The funding, provided by the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H), falls under the Department of Health and Human Services. This initiative, announced late last year, aims to address the historical underfunding and lack of research in women's health.
During an event in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Biden introduced the ARPA-H Sprint for Women's Health, emphasizing the need to increase knowledge and resources for women's health. She highlighted the goal of creating a healthcare system centered on women's health experiences, ensuring that women receive comprehensive care and support for chronic conditions.
President Joe Biden established the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health in 2022 as part of his "unity agenda," focusing on advancing health solutions. The $100 million investment will support early-stage research projects and startups, striving to prioritize women's health and well-being as a fundamental aspect of healthcare.
