TITLE OF INFORMATION COLLECTION: 2021 Annual Meeting

Specialized Centers of Research Excellence (SCORE) Annual Meeting Keynote Address

Specialized Centers of Research Excellence (SCORE) Annual Meeting Invite Only

PURPOSE:

The Specialized Centers of Research Excellence (SCORE) on Sex Differences program is a signature program of the Office of Research on Women’s Health (ORWH). Each SCORE program serves as a national resource for translational research, at multiple levels of analysis, to identify the role of biological sex differences on the health of women. These NIH-supported Centers of Excellence are vital hubs for research on sex and gender that also provide pilot funding, training, and education. SCORE investigators provide leadership in the development and promotion of standards and policies for the consideration of sex as a biological variable (SABV) and sex differences in biomedical research. Identifying the contributions of biological sex can assist in understanding the diversity of health outcomes and how this knowledge can be applied to the development of the next generation of interventions and medical treatments leading to improvements in women's health. The annual meeting brings together SCORE investigators to share findings and outcomes. The keynote address is open to the public while the rest of the daylong meeting is invite only (for SCORE PIs only).
