Fact Sheet: Women's Health Research at VA (March 2012)

Category: Health Care

VA's Office of Research and Development (ORD) put forth a comprehensive research agenda on women's health in 2004 that spanned biomedical/laboratory, clinical sciences, rehabilitation, and health services research, which led to a growing VA research portfolio.  To further accelerate this research agenda and the impact of research on VA care for women veterans, ORD's Health Services
Research and Development Service (HSR&D ) funded the VA Women's Health Research Network with a mission to provide technical consultation, education/training, and mentorship support to augment the efforts of a now substantial group of VA researchers focused on women veterans' health.

Among the many accomplishments of the VA's Women's Health Research Network was publication of a special supplement to the Women's Health Issues journal.  All articles are accessible regardless of subscription status and can be found at:  www.whijournal.com/content/supplements
