NIH Discovery Portal for Women’s Health Research Now Available

Posted by on September 25th, 2024 Posted in: Blog


Partnering with the National Library of Medicine (NLM), the NIH 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 the finding of women’s health information by patients, caregivers, medical professionals, researchers, and the public.

Users can explore the following research areas:

  • Menopause
  • Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
  • Autoimmune diseases
  • Lupus
  • Rheumatoid Arthritis
  • 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.

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. Try out this new resource and submit your feedback (via the blue “Give Feedback” button on the right-hand side of the page)!
