Research Opportunities

Research projects can include a broad range of topics, including all aspects of clinical contraceptive use, abortion techniques, behavioral assessments and assessment of decision-making, evaluation of domestic or international family planning programs. Basic science research is an option; Dr. Deborah Anderson leads the group of immunology researchers. Dr. Wendy Kuohung in the reproductive endocrinology division has moved her laboratory to BU. Other basic science liaisons are encouraged.

Fellows enroll in the CREST program, a multi-disciplinary NIH-funded program to foster clinical research among fellows. The curriculum is designed to dove-tail with courses in the School of Public Health , and includes internship on the IRB. Fellow research projects are presented to the group and the mentors.
