Background
ORWH is in the process of exploring new dimensions and strategies for women’s health and sex/gender research priorities for the NIH in
the coming years. Such efforts include a renewed emphasis on normal processes, developmental biology, and aging in women, reflection
upon the potential application of new technologies, emerging diseases and conditions that may affect women’s health or affect women
differently, and integration of cutting edge diagnostic and therapeutic strategies into health care delivery, among other perspectives.
Request for Public Testimony on Women's Health
The Office of Research on Women’s Health invites individuals representing organizations with an interest in research areas related to
women’s health to provide written and/or oral testimony on these topics and/or on issues related to the sustained advancement of women in
biomedical careers at a public hearing to be held on October 14, 2009 starting at 2:00 p.m. at the Northwestern University in Chicago.
It is critical to ensure that future priorities for women’s health research anticipate new dimensions of research and health and
incorporate innovative and successful strategies.
Oral Testimony
Those wishing to present oral testimony are asked to submit a written form of their testimony that is limited to a maximum of 10 pages,
double spaced, 12 point font, and should include a brief description of the organization. Please submit your testimony on this web page.
Because of time constraints for oral testimony, testifiers may not be able to present the complete information as it is contained in their
written form submitted for inclusion in the public record for the meeting. Therefore, testifiers are requested to summarize the major points of
emphasis from the written testimony not to exceed 7 minutes of oral testimony. Those individuals and/or organizations who have indicated that
they will present oral testimony at the meeting in San Francisco, will be notified prior to the meeting regarding the approximate time for their
oral presentation.
