The Aporia · Trump to create new National Institutes of Health division, task force for women’s health

US President Donald Trump will sign an executive order creating both a new National Institutes of Health (NIH) division and a White House task force focused on women's health. The NIH Women’s Health Division, led alongside existing research efforts, aims to have a broader mandate beyond just research, focusing on modernizing care for women and addressing research gaps. The task force will be headed by Trump’s chief of staff Susie Wiles and US Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who recently announced she is cancer-free.

Story summary

On October 19, 2026, President Trump signed an executive order in the Rose Garden with First Lady Melania Trump, creating a new Women's Health Division within the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and a White House Women’s Health Task Force. The First Lady emphasized five objectives: directing research funding to find cures disproportionately affecting women, using artificial intelligence to speed up medical discoveries, accelerating new therapeutics for women, delivering breakthroughs at an affordable price, and making conversations about women's health less taboo.

The task force will be led by White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles and Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., with a broader mandate beyond research. This move is seen as significant, particularly given the First Lady’s role in conceiving the initiative and Wiles’ recent public battle against breast cancer.
