Burke00aOverview of the National Institutes of Health Investment in Women’s Health Research  uhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK612400/3 aThis chapter describes how the National Institutes of Health (NIH) tracks funding and undertakes portfolio analysis; it then presents the committee’s assessment of NIH funding for women’s health research (WHR). Because women’s health includes diseases and conditions that are sex specific or affect women and men differently or disproportionally, the task of measuring the state of NIH funding for research on the health of women, the nature of the gaps, and establishing a standard for allocation each present challenges.
