About this opportunity
The Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health Office on Women's Health is soliciting applications for NAVIGATE Reproductive Center of Excellence cooperative agreements, with an application due date of August 5, 2026. Eligible applicants include special district governments, tribal organizations (federally and non-federally recognized), higher education institutions (public and private), for-profit organizations, non-501(c)(3) nonprofits, county and city/township governments, public or Indian housing authorities, independent school districts, 501(c)(3) nonprofits, and federally recognized tribal governments.
The funding activity addresses prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of reproductive health conditions including polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS, formerly polycystic ovary syndrome or PCOS), endometriosis, uterine fibroids, infertility, pelvic inflammatory disease, reproductive-age endocrine disorders, and recurrent miscarriage. Selected organizations will be elevated as Centers of Excellence to strengthen translation of evidence into practice, enhance and standardize root-cause care pathways, expand workforce training, and improve health outcomes for women.
The cooperative agreement structure supports a maximum performance period of five years, typically organized in 12-month budget periods. Awards after the first budget period are generally contingent on non-competing continuation application approval, satisfactory performance, and fund availability. Recent awards under the parent program (CFDA 93.088, Advancing System Improvements for Key Issues in Women's Health) have ranged from $800 thousand to $7.5 million, with typical project periods of three to five years.
