## Summary

**Creates a coordinated federal program to expand research, public education, and clinical guidance on triple-negative breast cancer with a clear focus on minority women and health disparities.** It would add a new section to the Public Health Service Act to organize those activities across federal agencies. - Families and patients: More public information on TNBC incidence, prevalence, the higher risk among minority women, and the range of treatment options for symptomatic TNBC. - Health care providers: The Health Resources and Services Administration would develop and distribute up-to-date clinical information so providers know about elevated risks and available treatments. - Researchers and institutes: The National Institutes of Health Director would coordinate and expand TNBC research across relevant institutes and offices, including the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, the Office of Research on Women's Health, and the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities. - Public health partnerships: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention may share information directly or through nonprofits, universities, and state and local agencies. - Funding window: The bill authorizes appropriations as needed for fiscal years 2026 through 2031.
