Janine Austin Clayton, MD was interviewed this morning on NPR about changes in NIH research funding protocol for pre clinical research.

From the link: "This investment enables NIH-funded investigators across virtually all scientific areas to add a sex/gender lens to their currently funded research projects."

I can't find the NPR interview that aired today, I'd appreciate anyone who can post it.

Thanks Moderator..

I hope this NIH change adds to a fuller understanding of MS and results in more effective treatments for everyone with MS.

I am glad to see that this group of MS advocates are laser focused on the decision makers and the decisions that they make. Thanks for your vigilance.
