Dr. Jeanette Magnus
NIH
The program is dedicated to promoting Women's Health research and the subsequent transfer of findings.  In order to improve he quality and increase the quantity of Women's Health research, Tulane BIRCWH proposes to bridge the period between advanced training and research independence as well as link professions, scientific disciplines, and areas of interest for selected scholars.  This will ensure, in a thoughtfully mentored setting, the necessary protected time for both didactic learning and research training such that the program will ultimately produce exceedingly competent junior faculty members who will achieve research independence.
