Research on Women and Minorities
Thirty-four percent (12 of 35) of the grants that the CBCRP awarded in 2007 studied either women or tissues from women, while the remaining 66 percent were laboratory studies that did not directly involve women or tissues from women.
Of the 12 grants that involved women or tissues from women, 100 percent (12) had women as participants in the study.
Thirty-one percent (11) of these studies included minority women in the study.
- Twenty percent (7) are focused on underserved women.
- Fourteen percent (5) are focused on minority women.
