Women's Health

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the U.S. National Institutes of Health initiated an inclusive, consultative, cross-sector effort to generate a Women’s Health Innovation Opportunity Map 2023 as a collaborative framework to advance women’s health innovation. The Opportunity Map was created by the Innovation Equity Forum (IEF). The aim of the IEF was to bring a broad range of multidisciplinary expertise from various levels and sectors of the biomedical enterprise to provide diverse viewpoints in order to develop an inclusive, globally-focused, and widely accepted Opportunity Map of topics in women’s health R&D. The Women’s Health Innovation team at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is looking for innovations and ideas that address opportunities outlined in the Opportunity Map.
