This bill directs the Department of Health and Human Services to conduct research on detecting and treating uterine fibroids and to award grants to states for programs that increase early detection, intervention, and public awareness about the condition. States receiving grants can use funding for screening procedures, advanced gynecological imaging, patient navigation services, and public education campaigns, with priority given to states focusing on socially vulnerable populations at higher risk for uterine fibroids. The bill also authorizes grants for research on pain management disparities in fibroid treatment and related intrauterine conditions. The Secretary of Health and Human Services must report to Congress every two years on the findings and results of funded programs and research developments, beginning two years after the bill's enactment. The legislation does not specify a total funding amount but establishes a framework for grants and research initiatives focused on improving outcomes for women affected by uterine fibroids, particularly those in underserved communities.
