Shaw, M.D., M.M.Sc. received a B.S. from Cornell University, an M.D. from the State University of New York (SUNY) at Buffalo, and a Masters in Medical Sciences (MMSc) from Harvard Medical School. She completed her pediatrics residency at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, a pediatric endocrinology fellowship at Boston Children's Hospital, and a clinical research fellowship in the Reproductive Endocrine Unit at Massachusetts General Hospital.</p> \n      <p>In 2015, Shaw was one of five junior researchers selected as a Lasker Clinical Research Scholar by the National Institutes of Health. The Lasker program is a joint partnership between the NIH and the Lasker Foundation designed to support a small number of exceptional clinical researchers in the early stages of their careers. Its goal is to promote the development of physician-scientists as they transition to fully independent positions. When Shaw joined NIEHS in September 2015, she became the first Lasker Scholar in the history of the institute.</p> \n      <h4>Research Webpage</h4> \n      <ul> \n       <li> <a href=\"https://www.niehs.nih.gov/research/atniehs/labs/crb/pi/pn\" target=\"_blank\"> Pediatric Neuroendocrinology Group </a> <span title=\"This link is to a page not a part of the JOIN A STUDY web site.\"> </span> </li> \n      </ul> \n     </div> \n    </article> \n   </div> \n  </div> \n  <!-- Section: clns-bssn-card --> \n  <div> \n   <a href=\"https://joinastudy.niehs.nih.gov/studies/first-period/contact\"> <span> Are You Interested in Joining This Study? </span> </a> \n  </div> \n  <h3> For More Information About This Study </h3> \n  <ul> \n   <li>Call: 1\u2011855\u2011MYNIEHS (1\u2011855\u2011696\u20114347)</li> \n   <li> Email: <a href=\"mailto:MyNiehs@nih.gov\">MyNiehs@nih.gov</a> </li> \n   <li> Protocol Number: 19-E-0110 </li> \n   <li> <span> <span> <a href=\"https://www.niehs.nih.gov/research/atniehs/labs/crb/studies/first_period\" target=\"_blank\"> Study Background and Protocols </a> </span> </span> </li> \n  </ul> \n  <div> \n   <svg version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/2000/svg\" xmlns:xlink=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink\" x=\"0px\" y=\"0px\" viewbox=\"0 0 150 150\" xml:space=\"preserve\"> \n    <g> \n     <path d=\"M124.4,13.4c-8,0-14.5,6.5-14.5,14.5c0,3,0.9,5.7,2.4,8L80.1,68.1c-2.3-1.5-5.1-2.4-8-2.4\n                c-5.4,0-10,2.9-12.5,7.2l-19.4-5.2c0-0.2,0-0.5,0-0.8c0-8-6.5-14.5-14.5-14.5s-14.5,6.5-14.5,14.5s6.5,14.5,14.5,14.5\n                c5.8,0,10.8-3.4,13.1-8.4l18.9,5.1c-0.1,0.7-0.2,1.4-0.2,2.1c0,8,6.5,14.5,14.5,14.5c2.5,0,4.9-0.6,6.9-1.8l16.9,22.4\n                c-2.4,2.6-3.9,6-3.9,9.8c0,8,6.5,14.5,14.5,14.5s14.5-6.5,14.5-14.5s-6.5-14.5-14.5-14.5c-2.2,0-4.3,0.5-6.2,1.4L83.2,89.4\n                c2.1-2.5,3.3-5.7,3.3-9.2c0-3-0.9-5.9-2.5-8.2l32.1-32.1c2.3,1.6,5.2,2.6,8.3,2.6c8,0,14.5-6.5,14.5-14.5\n                C138.9,19.9,132.4,13.4,124.4,13.4z M25.7,76.4c-5.2,0-9.5-4.3-9.5-9.5s4.3-9.5,9.5-9.5s9.5,4.3,9.5,9.5S30.9,76.4,25.7,76.4z\n                  M116,125.1c0,5.2-4.3,9.5-9.5,9.5s-9.5-4.3-9.5-9.5c0-5.2,4.3-9.5,9.5-9.5S116,119.9,116,125.1z M124.4,37.4\n                c-5.2,0-9.5-4.3-9.5-9.5s4.3-9.5,9.5-9.5s9.5,4.3,9.5,9.5S129.7,37.4,124.4,37.4z\"></path> \n    </g> \n   </svg> \n   <div> \n    <p>This content is available to use on your website.</p> \n    <span>Please visit <a href=\"https://www.niehs.nih.gov/about/od/ocpl/policies/free-web-content/\" target=\"_blank\">NIEHS Syndication</a> to get started.</span> \n   </div> \n  </div> \n </div>\n <script type=\"application/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"http://schema.org\",\"@type\":\"Article\",\"headline\":\"Demystifying a Girl\u2019s First Period Study\",\"datePublished\":\"2019-11-11T13:11:00Z\",\"description\":\"A study conducted by NIEHS where moms can help their daughters prepare for puberty and demystify a girl\u2019s first period.\",\"about\":\"health, research, north carolina, study, Puberty, volunteer, clinical study, recruitment, open study, Durham, Raleigh, RTP, menstruation, periods\",\"audience\":\"\",\"dateCreated\":\"2019-11-11T13:11:00Z\",\"dateModified\":\"2026-11-28T02:11:15Z\",\"sourceOrganization\":\"National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences\"}</script>\n</body><div class='syndicate'><span><Strong>Syndicated Content Details:</strong></span><br/><span>Source URL: <a href='https://joinastudy.niehs.nih.gov/studies/first-period/index.htm'>https://joinastudy.niehs.nih.gov/studies/first-period/index.htm</a></span><br/><span>Source Agency: <a href='http://www.niehs.nih.gov/'>National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS)</a></span><br/><span>Captured Date: 2019-09-11 13:11:00.0</span><br/></div><iframe src=\"//www.googletagmanager.com/ns.html?id=GTM-KT9TM9&mediaId=18784&mediaType=html&sourceUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fjoinastudy.niehs.nih.gov%2Fstudies%2Ffirst-period%2Findex.htm&userId=-1&sourceId=23&sourceAcronym=NIEHS&campaignId=-1&campaignName=null&languageId=1&isoCode=eng\" height=\"0\" width=\"0\" style=\"display:none;visibility:hidden\"></iframe><noscript><iframe src=\"//www.googletagmanager.com/ns.html?id=GTM-KT9TM9&mediaId=18784&mediaType=html&sourceUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fjoinastudy.niehs.nih.gov%2Fstudies%2Ffirst-period%2Findex.htm&userId=-1&sourceId=23&sourceAcronym=NIEHS&campaignId=-1&campaignName=null&languageId=1&isoCode=eng\" height=\"0\" width=\"0\" style=\"display:none;visibility:hidden\"></iframe></noscript>","description":"A study conducted by NIEHS where moms can help their daughters prepare for puberty and demystify a girl\u2019s first period.","id":18784,"mediaType":"Html","name":"Demystifying a Girl\u2019s First Period Study","sourceUrl":"https://joinastudy.niehs.nih.gov/studies/first-period/index.htm"}]}
