Interdisciplinary Research

With increasing understanding of the inter-relatedness and complexity of disease, the nature of scientific investigation is shifting to a multi-disciplinary collaborative approach. Advances in women's health can be better achieved by promoting partnerships in cross-disciplinary research.

This includes

• Basic
• Clinical
• Translational

Collaborations among researchers in academia, private industry, and federal settings, could provide access to the latest scientific tools and technologies for women's health research.

Examples of ORWH Interdisciplinary Research

• Specialized Centers of Research on Sex and Gender Factors Affecting Women's Health (SCORs)
