The first quality standard for women’s health research
Evidence was built on a male default.Women deserve a new standard.
Women's health research has a quality problem. We're fixing it — building the evidence base that clinicians, researchers, and women deserve.
Bridging the gap between clinical research and the women it serves.
Rigorous
We rate the quality and applicability of women's health research — from study design through methodology to reporting — so the field finally knows what the evidence is actually worth.
Inclusive
For research to apply to women, it must first include them — across ages, conditions, and the biological diversity that makes women's health distinct.
Female-specific
Women's health research must reflect the full spectrum of female biology and lived experience — from hormonal cycles to life-stage transitions to conditions that present differently in women.
"The evidence base for women's health is incomplete. Understanding where it falls short — and what counts as good evidence — is the first step toward fixing it."
Our Initiative
Focus Areas
WHRS™ SCALE
Applies the Standard to published and prospective research, grading quality and applicability across inclusion, methodology, and outcomes — exposing gaps and pointing toward remediation.
WHRS™ DATABASE
Building a rated, searchable women's health database — so the evidence feeding into education, care, and policy is of the highest integrity.
WHRS™ CERTIFIED
Recognizes researchers and institutions that have trained in and committed to the Standard — certifying their work meets the gold standard for women's health research.
