Opportunities in Women’s Health: A Fireside Chat Congressional Briefing with ORWH Director Clayton

With the November 2023 announcement about the White House Initiative on Women’s Health Research, there is a renewed buzz around the opportunities to advance the health of women across the lifespan. During this exclusive conversation with Janine Clayton, MD, FARVO, Associate Director for Research on Women’s Health and Director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Research on Women’s Health (ORWH), Dr. Clayton provides her insights into the current challenges and opportunities within women’s health. This event also tees up Women’s Health Research Day, which occurs annually on January 25. Women’s Health Research Day marks the implementation of the NIH Sex as a Biological Variable Policy, which outlines NIH’s expectation that sex as a biological variable will be factored into research designs, analyses, and reporting. During this event, the Friends of ORWH ask Dr. Clayton how we can better integrate SABV across the U.S. research enterprise.

This event is hosted by the Friends of the Office of Research on Women’s Health (FORWH).
