Social Science & Medicine, 2012, vol. 74, issue 11, 1812-1816

Abstract: In this commentary, we reflect on the challenges of incorporating gender and sex into health research and funding and discuss some of the strategies we have employed in our efforts to overcome them. We write from our vantage point within Institute of Gender and Health, one of the 13 institutes that comprise the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, Canada’s national health research funding agency.
