Background
ORWH is in the process of exploring new dimensions and strategies for women’s health and sex/gender research priorities for the NIH in
the coming years. Such efforts would include a renewed emphasis on normal processes, developmental biology, and aging in women, reflection
upon the potential application of new technologies, emerging diseases and conditions that may affect women’s health or affect women
differently, and integration of cutting edge diagnostic and therapeutic strategies into health care delivery, among other perspectives.
Request for Public Testimony on Women's Health
The Office of Research on Women’s Health invites individuals representing organizations with an interest in research areas related to
women’s health to provide written and oral testimony on these topics and on career issues for women scientists at a public hearing to be
held on March 4, 2009 starting at 2:00 p.m at Washington University
in St.Louis.
It is critical to ensure that future priorities for women’s health research anticipate new dimensions of research and health and
incorporate innovative and successful strategies.
