The Advancing Menopause Care and Mid-Life Women's Health Act directs the National Institutes of Health and the Department of Health and Human Services to expand research on menopause and related health issues affecting midlife women, with a focus on understanding symptoms, health disparities, and effective treatment approaches. The bill authorizes $25 million annually from 2027 through 2031 to fund research grants to hospitals, medical schools, and research organizations, as well as to establish federally-designated Centers of Excellence that will train healthcare providers and develop resources for patients, with priority given to centers serving rural and underserved communities. The legislation also requires the creation of a public health research program that will track screening and treatment services, study workplace impacts of menopause, and coordinate efforts across relevant federal agencies including the Veterans Affairs and Defense departments to ensure aligned and efficient implementation.
