I wonder how much of that research money will actually go towards abortions.The DOD stated in a press release:
As part of the Department’s broader efforts to support the health of women Service members, veterans, and beneficiaries (such as spouses and dependents) to enhance the medical readiness of the force—and consistent with the President’s Executive Order on Advancing Women’s Health Research and Innovation—DoD is publicly announcing a series of new actions and commitments to advance women’s health research by:
• Spending half a billion dollars each year on women’s health research, primarily through the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP);
• Adopting a new research policy to ensure that women’s health is considered during every step of the research process that will apply to relevant research funded through the CDMRP beginning on October 1, 2024;
• Standardizing CDMRP and Military Health System Research funding opportunity announcements to encourage applicants to consider research on health areas and conditions that affect women; and
• Committing DoD’s Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program and the Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) program to increase its investments in supporting innovators and early-stage small businesses engaged in research and development on women’s health.
