WHAM works with advocates, economists, scientists, business leaders, public health experts and policy makers to: Increase funding for women’s health research, empower women researchers to study and share sex and gender research, and build a data-driven case for accelerating women’s health research.
We know today that almost every disease affects women differently than it does men, because we know that every cell in the body has a sex. Yet we still don’t prioritize and invest in research that focuses on women or even includes women in sufficient numbers.
The WHAM Collaborative is a group of leading scientists focused on women’s health research who help inform everything WHAM does.
The WHAM Report is a series of studies that examine the impact of accelerating sex and gender–based health research on women, their families, and the economy. WHAM commissioned the RAND Corporation to study these impacts for: rheumatoid arthritis (autoimmune), coronary artery disease (heart) and Alzheimer’s disease (brain).
