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.
