Fertility Status as a Marker for Overall Health (R21 Clinical Trial Optional)
Funding Opportunity PA-18-049 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to support exploratory/developmental research that explores the premise that fertility status can be a marker for overall health. It is clear that chronic conditions such as cancer, diabetes, and obesity can impair fertility, however less is known about the extent to which fertility status can impact or act 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 o...
