Women’s health starts with research. Health prevention strategies, illness diagnosis and treatment, and drug development efforts rely on gender-inclusive research results. Historically, women have been either underrepresented, or excluded in medical research efforts.  This may lead to adverse health outcomes for women.

The Doris A. Howell Foundation for Women’s Health Research accelerates research with key programs that advance women’s health: 
-Our Community Education Events provide early, first hand access to  cutting-edge research where medical experts, scientists, doctors, and researchers convey timely, reliable information on topics relevant to women’s health.  By presenting the latest research in women’s health, we advocate for women in our community to make an informed decision about their health.
-Our Scholarship Program funds research seed grants to undergraduate and graduate individuals conducting critical research that may affect women’s health.  By funding women-specific research, we hope to inspire students to follow a career that addresses women’s health needs.

By focusing on women-specific issues, we help Keep the Women We Love Healthy.

Mission Statement:  The Howell Foundation invests in scholars’
research and community education to improve women’s health.

The Doris A. Howell Foundation for Women's Health Research is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Tax ID # 33-0715532.
