Regarding NOT-OD-25-131  NOT-OD-25-131: Revision: NIH Policy and Guidelines on the Inclusion of Women and Minorities as Subjects in Clinical Research

What is your interpretation of how this affects current awards and subawards?  Will all language referencing gender need to be changed to sex?  I imagine this isn't just a "word" change - this impacts the way the research is done and how data is collected and reported.  What about subawards?  Will you be forwarding this and asking subawards to update their project?
