Description: The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), issued by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), and the Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS), is to encourage applications from the scientific community to support outstanding research in the area of female and male gamete quality. For both natural and assisted reproduction, a focal point of the initiative is on the production, identification, and use of healthy gametes. In this regard, the identification and validation of biomarkers that assess gamete quality is critical. Additional areas of interest are the impact of nutrition, environmental exposures, disease states, and aging on oocyte and sperm quality.
