Background and Discussion:
Although women are disproportionately affected by health conditions including osteoporosis, depression, and autoimmune diseases, women's health research has remained underfunded for decades. Women continue to be underrepresented in basic science and clinical trials, ensuring that conditions that mostly affect women, or affect women differently, have received little to no attention.
To address these challenges, President Biden recently announced the most comprehensive set of executive actions ever taken to expand and improve research on women's health in his March 18, 2024 Executive Order.
