The ROSA Center has established a robust training program that provides funding, training and educational opportunities to early career investigators, who will in turn amplify and expand the research focus of the Brigham/Harvard ROSA Center. Awardees of grants through our funding opportunities will have the opportunity to join the CEC Associate Scientists. Below are the funding opportunities offered by the ROSA Center. To view our current ROSA Trainees and Awardees, click here.
The ROSA Center Pilot program is for early-stage investigators (postdocs and junior faculty) and are perfect for investigators seeking to obtain preliminary data in order to facilitate applications for future NIH K- or R-level awards. These awards are typically $60,000 over a 2-year term and align with the ROSA Center.

To foster collaboration between SCORE sites and enable early career scientists to learn new technical skills and/or enhance SCORE collaborations, the ROSA Center awards SCORE Travel Fellowships which allow ROSA Associate scientists to visit external SCORE sites, and for SCORE sites to send fellows/faculty to the Brigham/ Harvard ROSA Center site. Awards are typically $3000 for travel-related costs.
This program is not currently accepting applications.
The ROSA Scholar program equipped early-stage faculty and established investigators who wished to refocus their careers on sex-differences and women’s health translational research with critical tools to become leading researchers in the field through a mentored research project with the goal of empowering Scholars to apply for and receive NIH K- or R- level funding. Scholars participated in robust educational and career development programming which enabled them to develop an understanding of women’s health and how to incorporate sex-differences when planning, analyzing, and reporting data. Scholar programming was led by Kathryn Rexrode, MD, MPH and Janet Rich- Edwards, ScD, MPH, SCORE Career Enhancement Core (CEC) co-Leaders and leveraged the robust research infrastructure and expertise in women’s health, sleep medicine, neuroscience, dementia, and cardiometabolic disease at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School.
