AHRQ Announces Interest in Funding Research on Diagnosis and Treatment of Menopause

A new Special Emphasis Notice from AHRQ signals the agency’s interest in receiving grant applications for health services research on improving the diagnosis, treatment, and management of perimenopause and menopausal symptoms. 

AHRQ seeks research proposals aimed at developing, implementing, evaluating, and scaling person-centered models of care to optimize women’s health during midlife and the menopausal transition. While safe and effective nonpharmacological and pharmacologic interventions are available to address menopausal symptoms, many are underutilized. Treatments are also inequitably available, leading to disparities in menopause-related health outcomes and access to treatments.
