“Exciting news! Watch here as The National Institutes of Health Director Dr. Monica Bertagnolli unveils the future direction of Womens Health research at NIH and beyond, heralding the release of the NIH-Wide Strategic Plan for Research on the Health of Women. Additionally, ORWH released new materials including the Understudied, Underrepresented, and Underreported (U3) Data Book and NIH Fact Sheets on Women’s Health Research.

What is the new NIH-Wide Strategic Plan?
The NIH-Wide Strategic Plan for Research on the Health of Women outlines a comprehensive approach to studying the diverse internal and external factors influencing women’s health, incorporating basic, translational, and data science methodologies, while emphasizing the importance of diverse perspectives and collaboration across all stages of research.

What is the Understudied, Underrepresented, and Underreported (U3) Data Book?
The U3 Data Book explores the health of women from understudied, underrepresented, and underreported populations, focusing on the intersection of socially determined categories such as class, race, age, and gender to understand their influence on treatment outcomes and trajectories.

What is the NIH Fact Sheet on Women’s Health?
The NIH Fact Sheets on Women’s Health Research provide comprehensive health and disease data for women, alongside discussions on sex/gender differences and female-specific considerations, covering key topics such as autoimmune disease, cancer, and mental health, while highlighting scientific gaps and ongoing NIH initiatives. ”
