Better women’s health begins with the facts.

For more than 25 years, the Foundation for Women’s Wellness has funded early-stage women’s health research, sponsored emerging physician-scientists, and equipped women and clinicians with science-backed education.

The Foundation for Women’s Wellness (FWW), a 501c3 nonprofit, was established in the late 1990s by Dr. Lila Nachtigall and Dr. Richard Nachtigall. Addressing a lack of funding for women’s health research, FWW provides funding for promising research (grants and fellowships) and education on timely women’s health topics. Our work is grounded in rigorous science and compassion.

FWW research and fellowship awards catalyze medical discovery in priority areas of women’s health including female cancers, cardiovascular and hormone-related diseases, stage-of-life issues (pregnancy, menopause), diseases disproportionately affecting women, and the elucidation of sex differences in health and disease.

Being published, presented, and ultimately receiving larger grants, these high-impact studies and promising physician-scientists are advancing medical expertise.
