The Advisory Committee on Research on Women’s Health (ACRWH) was congressionally mandated by the NIH Revitalization Act of 1993 as a mechanism for eliciting advice and recommendations on priority issues affecting women’s health and sex differences research. In this role, the ACRWH advises the ORWH director on appropriate NIH research activities on women’s health; reviews the women’s health research portfolio for NIH; surveys goals for scientific career development; and assesses inclusion of women and minorities in NIH clinical research. ACRWH members are selected from among physicians, practitioners, scientists, and other health professionals who are not federal employees.
