The federal government's investment in research related to sex/gender differences in health and disease has resulted in better understanding of the health of women and men and holds promise for improved health. By working together, advocates for women's health and the scientific community have expanded the focus of women's health research and created new opportunities in science. The Office of Research on Women's Health has assessed and identified progress and needs in women's health in its Agenda for Research on Women's Health for the 21st Century and will continue to collaborate with the advocacy and scientific communities to keep women's health research a high national priority that is responsive to changing public health needs.
