Description: The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), through the Fertility and Infertility Branch (FIB), provides funding for a limited number of research centers in the reproductive sciences.These centers provide an arena for multidisciplinary interactions among basic and clinical scientists interested in establishing high quality translational research programs in the reproductive sciences.The centers also serve as national resources for the training and career development of young scientists electing to pursue careers conducting research in high priority areas of reproduction and infertility.Finally, center investigators develop and participate in important community outreach and education efforts to increase awareness and convey the importance and implications of their research activities to the general public.Accordingly, the purpose of this FOA is to announce the competition of the National Centers for Translational Research in Reproduction and Infertility (NCTRI), which replaces the Specialized Cooperative Centers Program in Reproduction and Infertility Research (SCCPIR) U54 program.The NCTRI will be administered through the Specialized Research Center (P50) award mechanism.These centers will form a national network that facilitates and accelerates bidirectional knowledge transfer between the laboratory and clinic with the ultimate goal of improving human reproductive health through enhanced communication, innovation and research excellence.
