The Society for Women’s Health Research (SWHR) is a national nonprofit and thought leader advancing women’s health through science, policy, and education while promoting research on sex differences to optimize women’s health. Founded in 1990, SWHR is making women’s health mainstream by addressing unmet needs and research gaps in women’s health. The success of SWHR’s science and policy programs is grounded in our ability to convene and leverage the knowledge of our interdisciplinary networks – diverse groups of researchers, clinicians, patient advocates, policy professionals, and other health care leaders with expertise related to specific diseases, conditions, or health topics that either exclusively, differently, or disproportionately affect women. Thanks to SWHR’s efforts, women are now routinely included in most major medical research studies in the United States and more scientists are considering sex as a biological variable in their research.
