The FDA Office of Women’s Health (OWH) awards research grants for studies to support FDA regulatory decision-making, to evaluate the impact of sex differences on product safety and efficacy, and to advance the science of women’s health.
The research conducted by OWH-funded investigators helps inform safety, efficacy, quality, and performance of the products FDA regulates. Research conducted by FDA scientists and external investigators also contributes to advances in science and technology in general and promotes innovation in medical product development and food and cosmetic safety.
OWH has funded research projects that address health topics affecting women including cardiovascular disease, bioinformatics, cancer, device safety, pregnancy/reproductive health, sex differences, and women in clinical trials.
