Cynthia Louise Harden Research Award

The Cynthia Louise Harden Award supports essential research addressing neuroendocrine conditions in women and girls. Building on Dr. Harden’s legacy, the award promotes investigation into under-researched neurological issues, driving progress in sexual health, menopause, and bone health where new discoveries are urgently needed.

Dr. Harden believed deeply in the power of courage, humility, and conviction, once sharing: “I have found that having a humble outlook is the most effective and comprehensive way to open your heart and mind to gain an understanding of everyone and everything around you… You can achieve your goals through this strategy.” This award reflects her values by encouraging bold, compassionate inquiry that advances science while honoring the lived experiences of women and girls.
