Lauren Newmark Uterine Fibroid Research Scholarship
Uterine fibroids affect millions of women worldwide, yet there remains much to be explored and understood about their causes, treatments, and impacts on women’s health.
Uterine fibroids vary significantly from person to person, both in size and in symptoms, with some women experiencing little to no symptoms and others experiencing significant pain and suffering. In some cases, fibroids can cause anemia, infertility, and even excessive bleeding. The causes of uterine fibroids are still being studied, and gathering more information is crucial for better identification, prevention, and treatment.
This scholarship seeks to support students who are planning to dedicate their careers to understanding more about uterine fibroids and their treatment.
Any graduate student who is passionate about research and treatment for uterine fibroids may apply for this scholarship opportunity.
To apply, tell us why you’re passionate about studying fibroids, how you plan to contribute to the field, and any personal experiences or goals that have motivated you to pursue this path.

That’s why this scholarship holds such importance—it aims to support those who, like me, are affected by these conditions.
