The response to our #SprintForWomensHealth shows that innovation in women’s health knows no boundaries. We witnessed a worldwide response to this call to action! Now with these awardees, we are sprinting towards changing the lives of millions of women who have been left behind in research for far too long. It’s not just the great science we're pursuing, but a different way of doing business in the government. https://lnkd.in/eH9Vk-BR

We’ve completed research among women aged 50 and older in Ireland to understand the reasons why some women may not take part in #cervicalscreening. Mairead O'Connor, PhD talks us through it: https://lnkd.in/edyhek6b #CervicalCancerPreventionWeek  #CervicalCheck #ChooseScreening Health Research Board (HRB)

May is Women's Health Month, and we're excited about the strides being made toward prioritizing and innovating in the women's health space. Developments in the US include the launch of The White House Initiative on Women's Health Research and The Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) Sprint for Women's Health. This initiative presents a significant funding opportunity of $100 million, signaling a substantial investment in women's health research. In the UK, The National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) launched a £50 million ‘Challenge’ funding call to address inequalities in maternity disparities, aligning with the UK government's Women's Health Strategy. This move to tackle inequalities and focus on under-researched women's health issues is a meaningful step forward. Moreover, a recent McKinsey report highlights the potential of women's health investments to boost the global economy by $1 trillion annually by 2040. This underscores the vast opportunities in women's health, not just for improving health outcomes but also for economic growth. Let's continue to push for more investments in women's health, fostering health equity and inclusivity along the way.

Join us for an upcoming webinar on Sept. 5, 2 to 3:15 p.m. ET, focusing on Research on Women's Health in Primary Care. It will highlight the important role of #PrimaryCare in women's health, featuring three #AHRQ-funded researchers who are researching women's health issues. The webinar, sponsored by AHRQ's National Center for Excellence in Primary Care Research, aligns with the White House Initiative on Women's Health Research, which aims to fill research gaps about women's health across the lifespan. https://lnkd.in/eCf3ecmg

Addressing the significant unmet health needs of women remains a social and economic imperative. Earlier this week at #JPM2025, I joined Elizabeth Comen, MD, Reshema Kemps-Polanco, and Jannine Versi on a panel to discuss the innovations, ecosystem, and collective action needed to advance the health of women. Thank you to Lucy Perez and Anne Conlin Koffel for giving us another platform to highlight how Organon is playing a convening role in filling the long-standing gaps in women’s health innovation. By working across the ecosystem, we can all bring forward options that treat conditions impacting women uniquely, differently, or disproportionately. #hereforherhealth  

Empowering women's health requires understanding their unique needs—a mission that starts with inclusive research. Harmonia Healthcare is working to close the gender gaps in healthcare, advocating for clinical trials that reflect both male and female perspectives. Let’s elevate women’s health together by advancing research that listens. Discover more in our latest blog: https://bit.ly/3AaOPjk #WomensHealth #ClinicalTrials #HealthcareInnovation
