June 1-3, 2008

Sponsor(s): Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, School of Medicine and Dentistry, University of Rochester; Reproductive Sciences Branch (RSB), Center for Population Research (CPR), NICHD

Location: University of Rochester
Purpose: NICHD established the WRHR Career Development Program in 1998. The 20 program sites located in departments of obstetrics and gynecology nationwide support research career development of obstetrician-gynecologists by bridging clinical training with research independence, leading to an independent scientific career addressing women's reproductive health concerns. The purpose of the meeting is to bring together junior faculty appointed to the program and established investigators to address the full spectrum of research in obstetrics and gynecology from basic science to clinical applications. The meeting will allow the scholars to present their research, expose them to the broad area of reproductive science, and offer opportunities for future collaborations.
