The NICHD and NIH funded the research as part of $1.67 million in grants awarded to five institutions for exploring potential links between COVID-19 vaccination and menstrual change.
These grants came after some early reports of vaccinated women experiencing missing or irregular periods.
Dr Bianchi said: “These rigorous scientific studies will improve our understanding of the potential effects of COVID-19 vaccines on menstruation, giving people who menstruate more information about what to expect after vaccination and potentially reducing vaccine hesitancy.”
These research projects will examine various aspects of menstrual health, alongside external factors from the vaccine that could be responsible.
