A WORTHWHILE PARTNER

The Centre for Research in Women's Health (CRWH)
is a joint partnership between Sunnybrook and Women's College Health Sciences Centre and the University of Toronto since 1995.
CRWH is committed to conducting and fostering research relevant to women's lives, and to promoting its application in diverse communities.
The success of CRWH is founded on excellence in research that is internationally recognised as making a contribution to women's health through its outstanding investigators, innovative methodologies and practice-based context.

CRWH is dedicated to bridging the gap between diverse research perspectives and to fulfilling its goal of leadership through partnership by building strong alliances with other organisations involved in women's health. We continue to build inter-sectoral partnerships with government and non-government organisations, health care and academic institutions, community groups, and corporate sponsors. CRWH is also committed to building capacity by promoting partnerships with students and researchers-in-training and disseminating our approaches and methodologies locally and internationally.

Acknowledged as a leader in women's health research, CRWH is also designated as the Pan American Health Organization/World Health Organization Collaborating Centre in Women's Health: the only one of its kind in the Western Hemisphere. This designation has facilitated further partnerships with scholars, practitioners, activists, and students around the world.
