FWW Research

Foundation for Women’s Wellness supports biomedical research to further knowledge about women’s health in general, and on gender differences. Our research efforts include funding short-term, small-scale research studies that hold promise to provide new information and catalyze larger scale investigations funded by the federal government. FWW also initiates an award to future physician-scientists working in women’s health, and in-house research spearheaded by Dr. Lila E. Nachtigall, MD.

With the support of Foundation for Women’s Wellness, the first U.S.-based study on the effectiveness of a popular herbal supplement in reducing menopausal hot flashes was completed.
