Biden Signs Executive Order to Boost Women’s Health Research

The order aims to address gender disparities in healthcare by expanding research across women's lifespans and establishing a White House initiative.

President Joe Biden signed an executive order to expand and improve women's health research, marking a significant step towards addressing gender disparities in healthcare.
The executive order aims to close existing research gaps across a woman's lifespan, including maternal health, mental health challenges, autoimmune diseases, and menopause.
The initiative will prioritize research innovation, strengthen research and data standards, and assess unmet funding needs for women's health research.
New research proposals will focus on emerging women's health issues, such as breast cancer, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and the impact of environmental factors.
The executive order also establishes the first-ever White House Initiative on Women’s Health Research, led by First Lady Jill Biden and the White House Gender Policy Council.
