Message from the Director
The Office of Women’s Health has exciting activities planned for 2016. We started the year by releasing the Women’s Health Research Roadmap that will help enhance the vital research being done at FDA. Later this month, we will launch the Diverse Women in Clinical Trials initiative as we continue to support FDA’s Action Plan to Enhance the Collection and Availability of Demographic Subgroup Data. I encourage you to join us for the social media rally to kickoff this new initiative. I also hope you will continue to look to us in 2016 as we launch new research and outreach activities to advance women's health.

Developed through cross-agency collaboration, the Roadmap outlines seven priority areas for new or enhanced research including biomarkers, clinical trials design, nanotechnology, cardiovascular disease, and postmarket surveillance.
