women’s Health Research at Yale fosters and supports interdisciplinary research on women’s health and sex differences in health and disease. In the past five years, our program has funded over 40 innovative studies by Yale investigators in diverse content areas resulting in new findings of practical benefit. Our program is dedicated to improving the health and healthcare of all individuals through new scientific knowledge, and facilitating the integration of research findings into clinical and personal practice.

Women Faculty Forum

The Women Faculty Forum (WFF) emerged from the effort, during Yale’s Tercentennial year, to highlight the presence of women at the University and the accomplishments of Yale alumnae. Professors and staff from across the campus—from diverse fields in the college, the professional and graduate schools—came together to develop programs for the Tercentennial. We learned not only that we enjoy doing work together but also that there is a great deal more that we could yet do. To that end, with the support of the President and administration, the Women Faculty Forum continues to work in conjunction with alumni/ae, faculty and students to foster community for the many women at Yale and to deepen our understandings of the effects and implications of gender on all fields of thought. The WFF’s monographs and reports include “Women and Yale University: A Snapshot 2002,” “Challenges for Parenting Professors: Report on Childcare 2003,” and Gender Matters: Women and Yale in its Third Century.
