The University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, received a $681,578 Project Grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) to study the long-term health outcomes of infertility among Hispanic women with Mexican heritage. The 5-year grant, which commenced on August 22, 2024, will leverage the Mexican Teachers Cohort, a prospective study of over 115,000 women in Mexico, to determine the risk of cancer, cardiometabolic diseases, and premature mortality among women with a history of infertility compared to those without. The project includes a sub-award to the Instituto Nacional De Salud Publica in Mexico to support field work, data collection, and analysis. This research aims to address the substantial gap in understanding the chronic disease risk profile for the largest minority group in the U.S. despite their higher rates of infertility, with the goal of informing early screening and intervention strategies to reduce morbidity and mortality.
