Fertility Status as a Marker for Overall Health (R01 Clinical Trial Optional)
Funding Opportunity PAR-20-281 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this funding opportunity (FOA) is to support research that explores the premise that fertility status can be a marker for overall health. Chronic conditions such as concer, diabetes, and obesity can impair fertility, however, less is known about the extent to which fertility status can impact or acts as a marker for overall health. Data suggest that infertility is not necessarily a unique disease of the reproductive axis but is often physiologically or genetically linked with other diseases and conditions. Recent epidemiologic stu...

Using Human Cell Animal Chimera Brains to Study HIV Latency and Pathology R01 - Clinical Trials Not Allowed
Funding Opportunity RFA-DA-21-026 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. Recent technical advancements have enabled generating human cell-mice chimeric brains by engrafting human iPSC-derived primitive neural progenitor cells and/or cord blood-derived microglial progenitor cells into neonatal mouse. In the chimeric brain, human neural progenitor cells or microglial cells differentiate, migrate, and distribute throughout the mouse brain. They are eventually functionally integrated into various brain regions. Such successes provide opportunities to define the structure, function, genetics and plasticity of functiona...
