The research so far
2/3 of heart disease and stroke clinical research has focused on men.
Together, we’re changing that.
DonateWe’ll close the research gap by:
;
Adding more funders
Increasing the number of funders supporting research will mean more dollars invested in women’s heart and brain health research.
;
Demanding analysis
Together we need to routinely require sex- and gender-based analysis and reporting for all research published in journals.
;
Prioritizing sex and gender
All research funders need to make considerations of sex and gender a key requirement — along with other factors that impact care and outcomes, including Indigeneity, race, ability, sexual orientation, education, income and geography.
