The WOMAN Trial has been shortlisted for a Times Higher Education award for Research Project of the Year.
Winners of all the categories in these high-profile UK prizes will be announced at a special gala evening in London on Thursday 30 November.
The annual awards attract hundreds of entries that exemplify the talent, dedication and innovation of individuals and teams across all aspects of university life.
Being shortlisted is a testament to everyone involved in the WOMAN Trial which, while coordinated by the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, was only able to succeed thanks to a global collaboration of obstetricians, midwives, pharmacists, administrators, ethics committees and regulatory agencies who helped recruit a total of 20,060 women from 193 hospital in 21 countries.
The Research Project of the Year: STEM will be awarded to the individual or team at a UK higher education institution for innovative research in STEM subjects that has a far-reaching impact and has caught, or has the potential to catch, the imagination of the public.
WOMAN Trial Project Director Haleema Shakur said: “We are delighted that the WOMAN Trial has been recognised in this way and hope it will help draw attention to post-partum haemorrhage as a global health issue and the role of tranexamic acid in reducing deaths from bleeding after childbirth".
