About ORWH<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The NIH Office of Research on Women’s Health (ORWH)<\/a> was established in September 1990 in response to congressional, scientific, and advocacy concerns that a lack of systemic and consistent inclusion of women in NIH-supported clinical research could result in clinical decisions being made about health care for women based solely on findings from studies of men \u2014 without any evidence that they were applicable to women. ORWH is part of the Office of the Director of NIH, and works in partnership with the 27 NIH Institutes and Centers to ensure that women’s health research is part of the scientific framework at the NIH \u2014 and throughout the scientific community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
