**AWARDS ISSUED PRIOR TO JANUARY 20, 2025, WERE FUNDED UNDER PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATIONS AND MAY NOT REFLECT THE PRIORITIES AND POLICIES OF THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION.** THE PROPOSED PROJECT AIMS TO ADDRESS PERSISTENT GENDER AND SEX DISPARITIES IN HEALTHCARE AND HEALTH OUTCOMES IN THE UNITED STATES. DESPITE WOMEN CONSTITUTING OVER HALF OF THE POPULATION AND A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THE HEALTHCARE WORKFORCE, THEY CONTINUE TO FACE INEQUITIES IN CARE, UNDERREPRESENTATION IN HEALTH RESEARCH, AND HIGHER RATES OF MATERNAL MORBIDITY AND MORTALITY. THE PROJECT WILL CONVENE A 2-DAY SYMPOSIUM TO FOSTER INTERDISCIPLINARY COLLABORATION AMONG WOMEN'S HEALTH RESEARCHERS, CLINICIANS, AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS. THE SYMPOSIUM WILL CENTER THE VOICES OF HISTORICALLY MARGINALIZED WOMEN, INTEGRATING BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH WITH SOCIOLOGICAL FRAMEWORKS TO ADDRESS SYSTEMIC OPPRESSION IN HEALTHCARE. SESSIONS WILL FOCUS ON UNDERSTANDING BARRIERS TO RESEARCH AND TREATMENT, PROMOTING INNOVATIVE STRATEGIES, AND FORMING ACTION TEAMS TO ADVANCE HEALTH EQUITY POST-SYMPOSIUM. OBJECTIVES INCLUDE FACILITATING DIALOGUE AND COLLABORATION AMONG LEADERS IN WOMEN'S HEALTH, AMPLIFYING THE VOICES OF WOMEN AT THE INTERSECTIONS OF RACE, CLASS, SEXUALITY, AND HEALTH, AND DEVELOPING A NEW FRAMEWORK FOR POWER-SHARING IN HEALTHCARE RESEARCH. THE EXPECTED OUTCOMES ARE TO ACCELERATE RESEARCH ON WOMEN'S HEALTH DISPARITIES, SHIFT BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH AND CLINICAL PRACTICES TO BETTER ADDRESS WOMEN'S NEEDS, AND CULTIVATE SOCIAL AND POLITICAL POWER AMONG WOMEN. THE SYMPOSIUM WILL IDENTIFY POLICIES, RESEARCH PROJECTS, AND PROGRAMS FOR IMPLEMENTATION, AIMING TO CREATE ACTIONABLE CHANGE AND IMPROVE HEALTH OUTCOMES FOR WOMEN. THIS PROJECT IS CRITICAL IN DEVELOPING A STRATEGIC VISION AND FRAMEWORK TO GUIDE WOMEN'S HEALTH RESEARCH THROUGH AN INTERSECTIONAL FEMINIST LENS.
