H

NIH-Sponsored Women's Health Studies

The committee asked NIH to provide information about other studies of women's health within NIH. The following charts were developed from the documents provided by the various institutes.

Two charts were developed. The first contains those studies that are funded by more than one institute; the second includes those studies that are single-institute funded.

Those studies marked with an asterisk (*) do not necessarily focus on women, however NIH included them in the response regarding “Women 's Health Studies.” Abbreviations are as follows:

National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke

NIAMS

National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases

The National Institutes of Health Women's Health Initiative (WHI) is the largest research study ever funded by NIH ($625 million over 14 years) and is designed to test strategies to prevent cardiovascular disease, breast cancer, and osteoporotic fractures—leading causes of death, disability, and decreased quality of life for older women. Although the WHI has already begun, serious questions remain about its design, cost, and the likelihood that it can answer the questions it asks. This book evaluates whether the effort can be justified scientifically.
