Our program serves as an incubator for catalyzing new approaches to understanding the health of women, and/or the influence of sex differences on health, consistent with the NIH definition. The 2025-26 application process is now open.

However, the needs of patients and families can be overwhelming for ICU and palliative care teams. A recent review from researchers at Yale investigated the symptoms of patients in the ICU, the palliative care resources available to address them, and strategies for incorporating palliative medicine principles into the ICU to improve patient- and family-centered care.
