Our goal

Women’s health has been underfunded and under-researched for decades, leaving critical gaps in understanding and treatment that affect half the population. From heart disease studies based almost entirely on male physiology to medical devices and pharmaceuticals not tested for hormonal variation, the consequences of this imbalance are profound — and solvable. We believe the next wave of innovation in health technology, product development, and biomedical research will come from those who dare to design with women’s bodies in mind. The Women’s Health Research & Innovation Scholarship, was created to support the next generation of scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs working to change this story. Each year, the scholarship funds students advancing research, tools, and technologies that improve women’s health outcomes — from early detection, diagnosis and treatment to mental health, wearable devices, and beyond. Your contribution directly fuels innovation that matters. By expanding this scholarship, we can empower more brilliant minds to pursue breakthroughs in femtech, medical engineering, and research that benefits women everywhere. Together, we can help close the innovation gap — and build a future where healthcare is engineered for everyone.
