The mission of Penn State Center for Women’s Health Research is to promote research on women’s health ­and on sex/gender differences related to health by supporting a network of faculty members in multiple disciplines who are interested in research collaborations to study various aspects of women’s health.

The center seeks to promote the development of interdisciplinary research teams and can facilitate mentoring opportunities for junior faculty members.

The ultimate goal is to advance science and contribute to the development of health promotion, disease prevention, health services delivery and health policy approaches to improving health and well­-being for women across the life span.
