New Pilot Program Will Mentor Leaders and Advance Women’s Health
We are pleased to announce a new and exciting program designed to create a more robust cadre of researchers dedicated to women’s health research. The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) and the NIH Office of Research on Women’s Health (ORWH) are partnering to launch a pilot program to support and train research scholars by helping them acquire and hone team science leadership and mentoring skills. The Team Science Leadership Scholars Program (LSP) will be funded by ORWH and embedded within the Accelerating Medicines Partnership® Autoimmune and Immune-Mediated Diseases (AMP® AIM) program, which NIAMS and ORWH both support1.
Overzealous Immune Cells Hamper Healing
https://www.niams.nih.gov/overzealous-immune-cells-hamper-healing
For a type of wound that often plagues patients with diabetes, healing is no sure thing. IRP researchers recently identified why certain immune cells shift from helpful healers into saboteurs in those injuries.
NIH Collaboration Seeks to Help Understand U.S. Burden of Health Disparities
https://www.niams.nih.gov/nih-collaboration-seeks-help-understand-us-burden-health-disparities
Since the early 1990s, federal support of research has increased to understand minority health and identify and address health disparities. Research in these areas has evolved from a starting point of developing a basic descriptive understanding of health disparities and who is most affected.
NIAMS Is Listening: Help Shape Our Next Strategic Plan
