WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration on Monday announced a White House initiative to improve how the federal government approaches and funds research into the health of women, who make up more than half of the U.S. population but remain understudied and underrepresented in health research.
The White House Initiative on Women's Health Research will be led by first lady Jill Biden and the White House Gender Policy Council.
Bertagnolli gave a broad answer in which she said far too little is known about women's health through all stages of life.
Biden's memorandum directs members to report back within 45 days with “concrete recommendations" to improve the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of women's health issues.
Mazure joined the first lady's office from the Yale School of Medicine, where she created its Women's Health Research Center.
