Request for Information: Developing Menopause Common Data Elements

Solicitation # NOT-OD-26-111

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has issued a Request for Information to gather input for the development of Common Data Elements (CDEs) focused on menopause. The goal is to create a standardized set of questions and response options to improve the consistency, interoperability, and reproducibility of data collected across research, clinical care, and public health settings. By harmonizing how menopause-related data is recorded, the NIH aims to better understand women's midlife health and the long-term impacts of various treatments. The NIH is seeking feedback on priority domains, including menstrual history, menopausal status, symptoms, biomarkers, and patient-reported outcomes. The proposed framework suggests a tiered approach consisting of core elements for universal collection, supplemental elements for specific thematic aims, and exploratory elements for emerging technologies and biomarkers. Additionally, the initiative seeks guidance on aligning these elements with existing health standards, ensuring representation across diverse populations, and minimizing the burden on participants and providers during implementation.

Solicitation # FA9300-20-S-0001-CALL-RDRE-CC

The Air Force Research Laboratory Rocket Propulsion Division is seeking innovative research and development to advance Rotating Detonation Rocket Engine-Combined Cycle propulsion systems from TRL 3 to TRL 6. This effort aims to culminate in a ground-launched flight demonstration to support High-Speed Affordable Mass Munitions. The acquisition follows a two-step process, beginning with the submission of a technical white paper and rough order of magnitude cost, with selected offerors later invited to submit full technical and cost proposals. The anticipated period of performance is 36 to 48 months. Key submission requirements include a ten-page core white paper and an optional five-page technical appendix. While narrative text must be double-spaced, single-spacing is permitted within tables and graphics. Due to the presence of Controlled Unclassified Information, submissions must be sent via DoD SAFE drop requests to Contracting Officers Mathew Pierson and Kameelah Purdom, as the generic workflow inbox is no longer in use. Additionally, the government will utilize a non-government advisor from Sierra Lobo, Inc. for technical evaluation, and vetted contractors must use their CAGE code to access controlled technical Q&A documents via SAM.gov.
