The U.S. National Institutes of Health, Office of Research on Women's Health (ORWH) released a revised agenda for the next generation of women’s health and sex/gender research in the United States – A Vision for 2020 for Women's Health Research: Moving into the Future With New Dimensions and Strategies. The agenda states that "a major goal of biomedical research is to create knowledge that will lead to more accurate strategies for diagnosis, and preventive and therapeutic interventions, thereby ushering in a new era of personalized medicine."The ORWH outlines that more work is needed to encourage research on safe and effective interventions for conditions affecting pregnant women; and research should be expanded on pregnancy-related conditions, including preeclampsia.
