Women’s health research is underfunded in both the private and public sectors. A recent reportfrom The National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine found that about 9 percent of the National Institutes of Health’s (NIH) research spending between 2013 and 2023 went to women’s health research.
The report also found that NIH grant funding has increased overall since 2013 in funds spent and projects funded. But the agency’s funding for women’s health research shrank every year between 2013 and 2023.
