This $900,441 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), supports research at Brown University to uncover the developmental and molecular mechanisms underlying the establishment and maintenance of the ovarian follicle reserve in mice. The goal is to better understand, diagnose, and potentially treat primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) and female...
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, valued at $413,118.00, was provided by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859). The grant supports research to investigate organelle transport and organization during mammalian oogenesis, with a focus on understanding the mechanisms underlying primary oocyte determination, quiescence, and loss in adult ovaries. Key research objectives include: Defining the intercellular polarity...
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...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), CFDA 93.865 Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program, will provide $397,375.00 to the University of Wyoming to conduct laboratory research on the role of PGRMC proteins as potential markers of fertility and overall health status. The research aims to evaluate PGRMC1 and PGRMC2 gene expression across the lifespan in major organs, and to examine the impact of selectively...
This federal 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 $221,448 to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) to study the role of apoptosis (programmed cell death) in oogenesis, the process of female gamete (oocyte) production. The research aims to identify mechanisms that promote oocyte health and quality,...

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 $232,308 to Magee-Womens Research Institute and Foundation to elucidate the role of the hyaluronan matrices on the establishment and maintenance of the ovarian reserve and reproductive longevity. The research aims to test the hypothesis that the stromal microenvironment of the fetal ovary, including a hyaluronan-rich matrix, regulates the ovarian reserve and reproductive lifespan. The project will be conducted over the period of September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2025.
