Research Isn’t Enough—Because We Forget to Tell You Why It Matters

By Jodi Neuhauser
Founder, In Women’s Health

There’s a lot of talk in women’s health right now about research—about the need to fund it, to protect it, to stop cutting it. My good friends Priyanka, Pita and Laine, the co-founders at Evvy, wrote a powerful op-ed last week in Fast Company highlighting the consequences of what’s happening right now: the NIH is slashing $2.6 billion in contracts and $9.5 billion in grants this year alone, threatening foundational programs like the Women’s Health Initiative. We’re watching the floor collapse beneath us. And yet, we continue to talk about research as if it exists in a vacuum.

What often gets lost is that research isn’t just about producing knowledge—it’s about what happens when that knowledge doesn’t exist. Because in a Western, evidence-based medical system, research is the foundation for everything that comes next. Without research, there is no evidence. Without evidence, there’s no curriculum. Without curriculum, clinicians don’t get trained. And without training, women get misdiagnosed, dismissed, and delayed in their care. It’s why U.S. medical students still receive fewer than four hours of menopause education. It’s why reproductive immunology isn’t integrated into OB-GYN residencies. It’s why endometriosis still takes, on average, seven to ten years to be diagnosed—and why, in 2025, we still don’t have a viable pipeline to cure many women’s cancers.

This absence doesn’t just affect care—it slows everything down. Because without research, there is no early validation. And without validation, investors see risk. And a venture capitalist’s job isn’t to bet on vision—it’s to mitigate uncertainty. If there’s no foundational science to point to, startups can’t raise. Therapies don’t get built. Innovation doesn’t reach the market. In short: no research, no investment. No investment, no innovation.

To be clear, the statistics should already alarm us. Women weren’t even required in U.S. clinical trials until 1993. Only 1% of digital health funding goes toward women’s health. In the UK, between 2019 and 2023, 67% more male-only trials were approved than trials focused specifically on women. These numbers are real, they’re sharp—and they go viral. But while data may catch attention, it rarely sustains change. Because change doesn’t come from knowing something is broken. It comes from understanding how it broke—and what that break actually looks like in someone’s life.

That’s where story comes in. But more specifically, that’s where we need to get better at telling the story behind the story. It’s not enough to say that someone wasn’t believed at the doctor’s office. We need to show the system that led to that moment—the research that wasn’t done, the textbook that wasn’t updated, the curriculum that didn’t change, the training that never occurred, and the budget decision made five years ago that triggered the whole chain of events. One woman being dismissed in an exam room isn’t just about clinical bias. It’s about policy. It’s about funding. It’s about infrastructure.

And that’s why headlines, even the promising ones, must be read in context. This past week alone, the FDA opened public comments for its long-awaited Hearing on Menopause. The Senate passed a health appropriations bill with early signals about women’s health funding. Flo Health settled a major consumer privacy lawsuit, raising serious questions about trust in femtech. A new infant formula company raised $32 million, reflecting growing investor interest even as concerns about access and equity persist. These are all relevant, newsworthy events—but they are not isolated stories. They are nodes in a much larger system. When appropriations fall short, fewer studies get funded, and medical curricula remain stagnant. When consumer trust erodes due to privacy missteps, patient adoption slows, and so does investor confidence. When funding flows ignore early-stage research, the pipeline for innovation collapses—sometimes before it ever begins.

So here’s the real question: how well do any of us understand the system we’re trying to change?

Over the last year, I’ve sat at dinners with top execs and investors in our space and explained exactly how reimbursement works. They’ve been working in and investing in our area for years — and still didn’t know about RVU’s, the RUC committee and more. So how can we expect those new to women’s health to understand? Or more importantly, every woman using the system for healthcare?

Can we trace how a research gap leads to a lack of reimbursement? Can we explain how clinical data affects whether a startup raises its Series A? Can we draw a straight line from a policy decision at the NIH to what a med student will or won’t be taught next fall or the next 5 years? Can we articulate how privacy, access, care delivery, capital, and education all braid together?

If you can’t, you’re not behind—you’re exactly where the system wants you: aware, passionate, and partially informed. And that’s the design flaw. Because the healthcare system wasn’t built to be intuitive. It was built to protect insiders. And unless you’ve been trained to connect the dots, most of the system remains invisible—until you find yourself caught in it.

What we need now is not just more awareness. We need more understanding. We need to stop making the case for why research matters and start showing people the full set of consequences when we don’t fund it. Because if we don’t, we’ll be having this same conversation in five years—citing the same stats, fighting for the same scraps, wondering why the system hasn’t changed.

It’s time to tell the full story.
And it’s time we understand the system well enough to do it.

I need a social rockstar. Is that you?

We’re building something game-changing in women’s health. We’re in stealth (you’ll hear more about this soon) but I need a social rockstar to lead the charge (and a few others to help).

Build your portfolio, interact and have your work shared by 100+ women’s health leaders who are helping us with this campaign.

This is early stage — so right now, it’s all volunteer.

I need two key people. 1 to take the outline of a strategy for a stealth social campaign and run with it. And 1-2 others to help with design, graphics, video, or digital storytelling to join our stealth launch team. This group will create short videos, graphics, toolkits, and shareable content designed to drive organic reach and social virality.

You’ll get a free membership in IWH, this new stealth organization and 75% off of our Mastermind and Mini-MBA programs.

You’ll also get to work with the exec team directly of this new venture, including myself.

You’ll be among the first to see what we’re launching—and help set the tone for how it's received.

💡 This is the team that powers visibility, influence, and momentum.

If you’ve got experience in content, design, or video and want to be part of something bold and high-impact, reach out to Genny-Marie Spencer. This is time-sensitive—we're moving quickly.
