The federal government must support research that addresses the unique health needs of women across the lifespan. SWHR recommends continued robust funding for major federal agencies that support women’s health research.
Research must take into account sex as a biological variable (SABV) in order to better understand its impact on health and disease. SWHR supports studying, analyzing, and reporting on SABV as standard practice across all research.
In line with our mission to ensure women’s participation in biomedical research, SWHR strongly supports appropriate inclusion of pregnant women and lactating women in clinical research.
