This Federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), will provide $152,000.00 to North Carolina State University (NC State) for research on the role of the TET2 enzyme in regulating uterine function and fertility. The primary objectives are to determine the in vivo role of TET2 in: 1) regulation of the uterine window of receptivity, and 2) endometrial...
The University of Illinois has received a $655,014 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865). The grant will fund research to determine if glycogen stores in the uterine endometrium are necessary for successful pregnancy. The project aims to 1) knockout glycogen synthase in the uterus of mice to assess the impact on fertility and pregnancy, and 2) elucidate the...
The University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. was awarded a $151,000 federal Project Grant under the National Institutes of Health's Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865). The research project, titled "Dysregulation of Uterine Fluid Movement as a Mechanism of Contraception," aims to investigate the role of uterine fluid dynamics in hormonal contraception and infertility. Key activities will include determining the time-course effects of...
This Project Grant award, totaling $584,074, was provided by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865). The award will fund research at the University of Massachusetts Medical School (UMass Medical) to investigate the role of ion channels, specifically L-type Ca2+ channels Cav1.2 and Cav1.3, in regulating uterine contraction and peristalsis, and their contribution to conditions...
This Project Grant award of $1,040,056 from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) supports research to elucidate the role of leukocytes and their derived cytokines in the ovulatory process in humans. The study aims to characterize the expression profile of these cytokines and their receptors in dominant follicles throughout the ovulatory period, and to determine the impact of...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), is focused on developing a physiomimetic model of the endometrioma lesion microenvironment to investigate processes responsible for lesion initiation and invasion. The $643,049 award, effective March 19, 2025 through December 31, 2029, will support researchers at the University of Illinois in identifying cues...
This Project Grant award, totaling $1,624,100.00, was provided by 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 aims to understand the role of the tumor suppressors REST and MED12 in regulating estrogen-progesterone pathways in uterine fibroids, which are the most common clinical indication for hysterectomy. The research will utilize genetically modified mouse models to...
This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under CFDA program 93.865 Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research, will fund a multi-disciplinary research effort to uncover novel insights into endocervical mucus secretion. The primary goal is to understand how female sex hormones regulate the biophysical properties of endocervical mucus in order to inform the development of novel, non-hormonal therapeutics for...
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 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 to elucidate the cellular and molecular mechanisms by which uterine epithelial estrogen receptor alpha (ERA) regulates the uterine immune environment during early pregnancy.

The $641,750 award to the University of Georgia Research Foundation will fund a 2-year study using a mouse model to determine how uterine epithelial ERA temporally orchestrates the immune status in the pre-implantation uterus and controls sperm fitness. The research aims to improve understanding of the regulation of uterine functions during early pregnancy, which could aid in developing diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to address infertility and early pregnancy loss.
