Program Description
The Emory Prospective Opportunity for Women’s health Research (EmPOWR) Initiative collects & stores data for scientific investigations and stimulates greater inclusion of women in research. It includes a registry for storing health information and a repository for storing biospecimens donated from Emory Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics (Gyn/Ob) patients. This program was designed not only to contribute to scientific discovery, but to empower more women to be a part of groundbreaking research.
EmPOWR Interns will gain practical experience in multiple aspects of outpatient clinical research including patient recruitment, assessments, biospecimen collection and data management. Applications for this internship are highly competitive because opportunities for interns to conduct clinical research without an advanced/graduate degree are extremely rare. Interns are expected to make a strong commitment to this program.
