archived

Purpose. This FOA issued by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) encourages investigator(s)-initiated applications that represent exploratory/developmental collaborations between socio-behavioral and biomedical scientists in the area of infertility.Research supported through this FOA should aim either to develop methods or theories incorporating biomedical aspects of infertility into social and behavioral science research projects, or to generate methods or theories that allow biomedical researchers to address the broader social and behavioral concerns that they have about their patient populations.Appropriate applications will include teams of investigators who span multiple disciplines in their training and methodologies, and who propose innovative ways of combining aspects of their respective scientific backgrounds.Projects may focus on basic or clinical research. Mechanism of Support. This FOA will use the NIH Exploratory/Developmental (R21) grant mechanism.
