AJF: Improving Women’s Wellness through Health, Education, Research and Service
Dr. Anandibai Joshi Memorial Foundation for Women’s Health and Education (AJF) is a federally approved IRS Code 501(c)3 Nonprofit Public Charitable Organization located in the state of Pennsylvania (USA) dedicated to improving women’s wellness through health, education, service, and research.
AJF identifies and supports research, education and civic engagement service on leading women’s health and general wellness concerns including preventive health promotion measures and providing required skills to achieve this, and stage-of-life health issues, diseases or disorders disproportionately affecting women, and elucidation of sex differences in health and disease. Our education, service, and research awards provide critical funding to meet our mission.
AJF also supports future physician-scientists, medical and biomedical professionals and technologies and entrepreneurs through research and fellowship awards to meritorious individuals from diverse backgrounds with high academic and research achievement and dedication. AJF will also be supporting the presentation, publication of the findings of their research outcomes at various relevant conferences, seminars and symposia or arranging such presentation platforms.
AJF will accept endowment(s) from other organizations, industries, government or semi-government units or academic and research units, such as colleges, universities, other nonprofit organizations sharing similar vision or philanthropies donations for this purpose or to create new endowment(s).
AJF is founded in December 2024 (registered in January 2025) by Prof. Dr. Suresh G. Joshi, MD, PhD, FIDSA, FSIS, an internationally recognized educator, clinician and researcher, in infection control and prevention, infectious diseases and public health at large, along with his team of experts. We intentionally maintain a relatively small infrastructure in order to direct donations to women’s education, service, research and fellowship awards.
Join us to improve women’s health and wellness.
