Who We Are
The Jacobs Institute of Women’s Health is based at the Milken Institute School of Public Health at George Washington University and publishes the peer-reviewed journal Women's Health Issues. Our mission is to identify and study aspects of healthcare and public health, including legal and policy issues, that affect women’s health at different life stages; to foster awareness of and facilitate dialogue around issues that affect women’s health; and to promote interdisciplinary research, coordination, and information dissemination.

We work to educate lawmakers about legislation that can help ensure the federal government produces and uses scientific evidence appropriately.
We collaborate with other organizations to promote science-based policymaking across the federal government.
We comment on proposed actions by federal agencies that have implications for scientific integrity and women's health.
