Nearly half of all pregnancies in the United States are unintended. There is a critical need for fertility regulation methods that fit the needs of women and men throughout their reproductive lives. Concurrent with this, there is a critical need to facilitate the development of new reproductive health related therapies. This notice of funding opportunity announcement (NOFO) supports the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) in its mission to develop novel, safe and effective non-hormonal contraceptive methods for men and women and to enable research investment opportunities in reproductive health related indications.
The purpose of this notice of funding opportunity announcement (NOFO) is to provide investigators with a mechanism to request services from this facility that would advance their contraceptive or reproductive health related development program. Contractor efforts for reproductive health related investments are contingent on available funding and contractor availability. Investigators developing a reproductive health related therapy and/or device are strongly encouraged to discuss their potential service request with the Scientific/Research Contact prior to submission.
