Under the umbrella of the VA Women’s Health Research Network, the Women’s Improvement Network (WIN) is an innovative community-based, virtual group comprising women Veteran VA users. WIN members actively collaborate with researchers and contribute to improvements in research, policy, and clinical practice.
Members attend quarterly 60-minute meetings and participate in active feedback across all phases of research and quality improvement efforts, including: reviewing research ideas, materials and products; strategizing to improve research impacts; and improving Veterans’ experiences with research.
