<p>The Department commissions research through the National Institute for Health and
Care Research (NIHR). The NIHR funds research on menopause, but it is not currently
funding any specific research into the potential impact of menopause on people with
multiple sclerosis.</p><p>The NIHR welcomes funding applications for research into
any aspect of human health and we want to ensure that we answer the most important
research questions and address topics that make the biggest difference to patients,
and the public. On 18 October 2023, World Menopause Day, the James Lind Alliance (JLA)
launched a Priority Setting Partnership focused on menopause. This initiative engages
women who have experienced menopause as well as healthcare professionals, to identify
research priorities. This will result in the creation of a public Top 10 list that
researchers can access and consider as a focus for their work. The final priority
setting process will be a full day workshop facilitated by the JLA in October 2024.</p>
