SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice is in accordance with 42 U.S.C. 
287d of the Public Health Service Act, as amended. Created by the ORWH 
in partnership with NIH Institutes, Centers, and Offices.
    This year, the BIRCWH abstracts have been grouped into nine 
categories with the following number of abstracts, from highest to 
lowest: Public Health (12), Reproductive Health (10), Sex and Gender 
Differences (9), Health Disparities (9), Cancer (9), Neuroscience (8), 
Clinical Research (7), Basic Research (6), and Bioengineering/
Bioinformatics (3). The number and quality of abstracts centered on 
Public Health and Basic Research has increased this year, indicating a 
growing focus on women's health and the influence of biological sex on 
health and disease in these important areas. Specifically, several 
abstracts in these categories focus on maternal morbidity, perinatal 
health, and how biological sex and gender transition impact health and 
disease. The meeting will include the 2024 Ruth L. Kirschstein Memorial 
Lecture by Abbey B. Berenson M.D., MMS, Ph.D., and the 2024 Legacy of 
Leadership Lecture by Nina F. Schor, M.D., Ph.D.
