Infertility Training Center

The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health (OASH), under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), has issued a forecasted Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) titled "Infertility Training Center" under funding opportunity number PA-FPT-25-002. This opportunity is designed to support the creation and operation of a centralized training facility to serve Title X-funded organizations. It is authorized by Section 1003 of the Public Health Service Act, codified at 42 U.S.C. § 300a–1, and it will be funded through cooperative agreements. The project is classified under Assistance Listing 93.260, which pertains to Family Planning Personnel Training. The purpose of this NOFO is to expand and enhance the diagnostic and treatment services related to infertility within the Title X family planning network. The Infertility Training Center will play a pivotal role in offering training and technical assistance to Title X grantees, particularly in identifying and addressing root causes of infertility. The center will also provide education on fertility awareness-based methods, body literacy, and comprehensive referral systems. Specific medical conditions that the center aims to address include endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and thyroid disorders, all of which are linked to infertility and reproductive health challenges. Applicants for this opportunity must be public or nonprofit private entities. The NOFO explicitly states that all funded activities must comply with the Title X statute, associated regulations, and applicable legislative mandates. The scope of eligible activities includes educating Title X providers about holistic infertility treatment options, strengthening in-clinic diagnostic and treatment services, and facilitating effective patient referrals to specialized care providers, including those trained in fertility awareness-based methods or minimally invasive reproductive surgery. The funding agency anticipates making one award under this NOFO. The estimated total program funding is $1,500,000, which also serves as the ceiling for a single award. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement for applicants. The forecasted timeline indicates an estimated post date of July 15, 2025, with the application due date projected for August 15, 2025. The anticipated award and project start dates are both set for September 30, 2025. This opportunity is forecasted and is not yet accepting applications. Eligible applicants include a broad range of entities such as state and local governments, tribal governments and organizations (both federally recognized and not), independent school districts, public housing authorities, small and large businesses, individuals, and institutions of higher education, both public and private. The funding opportunity also welcomes applications from nonprofit organizations regardless of their 501(c)(3) status. Essentially, any public or private nonprofit entity is eligible to apply.
