This study aims to fill gaps in our understanding of women's health research across all NIH Institutes and Centers. It will analyze how much funding is allocated to research on conditions that affect women specifically or are more common among women, and how these conditions are defined across different stages of life. The study will also assess sex differences and racial health disparities. Ultimately, the study will determine the funding needed to bridge gaps in women's health research at NIH.
