WCHRI Clinical Research Support in Women’s Health

The Women and Children’s Health Research Institute (WCHRI) is dedicated to advancing women’s health through research. We support studies that address health issues unique to women, such as menstruation, pregnancy, menopause, and gynecologic and reproductive health (including conditions like endometriosis and urogynecologic issues). We also focus on health issues that may affect women differently or disproportionately, such as heart disease, inflammatory diseases, and metabolic conditions like diabetes. To move research from discovery to patient care, WCHRI established a dedicated platform at the Lois Hole Hospital for Women (LHHW). This platform consists of a dedicated specialized coordination team based in the Dale Sheard Centre for Solutions in Women’s Health. Our research coordinators support our members throughout the entire research process, ensuring rigor and adherence to regulatory standards. This essential infrastructure helps develop interventions and treatments tailored to women’s specific needs.
