The Women in Global Health Research Initiative aims to support women global health researchers working to improve health in low and middle income countries. Female health providers are well-poised to change the trajectory of poor health outcomes, but women hold less than 25% of leadership roles in global health research. 

​

Why don't we see more women in global health leadership? What kind of support is needed in order for women to stay in this field? 

​

The Women in Global Health Research Initiative works to address four main gender-based challenges that women working in global health often encounter in their careers. Our network currently extends across Haiti, Tanzania, India, Uganda, Lebanon, and New York!
