This grant supports the establishment of a national network for women's health research in Norway. The goal is to enhance national coordination among research groups, optimize the use of health registries, biobanks, and infrastructure, and create collaborative arenas across public, private, and voluntary sectors. The network is expected to mobilize new research communities, including within the 'femtech' health industry, and leverage digital platforms like kvinnehelseportalen.no for dissemination and interaction. The initiative aims to strengthen dialogue, resource efficiency, and Norway's participation in national and international research projects related to women's health.
