Women's Health Research Group

The Women's Health Research Group (WHRG), University of Maryland, Baltimore, is a multidisciplinary campus-wide organization created to examine women's health concerns from the perspectives of dentistry, medicine, law, nursing, pharmacy, public health, and social work.  Founded in 1997, the mission of the WHRG is to provide an intellectual community for the study of women's health, to create a forum for investigators to present information on current research efforts, and to build a collaborative framework for future research.  The WHRG sponsors research grants for student and faculty researchers, a jointly-sponsored annual aging and women's health research poster day, an annual women's health research symposium, and seminars on new research findings. WHRG faculty oversee many research projects and clinical trials on women's health issues.
