the following resolution2 which was

,education1 ,labor1 and ,pensions       
,,resolution  ,expressing support for   
the designation of a ,women's ,health   
,research ,day4  ,whereas women         
constitute #ej4h percent of people in   
the ,united ,states2 ,whereas women of  
different races1 ethnicities1 ages1 and 
socioeconomic status experience many    
diseases and disorders differently than 
men experience those diseases and       

disorders2 ,whereas those different     
experiences are reflected in the        
incidence1 prevalence1 symptomology1 and
 severity of the disease or disorder2   
,whereas the risks and benefits of      
medical therapies vary based on the     
race1 ethnicity1 age1 and socioeconomic 
status of a woman2 ,whereas women and   
men have fundamental biological         
differences2 ,whereas1 for many years1  
women of different races1 ethnicities1  
ages1 and socioeconomic status were     
underrepresented in biomedical and      
clinical research2 ,whereas the         
improvement of the health of women      
relies on sex- and gender-based         
biomedical and clinical research2       
,whereas the promise of individualized  
medicine cannot be realized without sex-
 and gender-based parity in research2   
,whereas1 on ,january #be1 #bjaf1 the   
,national ,institutes of ,health        
implemented a policy requiring federally
 funded investigators to consider sex as
 a biological variable in preclinical   

research2 and ,whereas that policy      
ushered in a new era of inclusivity and 
parity in research relating to the      
health of women3 ,now1 therefore1 be it 
that the ,senate-- 7#a7 expresses       
support for the designation of a        
,women's ,health ,research ,day2 and    
7#b7 supports efforts-- 7,a7 to         
recognize the importance of biomedical  
and clinical research to the health and 
well-being of women2  7,b7 to increase  
awareness of the value of sex- and      
gender-based biomedical research2 and   
7,c7 to encourage individuals1 including
 researchers and patients1 to advocate  
on behalf of sex- and gender-inclusive  
research for women of different races1  
ethnicities1 ages1 and socioeconomic    
status4
