What this bill would do
The FED UP with Bleeding Disorders Act of 2026 aims to increase research and initiatives for bleeding disorders in underserved populations. The bill directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to lead a review of Federal programs, including the science of bleeding disorders in women and girls and their access to treatment. Following this review, a comprehensive report must be submitted to Congress and made public. The Act also mandates a national, evidence-based education and awareness campaign targeting women, girls, and healthcare providers. This campaign is intended to improve diagnosis and treatment through competitive grants or contracts. Finally, the bill authorizes specific appropriations to fund these awareness efforts over several years.
