Our Commitment to Research
|
| |
|
Advancing endometriosis research is one of EndoFound's primary goals. To fulfil this commitment, we provide grant awards through our annual grant cycle. Each year, we receive compelling proposals from various institutions across the United States and internationally. Topics range from the social impact of endometriosis to the cellular and molecular make-up of the disease. This year, we received over 40 applications, the highest volume ever received in EndoFound's history. We are pleased to announce the following awardee institutions:
- Curtin University (Australia)
- Feinstein Institute for Medical Research
- Hudson Institute of Medical Research
- Johns Hopkins University
- Michigan State University
- Mayo Clinic
- Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine
- Queen's University (Canada)
- Yale School of Medicine
