The organization selected two research projects to receive the 2020 Joan F. Giambalvo Fund for the Advancement of Women Award, which offers up to $10,000 in grants.
Anees Chagpar, MD, a professor of surgery at Yale School of Medicine in New Haven, Conn., is conducting the first project. The funding will support her work to create a virtual negotiating workshop for female physicians to help eliminate pay disparities in medicine, particularly in the surgical field.
A team of female researchers from Southern Illinois University School of Medicine in Springfield is conducting the second project. The team launched a formal sponsorship program for women in medicine and science to increase representation of female-led research at national meetings and in research publications.
