ABOUT THE AWARD
The NIH ORWH Science Policy Scholar Travel Awards will support the development of two junior investigators who are
focused on women’s health or sex and gender differences and are also interested in research policy by helping to defray
the cost of attending the Organization for the Study of Sex Differences’ (OSSD) annual meeting on May 4–7, 2020, in
Marina del Rey, CA. ORWH requests that interested investigators submit an abstract on a policy-related matter
connected to women’s health or sex and gender differences for consideration as a poster, oral session, or symposium at
the OSSD 2020 Annual Meeting. A panel of experts will review the abstracts, and the authors of the two chosen will
receive the travel awards. Attendance at the OSSD meeting will be a unique opportunity for investigators to network
with leading scientists and clinicians working to advance sex and gender inclusion and policy.

AWARD AMOUNT
Two ORWH awards of up to $3,000 will be available to support the travel of the selected NIH ORWH Science Policy
Scholars, whose OSSD abstracts on women’s health or sex and gender differences policy will have been accepted for a
poster, oral session, or symposium at the OSSD 2020 Annual Meeting.
