Dear Chairs DeLauro and Murray and Ranking Members Cole and Blunt:
"The undersigned members, as Friends of the Office of Research on Women’s Health (ORWH), request that you provide a program level of at least $49 billion for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and at least $62.5 million for the NIH’s ORWH in fiscal year (FY) 2023 appropriations legislation. These increases would allow for meaningful growth across NIH and would expand ORWH’s capacity to carry out its mission of strengthening research into conditions that differently, disproportionately, or solely affect women; advising on matters related to women’s health research; and supporting the advancement of women in the biomedical research workforce."
