§ 803. Gender-specific questions on grant applications. In order to

obtain reliable and comprehensive data on the health needs of women as

well as to ensure that women's health needs are served, in developing

grant applications and consistent with the objectives and nature of the

studies and research project, the department of health shall include

gender-specific questions to determine whether the research and studies

will impact primarily men or women and whether there are significant

differences between the sexes in the outcome of the research or studies.

For purposes of this section, studies and research shall mean any

studies or research for which the department of health provides funds.

It shall not apply to any grant for which there are contrary indications

in federal regulations.
