ORWH Seeks Input on Strategic Plan

NIH’s Office of Research on Women’s Health has published a request for information (RFI), NOT-OD-22-186, to solicit input from stakeholders across the scientific research, advocacy and patient communities, as well as the public, to inform the topics that will be included in the forthcoming NIH-Wide Strategic Plan for Research on the Health of Women.

ORWH plans to include information on recent public health events (e.g., the Covid-19 pandemic) that have had a significant impact on the health of women. Several topics were reviewed by NIH and the advisory committee on research on women’s health (ACRWH), through the congressionally directed and ORWH-led “Advancing NIH Research on the Health of Women: A 2021 Conference.” ACRWH recommendations as well as recent scientific advances, current health priorities and feedback from the RFI will be considered in the development of the plan.

Input on the plan will be accepted through Thursday, Sept. 29. All responses must be submitted electronically at https://bit.ly/3QlchwE. Send questions to NIHWideSPWH@nih.gov.
