A major part of the ORWH mandate is to develop opportunities for and support for recruitment, retention, re-entry, and advancement of women in biomedical careers. In 1992, ORWH collaborated with the scientific, medical, and advocacy communities, Congress and other Government entities, and the public about NIH's career development programs related to women's health. This collaboration provided the impetus for the development of a wide variety of programs and strategies described below.
