This grant, offered by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), supports the re-competition of the Specialized Cooperative Centers Program in Reproduction and Infertility Research (SCCPIR). It aims to fund a limited number of research centers in reproductive sciences, fostering multidisciplinary interactions between basic and clinical scientists. The primary purpose is to establish high-quality translational research programs in reproduction and infertility. Additionally, these centers will serve as national resources for training and career development of new scientists pursuing translational research in these high-priority areas. Grant recipients will also engage in crucial community outreach and education to raise awareness of their research and its implications.
