Women make up over half of the U.S. population, yet research on women’s health conditions, including those that are female specific, more common among women, or affect women differently, is severely lacking. To address this, the National Institutes of Health’s (NIH) Office of Research on Women’s Health tasked the National Academies with convening a committee of experts to assess the state of women’s health research at NIH, identify critical knowledge gaps and the allocation of funding needed to address them, provide recommendations on NIH structure, policies, and programs to optimize women’s health, and more.

At this public release webinar, the committee will discuss the resulting report’s conclusions and recommendations and will answer questions from the audience.
