Infertility Training Center

The Infertility Training Center funding opportunity (PA-FPT-25-002) is a forecasted discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, specifically through the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health. It is made available under the authority of 42 U.S.C. § 300a–1 (Section 1003 of the Public Health Service Act), with support from the Office of Population Affairs (OPA). The funding falls under the Assistance Listing 93.260, which is directed toward Family Planning Personnel Training. This initiative is anticipated to receive $1,500,000 in federal support for Fiscal Year 2025. The central objective of this grant is to establish and operate an Infertility Training Center. The Center will provide training and technical assistance to Title X-funded organizations, which are dedicated to offering comprehensive family planning and related preventive health services. The Infertility Training Center will play a critical role in expanding and enhancing the capacity of Title X-funded clinics to deliver diagnostic and treatment services that address the root causes of infertility. This includes ensuring that services and referrals are informed by holistic and individualized patient needs. Specifically, the Center is expected to (1) educate providers on the root causes of infertility and the broad range of treatment and referral options; (2) support access to body literacy education and fertility awareness-based methods aimed at addressing underlying reproductive health conditions such as endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and thyroid disorders; (3) promote enhanced diagnostic testing and comprehensive fertility restoration treatments within Title X clinics; and (4) strengthen referral networks to fertility awareness-based practitioners and minimally invasive surgical specialists, ensuring continuity and patient-centered care. Applicants for this opportunity may be public or private nonprofit entities. This includes a broad range of eligible applicants such as county governments, city or township governments, state governments, special district governments, public housing authorities, Native American tribal governments (both federally and non-federally recognized), public and private institutions of higher education, independent school districts, small businesses, for-profit entities other than small businesses, individuals, and nonprofits both with and without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The eligibility language emphasizes inclusivity for nonprofit and public entities committed to advancing infertility services in compliance with Title X requirements. As a forecasted opportunity, the grant is not yet open for applications. The estimated post date for the funding announcement is July 15, 2025, and the anticipated application deadline is August 15, 2025. Awards are expected to be issued by September 30, 2025, with project activities beginning on the same date. The opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching funds. All funded activities must comply with Title X statutes, regulations, and applicable legislative mandates.
