Summary
What This Bill Does
This bill creates a comprehensive federal effort to address menopause and mid-life women's health. It directs NIH to coordinate and expand research on menopausal symptoms and related health outcomes, creates new grant programs for public health promotion and clinical training, and establishes Centers of Excellence for menopause care.
Who Benefits and How
Women experiencing perimenopause and menopause benefit from expanded research on symptoms and treatments, increased public awareness, and improved provider training. Medical schools, teaching hospitals, and health systems gain access to new grants for research, training programs, and designation as Centers of Excellence. Healthcare providers benefit from expanded continuing education opportunities and clinical training programs.
Who Bears the Burden and How
HHS and NIH must coordinate and implement multiple new programs, maintain a public health dashboard, and submit annual reports to Congress. The federal budget absorbs costs for the new research grants, training programs, and public health awareness campaigns.
Key Provisions
- NIH coordinates expanded research on menopausal symptoms and chronic conditions
- Grants for public health departments and healthcare entities to improve menopause care
- Training grants for medical schools, hospitals, and nursing programs
