Bench-to-Bedside and Back Program (BtB)

Office of Research on Women's Health (ORWH)

Office of Research on Women’s Health (Support from the Office of Research on Women’s Health (ORWH)): Applications seeking funding from ORWH should focus on efforts to improve the health of women through biomedical and behavioral research, and ensure that the proposed work is aligned with at least one goal and objective outlined in the NIH-Wide Strategic Plan for Research on the Health of Women 2024-2028 (https://www.nih.gov/women/strategicplan). Broadly defined, women’s health includes female specific conditions (e.g., endometriosis, gynecologic cancers, menopause), conditions that disproportionately affect women (e.g., mental health conditions, migraine), and conditions that present and progress differently in women (e.g., cardiovascular disease, HIV). The influence of sex as a biological variable on health and disease is of particular interest. The Office of Autoimmune Disease Research in the Office of Research on Women’s Health (OADR-ORWH) is seeking applications to support bench-to-bedside research in autoimmune disease. The portfolio of the Office of Autoimmune Disease research encompasses more than 140 diseases and conditions and encompasses basic and translational science and is seeking applications that focus on either autoimmune aspects of the specific disease or diseases being studied, and/or autoimmunity pathogenesis in more general terms. This may include studies investigating basic immunology, gene expression, pathophysiology, diagnostic imaging, environmental exposures, biomarkers, sex influences, co-occurring autoimmune diseases, mechanistic pathways as therapeutic targets, animal models, systems biology, health outcomes research, symptom science, and translational research as they related to autoimmune disease and conditions.
