The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) is issuing this Notice of Special Interest (NOSI) to announce the opportunity for investigators to apply for funding to optimize treatments of comorbid conditions in adolescents and reproductive age women with a diagnosis of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS).
The goals of this initiative are to stimulate interdisciplinary scientific collaboration between gynecologists/reproductive endocrinologists/obstetricians and subspecialists in diverse medical fields, including cardiologists, endocrinologists, gastroenterologists, psychiatrists, mental health professionals, pulmonologists, among others, to: 1) advance individualized treatments consistent with gynecologic, reproductive and obstetrical needs and desires; 2) promote translational and clinical research to increase knowledge and understanding of interaction of various therapies on gynecologic, reproductive and obstetric outcomes; and 3) discover and develop novel safe and more effective therapies for adolescents and women with PCOS with underlying comorbid conditions. Ultimately, this research would advance precision therapeutics for adolescents and adults with PCOS who have concomitant medical conditions.
This notice applies to due dates on or after February 05, 2021 and subsequent receipt dates through September 8, 2023.
