How Medical Grant Cuts Could Impact Women’s Health Research

June 22, 2025

About 30 years ago, Congress mandated the inclusion of women and minorities in federally funded clinical trials with the passage of the National Institutes of Health Revitalization Act. Before then, women were largely left out of federally funded medical research, creating a critical gap in the understanding of how diseases and treatments affect women differently. Now, that work is at risk with the Trump administration planning to cut more than 1,700 medical research grants. Correspondent Dina Demetrius meets two female scientists who have dedicated their careers to women’s health research, to learn how uncertainty over funding could impact their work.
