New Investigator Awards

Endowment Scholarships

For 2025, the scholarship provided four clinicians working in women’s health with a one-year (Jan-Dec) 2026 Society membership, complimentary registration to attend the main program and Menopause 101 course at the Society’s 2025 Annual Meeting (either virtually or in-person), and up to $1,000 in travel reimbursement if attending the Annual Meeting in person.

New for 2025, two additional travel awards sponsored by the NIH Office of Research on Women’s Health provide funding for registration to the main program of the 2025 Annual Meeting and funds for travel.
