AGENCY: National Institutes of Health, HHS.
ACTION: Request for information.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Office of Research on Women's Health (ORWH) is updating

from the basic, clinical, and translational scientists; advocacy and
patient communities; and the public on topics under consideration for
the next strategic plan.
DATES: NIH Request for Information (RFI) on NIH-Wide Strategic Plan for
Research on the Health of Women is open for public comment through

<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#692720213e000d0c3a393e2129070001470e061f"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="317f78796658555462616679715f58591f565e47">[email protected]</span></a>, 301-435-0971.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: ORWH was established in the Office of the
NIH Director by the Public Health Service Act to (a) identify projects
and multidisciplinary research related to women's health; (b) encourage
research on sex differences and promote coordination among research
entities; (c) assist NIH efforts to include women as participants in
clinical research; and (d) develop opportunities and support for women
in biomedical careers. These efforts will continue to be part of the
office's core mission. Please see <a href="https://orwh.od.nih.gov/about/mission/">https://orwh.od.nih.gov/about/mission/</a> for more on the ORWH mission.
ORWH is responsible for an NIH-wide strategic plan for research on
the health of women that promotes allocation of NIH resources for
conducting and supporting research efforts on the health of women
across NIH Institutes and Centers. The NIH Strategic Plan for Women's
Health Research FY 2019-2023 <a href="https://orwh.od.nih.gov/sites/orwh/files/docs/ORWH_Strategic_Plan_2019_508C_0.pdf">https://orwh.od.nih.gov/sites/orwh/files/docs/ORWH_Strategic_Plan_2019_508C_0.pdf</a> was developed by a
collaborative group of leaders from the NIH Institutes, Centers, and
Offices (ICOs); external stakeholders; and the public. The plan
incorporates the missions of the NIH ICOs with ORWH's mission to pave
the way toward scientific and workforce efforts that ultimately benefit
the health and biomedical research careers of women. ORWH is currently
in the process of updating the NIH-Wide Strategic Plan for Research on
the Health of Women. Recent, significant public health events (e.g.,
the COVID pandemic) have had significant effects on the health of
women. Several topics relevant to the health of women were reviewed by
the NIH and the NIH Advisory Committee on Research on Women's Health
(ACRWH) in 2021, through the congressionally directed and ORWH-led
Women's Health Conference <a href="https://orwh.od.nih.gov/research/2021-womens-health-research-conference">https://orwh.od.nih.gov/research/2021-womens-health-research-conference</a>. This required a review of NIH activities to
identify research opportunities to address maternal mortality and
morbidity, survival rates of cervical cancer, and chronic and
debilitating diseases in women. The recommendations that the ACRWH made
consequent to this conference as well as recent scientific advances;
new technologies; current health priorities; and feedback from this
Request for Information will all be considered in the development of
the next NIH-Wide Strategic Plan for Research on the Health of Women to
help guide future NIH research efforts to improve the health of all
women throughout the entire life course.
Request for Information
Please provide your perspective on the following topics:
<bullet> Research opportunities in the NIH Strategic Plan for
Women's Health Research FY 2019-2023 <a href="https://orwh.od.nih.gov/sites/orwh/files/docs/ORWH_Strategic_Plan_2019_508C_0.pdf">https://orwh.od.nih.gov/sites/orwh/files/docs/ORWH_Strategic_Plan_2019_508C_0.pdf</a> that should be
modified to account for recent scientific advances.
<bullet> Emerging research needs and opportunities that reflect the
changing landscape of the study of the health of women that should be
added to the plan.
<bullet> Cross-cutting scientific themes (for example,
multidisciplinary research, and/or utilizing data science, natural
language processing, and artificial intelligence) or research-related
themes that should be common to all future strategic goals and
objectives (such as considerations of sex, gender, and age on health
and disease, and health disparities).
