health of women as they relate to FDA's mission.</li> <li>Engage with other federal agencies, industry, professional associations and advocacy groups with regards to the health of women.</li> </ul> <p>OWH achieves its mission through the foundational principle that Sex as a Biological Variable (SABV) should be factored into research design, analysis, reporting and education. To this end, OWH supports FDA鈥檚 regulatory mission by engaging in scientific research and collaborating with stakeholders to engage in scientific and educational projects.
