The year 2010 marked the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the ORWH, which is the focal point for women's health research at the NIH. The NIH is the nation's biomedical research institution, dedicated to turning discovery into health. The 27 NIH Institutes and Centers (ICs) support research, through your tax dollars, in more than 3,000 institutions, in all 50 states (including yours), in the U.S. territories and in other countries around the world. Research helps to expand what is known about how to stay health as well as about the causes of diseases including understanding how women are affectd or may respond to treatments differently from men.
