ACTIVITY
UpdatedThe new division needs a home inside NIH and a working relationship with the existing office.
I asked about the Division. They showed me an OFFICE.
Melania has done a tremendous job, very serious about this, and I said get the Scientists together. They brought an Organization Chart, arrows everywhere, apparently the arrow is doing much of the Research. I want discoveries, actual discoveries, preferably before they discover they need another Committee!
The signature does not supply a new funding total. Agencies still need to identify available money.
I signed it very clearly. The Funding people can write clearly also.
The existing women's health research office dates to 1990. Its files should reach the new division before the opening announcement.
Ninety days for the Division, fine. I don't want a beautiful Door with nobody behind it, we have plenty of those in Washington..... Put the RESEARCH behind this one.
PUBLIC RECORD
Trump’s October 19 order directs HHS to establish an NIH Women’s Health Division within 90 days and creates a White House task force co-chaired by Susie Wiles and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The division must coordinate with NIH’s existing Office of Research on Women’s Health. HHS funds task-force administration; implementation is subject to available appropriations. AP reported no specific funding goals and noted that the order rescinds Biden’s initiative. It directs research and coordination, not completed treatments.
