The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill received a $586,356 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), awarded June 1, 2026, with a completion date of February 28, 2031. This research initiative examines the relationship between menstrual effluent characteristics and fertility outcomes by enrolling 695 women attempting to conceive over a 12-month period. The study quantifies and analyzes menstrual effluent to identify associations between endometrial receptivity markers—including menstrual volume, luteal phase bleeding patterns, and uterine immune microenvironment factors—and reproductive outcomes such as fecundability (probability of conception) and miscarriage risk. The project delivers empirical data on two primary research objectives: determining the extent to which endometrial proliferation and luteinization impact fertility by measuring associations between menstrual volume and bleeding patterns with conception rates and miscarriage outcomes; and determining the extent to which the uterine immune microenvironment impacts fertility by analyzing mononuclear cells and cytokines in menstrual effluent. Participants undergo standardized ovulation and pregnancy testing, maintain daily bleeding pattern diaries, and receive ultrasound assessment and pregnancy outcome documentation. This research represents an innovation in using non-invasive menstrual effluent collection as an alternative to invasive endometrial biopsy for assessing endometrial receptivity and its influence on reproductive success.Federal Grant Award Summary
