This bill directs the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to expand and coordinate research on endometrial cancer, which is cancer of the lining of the uterus. NIH would share information with medical professionals and researchers about differences in diagnosis between African-American and non-Hispanic White women. NIH would also ensure African-American women are included in its endometrial cancer clinical trials in proportion to their incidence rates. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) would create and share public education materials on the disease, including materials aimed at African-American women. The bill authorizes $1 million per year for the NIH work and unspecified amounts for the CDC program for fiscal years 2026 through 2028.
