The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) intends to issue a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for researchers seeking access to a Biological Testing Facility (BTF) dedicated to contraception and reproductive health product development. The facility will support the advancement of innovative, validated methods for fertility regulation and new therapies for reproductive health. This opportunity utilizes the X01 resource access mechanism, which provides research resources rather than direct financial support. The goal is to accelerate translational research and clinical development in the field of reproductive health.
