For nearly 20 years the UCSF Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology & Reproductive Sciences has proudly ranked #1 or #2 for National Institute of Health grant funding within ob/gyn departments across the country. Our scientists advance treatments for ovarian cancer, maternal mortality, and IVF. 

We are also proud to house the Center for Reproductive Sciences (CRS), a unique research unit which promotes high quality, cutting edge research in the field of reproductive sciences. Department research programs investigate and impact a vast array of reproductive health areas including environmental impact research on reproduction, social science research investigating reproductive access and care, and global research on HIV and cancer prevention efforts.
