Accelerating Research for the Benefit of Women's Health.
“How many of you have wives;
how many of you have daughters;
how many of you have sisters?
And I know you all have mothers…
What do you do to help them stay healthy?”
The Doris Howell Foundation exists to advocate for female representation in research efforts affecting THEIR own health.
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. For us, women’s health starts with research.
We award research scholarships to undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate scientists specifically researching women’s health-related issues to discover the next scientific breakthrough for women’s health.
Our Lecture Series provides early access to women-specific, cutting-edge research to promote health awareness for the women in our community.
We are THAT unique.

“We have entered a new era in Women’s Health. Tomorrow’s research breakthrough depends on what we do today to make a difference in the future of healthcare. It’s an honor to be part of this incredible group of people who believe in women’s health causes.”
