## Discovery Resource for Women’s Health Research Now Available

Partnering with the National Library of Medicine (NLM), the Office of Research on Women's Health (ORWH) launched the first phase of a novel discovery resource for women’s health research (WHR), called DiscoverWHR.

DiscoverWHR is a centralized resource for women’s health research and information from NIH that supports NIH-wide efforts to close the gaps in women’s health across the life course.

This innovative resource simplifies the finding women’s health information by patients, caregivers, medical professionals, researchers, and the public.

Users can explore the following research areas:

- Menopause
- Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
- Autoimmune diseases
- Lupus
- Rheumatoid Arthritis
- Scleroderma
