SUMMARY:3rd Reproductive Aging Conference
DESCRIPTION:Aging in the gonad dramatically affects aging in somatic tissues\, yet we know little about the mechanisms regulating healthy aging in reproductive organs\, nor how this crosstalk is achieved. The Reproductive Aging Conference focuses on understanding mechanisms that regulate aging in reproductive tissues and their relationship to overall organismal healthspan and longevity. To the knowledge of the hosts\, this is the only international meeting dedicated entirely to the topic of reproductive aging. \nThe goal of the Reproductive Aging Conference is to showcase research and stimulate collaborations that bridge the disciplines of reproductive biology and aging research to help define new paradigms to accelerate progress. Hosts provide a forum for coalescing the field and fostering discussion of concepts and presentation of research at the forefront of discovery related to aging in the reproductive system and its connection to aging in the rest of the body. \nReproductive aging research encompasses multiple facets of cell biology and physiology: identification of the molecular and cellular mechanisms that regulate aging in reproductive organs that facilitate overall healthspan and longevity; mechanisms of germ cell and niche aging and how these might regulate systemic aging; and developing new models to study these interactions. The intersection of these historically separate research areas\, the basic biology of aging and aging in the reproductive tract\, have begun to merge around common molecular principles. Invited speakers include established as well as outstanding early career scientists selected for the quality of their science and ability to stimulate debate. \n\n\nRegister

SUMMARY:Exploring Obesity’s Impact on Women and Policy’s Role in Improving Outcomes
DESCRIPTION:Check out presenter slides from the event here.  \n  \nObesity is a significant public health issue in the United States\, affecting millions of Americans and costing billions of dollars in health care expenses. Women are disproportionately affected by the obesity epidemic\, both in terms of their health outcomes and the economic costs of the disease. There are also notable racial and economic disparities associated with obesity. \nDuring this congressional briefing\, panelists explore the disproportionate impact of obesity on women\, including obesity risk factors that are unique to women\, the unique challenges faced by women\, particularly from marginalized communities\, and how federal policies could play a role in improving health outcomes. \n*This event is widely attended and relevant to official duties.

SUMMARY:SWHR Pre-Conference Symposium: Lights\, Camera\, and Action to Improve Women’s Heart Health
DESCRIPTION:Part of the OSSD Annual Meeting\nThis event is taking place on Sunday\, May 5 at 12:10-2:05 p.m. CET\, in-person in Bergen\, Norway. \nThe Society for Women’s Health Research (SWHR) is committed to advancing women’s health through science\, policy\, and education while promoting research on sex differences to optimize women’s health. Although research has documented sex differences in heart health and disease\, insufficient attention to the study of sex\, gender\, and hormones in cardiovascular research and a lack of inclusion of women in clinical studies have perpetuated disparities in women’s heart health. Moreover\, data is often not stratified to understand impacts for diverse subpopulations of women. This session will discuss advances\, challenges\, and opportunities to address cardiovascular disease in women – from the lab to legislation – with insights that can be translated for implementation across the globe.  \nAgenda \n12:10 – 12:35 p.m.: Lunch  \n12:35 – 12:50 p.m.: Spotlighting Gaps & Opportunities to Improve Women’s Heart Health\, presented by Irene O. Aninye\, PhD\, Chief Science Officer\, Society for Women’s Health Research  \n One way that the SWHR has worked to advance cardiovascular research and care for women is by convening experts across disciplines and sectors to survey the scientific landscape and propose research questions\, clinical strategies\, and policy solutions to address key gaps in the field. This presentation will walk through actions that SWHR has taken to address disparities in women’s heart heath and highlight persistent gaps that still need national and global attention. As women’s health cannot advance without engaging health care advocacy and policy stakeholders\, this session will also discuss the central roles that scientists play in advocacy efforts\, providing examples of how their involvement has promoted legislative change in the women’s heart health space in the United States.  \n12:50 – 1:05 p.m.: Intersecting Realities Concerning Heart Health and Intersectionality\, presented by Syreen Goulmamine\, MPH\, Science Programs Manager\, Society for Women’s Health Research  \n Effective public health research acknowledges the complex interplay of various social determinants of health that shape an individual’s risk factors\, experiences\, and health outcomes. When studying women’s heart health and disease\, researchers must consider how women exist within multiple social categories simultaneously\, and how these intersecting identities can result in unique health challenges and disparities. Factors such as race\, ethnicity\, gender\, socioeconomic status\, access to healthcare\, and environmental conditions can all play significant roles in shaping a woman’s risk of developing heart disease and her ability to access timely and appropriate care. By understanding intersectionality\, researchers and healthcare professionals can develop more targeted and effective strategies to prevent and manage heart disease in women\, ultimately working towards health equity for all individuals regardless of their social identities or circumstances.  \n1:05 – 1:20 p.m.: Q&A Panel Discussion  \n1:20 – 2:00 p.m.: Roundtable Discussions and Report Outs  \nAttendees will have the opportunity to idea storm how they can contribute to their roles and expertise to the interdisciplinary needs of the women’s health ecosystem\, as well as the challenges and successes they have experienced in their efforts to move research and policy into practice. Highlights from the small group discussions will be shared with the room.   \n2:00 – 2:05 p.m.: Closing Remarks  \n  \nRegister \nThe OSSD 2024 Annual Meeting is taking place in Bergen\, Norway this May. Find more information about the OSSD 2024 Annual Meeting here.  \n  \nThe SWHR Pre-Conference Symposium is one of two events SWHR is hosting during the OSSD Meeting. Check out the other event\, on May 6\, “SWHR Emerging Scholars in Women’s Health Research Award  Symposium.”

SUMMARY:Future Directions in Menopause Research: Optimizing Midlife Health of Women Roundtable
DESCRIPTION:“The Future Directions in Menopause Research: Optimizing Midlife Health of Women Roundtable” is the launch event for NIH’s Women’s Health Roundtable Series on important women’s health topics as part of the White House Women’s Health Research Initiative. This series was developed as a recommended action in response to the Presidential Memorandum to bring attention to priority topics within the Department of Health and Human Services and disseminate information on federally supported research areas. The roundtable series will be led by NIH institute\, center\, and office leadership and will engage the research community and the public to bring greater awareness to female-specific health conditions (e.g.\, menopause and endometriosis)\, as well as diseases and conditions that predominantly affect women (e.g.\, autoimmune diseases)\, and present or progress differently in women (e.g.\, heart disease\, Alzheimer’s disease\, etc.). \nThis launch event will be hosted by the NIH Office of Research on Women’s Health (ORWH) and the Office of Disease Prevention (ODP). This roundtable aims to inform and spark dialogue around the science on menopause and highlight NIH-supported work in the menopausal research domain. It also furthers initiatives outlined within the Executive Order on Advancing Women’s Health Research and Innovation to identify and explore gaps in women’s health and diseases and conditions that arise during women’s midlife and later years. \nPlease join to hear remarks from ORWH Director Janine Austin Clayton\, M.D.\, FARVO; NIH Director Monica M. Bertagnolli\, M.D.; and ODP Director David M. Murray\, Ph.D. Following these remarks will be a panel discussion on how NIH and the extramural community can galvanize research and charter new paths to address unanswered questions on women’s midlife health. \nRegister

SUMMARY:Osteoporosis: A Perspective for 2024
DESCRIPTION:In observance of National Women’s Health Week (NWHW) 2024 and National Osteoporosis Awareness and Prevention month\, the FDA Office of Women’s Health (OWH)\, will host a free virtual public webinar titled: Osteoporosis: A perspective for 2024 presented by Marcella Donovan Walker\, MD\, MS. \nStrong bones are essential to health and quality of life. Osteoporosis and fragility fractures are common and can be debilitating but there are steps that can be taken to help reduce the risk. Because osteoporosis is asymptomatic until the first clinical fracture\, many women do not realize they are at risk. This lecture will summarize the current approach to assessing bone health\, as well as preventing and treating osteoporosis with a focus on postmenopausal women. \nThe webinar offers continuing education (CME/CNE/CPE) credits and will be held virtually on the Zoom platform. Registrants will receive a link to attend the webinar after completing their registration. Live closed captioning will be available during the webinar. If you require additional accommodations\, please request them when completing your registration. \nA video recording of this webinar will be available on the OWH website a few weeks after the webinar ends. \nFor questions about this event please email OWHmeetings@fda.hhs.gov. \nRegister
