Building upon the legacy of the previous two National Institutes of Health (NIH) women's health research agenda-setting reports,(1) (,) (2) the Office of Research on Women's Health (ORWH) released the third NIH scientific agenda for women's health and sex differences research in September 2010, entitled Moving Into The Future With New Dimensions and Strategies: A Vision for 2020 For Women's Health Research.(3) Within NIH, ORWH is part of the Division of Program Coordination, Planning, and Strategic Initiatives, residing in the Office of the Director; ORWH is charged with coordinating women's health research in collaboration with the 27 Institutes and Centers (ICs) that make up NIH, each of which has a distinct mission and identity. Of note, the 2010 research agenda, or strategic plan, is the women's health research agenda for NIH overall, cutting across the missions of all the ICs. As such, it serves as a map to guide new efforts as well as continue collaborations within NIH in order to fulfill the NIH mission to seek fundamental knowledge about the nature and behavior of living systems and to apply that knowledge to enhance health, lengthen life, and reduce illness and disability. Through the framework of the strategic plan, in partnership with the NIH ICs, the Office of the Director, and the Advisory Committees (Figure 1), ORWH leads efforts to meet this mission as it relates to women's health.
基于前两份美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）女性健康研究议程设定报告的成果，女性健康研究办公室（ORWH）于2010年9月发布了第三份NIH女性健康与性别差异研究科学议程，题为《以新维度和策略迈向未来：2020年女性健康研究愿景》。在NIH内部，ORWH是计划协调、规划与战略倡议司的一部分，隶属于院长办公室；ORWH负责与组成NIH的27个研究所和中心（IC）合作协调女性健康研究，每个研究所和中心都有独特的使命和身份。值得注意的是，2010年的研究议程或战略计划是NIH整体的女性健康研究议程，跨越了所有IC的使命。因此，它作为一份指南，指导新的工作，并继续NIH内部的合作，以实现NIH寻求关于生命系统本质和行为的基础知识，并应用这些知识来增进健康、延长寿命以及减少疾病和残疾的使命。通过战略计划的框架，与NIH的IC、院长办公室和咨询委员会合作（图1），ORWH领导各项工作以实现与女性健康相关的这一使命。
