SIR Foundation is pleased to announce a major gift donation from widely recognized expert on uterine fibroids and uterine fibroid embolization, John Lipman, MD, FSIR.

This support will make possible four years of funding for the newly announced Dr. Scott C. Goodwin Uterine Artery Embolization Grant and five years of funding for the Dr. James B. Spies Global Summit on Unterine Fibroid & Adenomyosis Research.

The Dr. Scott C. Goodwin Uterine Artery Embolization Grant is focused on advancing uterine fibroid and/or uterine artery embolization research and will launch October 2023. Additionally, the Dr. James B. Spies Global Summit on Uterine Fibroid & Adenomyosis Research was hosted in June 2023.  The research panel will be focused on a sub-topic under on Uterine Fibroid & Adenomyosis Research selected by the SIR Foundation Board of Directors.

Scott C. Goodwin, MD, FSIR, and James B. Spies, MD, FSIR, are highly regarded pioneers of uterine fibroid research, having led the SIR Foundation’s Fibroid Registry, the largest collection of data on uterine fibroids, and conducted foundational research into uterine artery embolization.
