Women's Health Research at Yale is an interdisciplinary research program that was established to respond to the need for scientific information on women's health and on gender-specific factors determining health and disease. Although the focus of the center's work is on women's health, the program generates scientific investigations that broaden the scope of knowledge about human health and operates on the belief that making a difference in women's lives will benefit every member of society. For more information about the program, please see www.yalewhr.org.
The Office of Cooperative Research and the Office of Grants and Contracts will present a seminar on material transfer agreements (MTAs), the agreements under which faculty can obtain research tools and reagents from companies and other institutions.
