Description

The purpose of this FOA is to announce the re-competition of the Male Reproductive Health Research (MRHR) Career Development Program.The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) provides funding for a limited number of programs in male reproductive health.These centers support the research career development of urologists, reproductive endocrinologists and other clinicians who have recently completed sub-specialty training and who are commencing basic, translational and/or clinical research relevant to men's reproductive health. The goal of this initiative is to increase the clinical research capacity among practitioners in the area of male reproductive biology and promote the translation of basic science advances to clinical practice. The MRHR program will accomplish this through a mentored program, bridging clinical training with research independence. The intent is to stimulate clinical research in male reproductive health and bring a more holistic approach to fertility regulation in clinical practice in which the male is an equal partner.
