This National Institutes of Health grant supports research exploring the premise that fertility status can serve as a marker for overall health. While chronic conditions are known to impair fertility, this funding opportunity focuses on understanding how fertility itself acts as an indicator of broader health. Emerging data suggest infertility is often physiologically or genetically linked with other diseases, making fertility status a potential ‘window’ into overall well-being in both males and females. Successful applications will require collaboration between reproductive health experts and specialists in other non-reproductive fields. The grant specifically funds studies evaluating fertility as a health marker, not the reverse, and does not support recruitment of new cohorts.

| Description: | 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 studies demonstrate links between fertility status in both males and females and various somatic diseases and disorders. Taken together, these data strongly suggest that fertility status can be a window into overall health. Advancing this premise will require substantive involvement of experts in reproductive health/fertility along with expert in another non-reproductive specialty appropriate to the area of overall health being investigated, for example, in other fields such as epidemiology, or the somatic disease in question. This FOA focuses on studies evaluating fertility as a marker for overall health, and therefore applications that look at the effects of the disease or disorder on fertility are outside of the scope of this program. Recruitment of new cohorts will not be supported by this FOA. |
