New Award Program in Women’s Health at Yale University

With a $1 million gift for an endowment, Women’s Health Research at Yale University has established the Wendy U. and Thomas C. Naratil Pioneer Award. The award program will provide seed money for research projects on women’s health issues.

The awards will be targeted to scholars whose research is highly inventive or are close to a major breakthrough in advancing women’s health. Carolyn M. Mazure, professor of psychiatry and director of Women’s Health Research at Yale, stated, “The New Wendy U. and Thomas C. Naratil Pioneer Award dramatically increases the reach and productivity of our Pilot Project Program and ensures, in perpetuity, that we can develop vital research in women’s health and gender differences.”

Dr. Mazure is a graduate of the State University of New York and holds a Ph.D. from Pennsylvania State University.
