SUMMARY:Advancing Sex Differences Science in a Changing Advocacy Environment
DESCRIPTION:This event is taking place on Monday\, May 11 from 2:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. HST\, live at the Organization for the Study of Sex Differences (OSSD) 2026 Annual Meeting. Find more information about the OSSD 2026 Annual Meeting here. \nThe Society for Women’s Health Research (SWHR) is committed to advancing women’s health through science\, policy\, and education while promoting research on sex differences to optimize women’s health. As the health policy and research landscape continues to evolve\, advocacy for sex differences science has never been more important or more complex. While awareness of sex differences in health has grown\, significant gaps remain in research funding\, clinical translation\, policy prioritization\, and public understanding as it relates to women’s health. At the same time\, shifting federal priorities\, changing reimbursement environments\, and increased pressure on health systems require advocates to be more strategic\, coordinated\, and outcomes focused. \nThis session will explore how the study of sex differences can strengthen and modernize its advocacy approach to ensure that women’s health is advanced through research findings and better health outcomes. This presentation will provide a broader framework for effective advocacy in today’s environment\, grounded in science\, responsive to policy realities\, and centered on patient impact. \nUsing brain health as a key case example\, including conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease\, migraine\, and mental health\, speakers will illustrate how sex differences shape disease risk\, symptom presentation\, diagnosis\, and treatment across the lifespan. Brain health offers a powerful lens because it highlights longstanding research gaps\, the burden of delayed diagnosis\, caregiving implications\, and the urgent need for more sex-specific evidence and policy solutions. \nThe session will also explore how effective communications can strengthen advocacy by translating complex science into clear\, compelling messages for policymakers\, clinicians\, patients\, and the public. Together\, speakers will share practical approaches to coalition building\, public engagement\, and strategic storytelling that can help accelerate progress and advance a more coordinated future for sex differences research and women’s health advocacy. \nExplore The OSSD 2026 Program

SUMMARY:Black Perinatal Mental Health Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Black birthing people experience significantly higher rates of maternal mortality and maternal mental health challenges compared to their white counterparts.

SUMMARY:WHAM Virtual Roundtable Series – Cancer: Rising Risk\, Missed Signals\, and the Path Forward
DESCRIPTION:Cancer trends are shifting—and women are increasingly at the center. \nCancer incidence rates in women under 50 are now 82% higher than in men—up from 51% in 2002. Lung cancer is rising among women\, and nearly 10% of all new breast cancer cases in the U.S. occur in women younger than 45. \nMuch of this comes down to one critical issue: early detection. \nJoin leading experts as they explore what we know now\, how sex-based biology is shaping cancer insights\, where gaps in screening and missed signals are influencing outcomes\, and what it will take to drive earlier\, more accurate detection. \nLearn More

SUMMARY:Emerging Topics in Women’s Health: Cardiovascular Health through Every Life Stage
DESCRIPTION:VCU Health of Women Conference 2026 SWHR Pre-conference Symposium\n \nThe Society for Women’s Health Research (SWHR) is committed to making women’s health mainstream by promoting research on biological sex differences and increasing awareness of health conditions and diseases that disproportionately\, differently\, or exclusively affect women. In the United States\, over 60 million women are living with some form of heart disease and one in five women die of cardiovascular disease each year. Heart health varies significantly across different populations of women and across women’s lifespans. While heart disease can lead to disability\, lower quality of life\, and significant economic costs for women\, up to 70% of heart health cases and deaths are attributed to modifiable risk factors.  Despite the burden of heart disease on women\, there are steps that can be taken by providers\, patients\, and policymakers to improve women’s heart health outcomes. \nThis symposium discusses heart health across women’s lifespans\, with special emphasis on pregnancy and maternal health\, midlife and the menopause transition\, and aging populations. Panelists present strategies as to how research\, clinical\, and policy stakeholders can collaborate to address persistent research gaps\, disparities\, and unmet needs in women’s heart health. Attendees engage in Q&A with the panel to discuss approaches to improve heart health outcomes for women across their lifespans. \nSeparate registration is required for this complimentary session. No CME or CEU credit offered. \nThis virtual event is part of the in-person VCU Health of Women 2026 Conference. \nThis is an SWHR Event.
