The Intersection of Sex and Gender Influences on Health and Disease (R01 Clinical Trial Optional)

This information pertains to a grant opportunity titled "Intersection of Sex and Gender Influences on Health and Disease" (R01 Clinical Trial Optional). The purpose of the grant is essentially to invite applications for research on the impact and conjunction of sex and gender aspects on health and disease. This includes two main areas: firstly, projects that focus on sex and gender factors and the ways they intersect in our understanding of health and disease, and secondly, research specifically aimed at addressing one goal from a total of five objectives listed under Strategic Goal 1 of the 2019-2023 Trans-NIH Strategic Plan for Women's Health Research, titled "Advancing Science for the Health of Women."

Funding for awards granted through this opportunity is provided by NIH ICs using funds from the Office of Research on Women's Health (ORWH), in partnership with various scientific Institutes and Centers across NIH. The idea is to further knowledge and initiatives in the realm of women's health by investigating the intersection of sex and gender in health and disease.
