This Project Grant award from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), will support research at King's College London to investigate how follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) glycoforms modulate the function of the FSH receptor (FSHR) in the aging ovary. The $739,702 award, effective August 19, 2024 through May 31, 2029, aims to elucidate the distinct roles...
The University of Kentucky Research Foundation was awarded a $1,040,056 Project Grant from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865). The grant, awarded on August 22, 2024, supports a research study to elucidate the role of leukocytes and their derived cytokines in facilitating ovulation and luteinization in the human ovary. The study aims to characterize the expression profile of...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) provides $154,000 to The University of Kentucky Research Foundation to investigate the role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the ovulatory process. The research aims to identify the top 5 most highly LH/HCG-regulated lncRNAs and characterize their function in the ovary, particularly the role of the lncRNA GM12648 in regulating genes...
This Project Grant award from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), provides $108,512 to the University of Illinois to investigate the mechanisms by which the protein Salt-Inducible Kinase 3 (SIK3) regulates fertility. The research aims to elucidate SIK3's upstream regulation, downstream targets, and role in the metabolism of ovarian granulosa cells,...
This Project Grant award from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), provides $743,287 to Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) to conduct research on endocervical mucus secretion. The goal is to uncover the cells and pathways affected by female sex hormones that regulate mucus biophysical properties, with the long-term aim of developing novel,...
This $426,250 Project Grant, awarded by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research, aims to investigate the role of circular RNA (circRNA) in ovarian follicular development and fertility. The key objectives are to: 1) Examine the effect of granulosa cell-specific KHDRBS1 loss on LH-regulated circRNA biogenesis and fertility, and 2) Elucidate the molecular mechanisms and functional impact of...
This Project Grant award from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the federal Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), provides $980,400 to Kent State University to investigate the role of kisspeptin/neurokinin B/dynorphin (KNDY) neurons in an animal model of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The research aims to define how changes in the regulation of KNDY cells by steroid hormones and afferent...

This Project Grant award of $624,809.00 from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under CFDA Program 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research aims to investigate the role of dopaminergic regulation of KNDY neurons and its implications for GnRH pulses and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The research project, conducted by Brigham & Women's Hospital Inc., will examine KNDY neuron activity under normal and...

This Project Grant award from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research, totaling $665,122.00, supports research to understand the role of the glucocorticoid receptor in the ovary. The research aims to determine the physiological significance of the glucocorticoid receptor and identify its transcriptomic, genomic, and functional changes necessary for successful ovulation and luteal development across mouse, monkey, and human models. The findings are expected to provide novel insights into the species-specific and conserved mechanisms controlling ovulation and luteinization, which can inform strategies to assist women experiencing infertility due to anovulatory disorders and luteal insufficiency. The award was granted to the University of Kentucky Research Foundation and has a performance period from July 15, 2025 to May 31, 2030.
