Marking the 30th anniversary of the establishment of the FDA Office of Women’s Health (OWH), FDA commissioner **Robert Califf** and associate commissioner for women’s health **Kaveeta Vasisht** write in an online [post](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.fda.gov/news-events/fda-voices/protecting-and-advancing-health-women-through-policy-research-education-and-outreach&ved=2ahUKEwiW0eOA9Y-GAxWMK1kFHZrdAtQQFnoECCUQAQ&usg=AOvVaw2b5wUguIrE-qsruJ1qEMKM) that OWH has been “at the forefront of ensuring that the unique health needs of women are prioritized through a multifaceted approach that encompasses policy, research, education, and outreach.” In a discussion of those four approaches, Califf and Vasisht cover:

- agency funding for over 450 research projects;
- promotion of diversity and inclusion of women in clinical trials;
- agency championing of better health outcomes on conditions that disproportionately, differently, or uniquely affect women;
- support for the OWH Research Fellowship Program that promotes research collaborations among FDA experts, research fellows, and OWH to address critical regulatory science knowledge gaps;
- free public educational opportunities on women’s health and FDA-regulated products; and
- the Knowledge and News on Women’s Health initiative that leverages high-impact messaging to deliver information on important health topics to educate women on their risk of disease and complications and how to prevent and manage health conditions.
