OHSU's Building Interdisciplinary Research Careers in Women's Health (BIRCWH) Program
The National Institute of Child Health & Human Development (NICHD) and the Office on Women’s Health (OWH) established the BIRCWH program in 2000 to advance mentored research career development of junior faculty who will be engaged in interdisciplinary basic, behavioral, clinical, or health services research in women’s health. The Oregon BIRCWH program is dedicated to training tomorrow’s leaders in women’s health research.
The OHSU BIRCWH program creates a stimulating and nurturing environment for junior faculty to develop into leading Scientists in Women's Health. We provide a mentored scholarly research experience, including both salary support and protected time, which are absolutely essential.
