Partnering with the National Library of Medicine (NLM), the Office of Research on Women's Health (ORWH) launched the first phase of a novel discovery resource for women’s health research (WHR), called DiscoverWHR . This innovative resource simplifies finding women's health information for patients, caregivers, medical professionals, researchers, and the public.
Users can explore the following research areas:
- Menopause
- Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
- Autoimmune diseases
o Lupus
o Rheumatoid Arthritis
o Scleroderma
The NIH-Wide Strategic Plan for Research on the Health of Women and feedback from NIH users will be used to identify future research areas.
The DiscoverWHR resource is a centralized resource for women’s health research and information that helps close the gaps in women’s health across the life course. A goal of the DiscoverWHR portal is to facilitate research discovery by sharing information on NIH-supported grants, intramural research, clinical trials, and literature on issues that uniquely, disproportionately, and/or differently affect women across their lifespan. ORWH and NLM will enhance DiscoverWHR with additional NIH-funded research topics and resources, as well as incorporate data science tools such as artificial intelligence. Over time, users will be able to quickly learn about NIH-funded research and information for specific women’s health-related topics.
