Program description

The purpose of this NOFO is to create an Infertility Training Center with available FY2025 funding under the authority of 42 U.S.C. § 300a–1 (Section 1003 of the Public Health Service Act). Through a competitive NOFO, OPA will seek applications to establish and operate an Infertility Training Center to support Title X-funded organizations in expanding and enhancing root cause infertility diagnostic treatments and referrals available to patients at Title X-funded clinics. Applicants may be a public or nonprofit private entity. All activities funded under this NOFO must be in compliance with the Title X statute, as well as the program regulations and legislative mandates, as applicable. The Infertility Training Center will provide training and technical assistance to Title X grantees to help them: to (1) educate on the root causes of infertility and the broad range of holistic infertility treatments and referrals available to patients both within and outside Title X-funded clinics; (2) promote access to robust body literacy education and fertility awareness-based methods to address root causes of infertility, such as reproductive health conditions, including endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome, and thyroid conditions, well before patients may be aware that they are experience challenges with fertility; (3) expand and enhance root cause infertility testing, treatments, and referrals available within Title X-funded clinics to enable patients to receive as many personalized and comprehensive infertility services needed as possible within the Title X-funded clinic for fertility restoration; (4) enhance referrals between Title X-funded clinics and root cause infertility specialists, including fertility awareness-based method trained professionals and minimally invasive surgeons, to ensure patient-centered care.

FAQ

Who can apply for this grant?

Public agencies and nonprofit private entities can apply. Your organization must be capable of establishing and operating a training center for Title X-funded clinics.

What is the funding amount available?

This is a single competitive award up to $1,500,000. The total funding pool is $1,500,000, so only one center will be funded.

What are the core activities the center must support?

The center must provide training on root cause infertility, fertility awareness methods, reproductive health conditions, and connect Title X clinics with specialists for patient referrals.

When is the application deadline?

The deadline is August 15, 2025. This is a fixed deadline, not rolling.

Is cost-sharing required?

No cost-sharing is required. Your organization does not need to provide matching funds.

💡 Tips for applicants

  • Emphasize your existing relationships with Title X-funded clinics and grantees. Show how you'll build the training network quickly and effectively.
  • Include specific examples of root cause infertility conditions your organization will address: endometriosis, PCOS, thyroid conditions, and others.
  • Demonstrate expertise in fertility awareness-based methods and access to specialists for referrals. Detail your partnerships with minimally invasive surgeons and fertility specialists.
  • Address how the center will support clinics in enhancing body literacy education before patients experience fertility challenges. Prevention and education are central to the program.
  • Document your capacity to deliver ongoing technical assistance. Title X clinics need sustained support, not one-time training.

⚠️ Common mistakes

Applicants often underestimate the scope of technical assistance required. This is not a one-time training—you'll need sustainable, ongoing support systems. Weak partnerships with fertility specialists or endocrinologists will hurt competitiveness. Without strong referral networks established beforehand, reviewers will question your ability to deliver.
