President Biden Expands Women's Health Research

His executive order adds $200 million for sexual, reproductive issues

On Monday, President Joe Biden signed a new executive order that expands U.S. government research on women's health, while pledging $200 million next year to better understand issues, including sexual and reproductive conditions.

Biden is also ordering his administration to report on progress they are making to erase gender gaps in research and to study how to use artificial intelligence to improve women's health research, according to a White House summary of the order.

"I'm going to make sure women's health is prioritized across the government," Biden told a room full of women, including actress Halle Berry and former California First Lady Maria Shriver at the White House.
