Women drive economies.

Yet research on diseases and conditions that disproportionately or differently impact women is underfunded, hurting women’s health and keeping billions of dollars out of our economy.

Investing $350 million into women’s health research yields a $14 billion return on investment for the economy.

At WHAM, we’re raising awareness on the need for more women’s health research funding & the returns on that investment.

Women are underrepresented in clinical trials, which limits the research on diseases that disproportionately impact women like cardiovascular disease.

Investing in women's health research will generate millions for the economy, improve quality of life & strengthen our workforce.

When women are not properly represented in health research, it can cost the economy billions of dollars.

Funding women's health research is not only good science, it's a great investment for the economy.

Increasing awareness and funding for women's health research is a key step to ensuring women have access to better medical treatment for diseases that exclusively impact them like cardiovascular and Alzheimer's diseases.

Women’s health research isn’t just good science, it’s a good investment. Yet research funding for diseases and conditions that exclusively, differently, or disproportionately impact women is far from where it needs to be.

It’s long past time for that to change.
