Opportunity Summary:
The Fragile X Pre mutation and Ovarian Function (R01) funding opportunity (PA-07-219) is an NIH grant announcement from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) that supports research on how the Fragile X premutation affects ovarian function. The central scientific focus is understanding and addressing ovarian dysfunction associated with the premutation, especially premature ovarian failure and early menopause. Projects can be basic, clinical, or translational in nature, and they may study these effects in women, in animal models, or in a combination of both, as long as the work is clearly aimed at clarifying mechanisms, consequences, or potential approaches relevant to ovarian health in premutation carriers.
The award mechanism is the standard NIH Research Project Grant (R01), which is intended for substantial, hypothesis-driven research programs that may involve multi-year, multi-aim studies. This FOA is described as running in parallel with another announcement of the same scientific scope that uses the R03 mechanism (PA-07-220). In practical terms, that means applicants with smaller, more limited, or pilot-style projects might consider the R03 route, while applicants proposing larger and more comprehensive research plans would typically align with the R01 mechanism under PA-07-219.
Funding levels and the number of awards are not fixed in advance. Instead, awards depend on the availability of NIH funds and the volume of strong applications received. Because proposed projects can vary widely in design (for example, laboratory-based mechanistic studies versus longitudinal clinical studies), the NIH anticipates that both the budget size and project duration will vary across funded grants. The total number of awards and total dollars awarded will ultimately be driven by factors such as scientific merit, requested costs, and how long each project is proposed to run.
From an administrative and eligibility standpoint, this is a discretionary grant opportunity within the Health category (CFDA 93.865: Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research), and it does not require cost sharing or matching. A broad range of applicant organizations are eligible, including higher education institutions (public and private), nonprofit organizations (including those with and without 501(c)(3) status, with the noted exception categories), for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profits), independent school districts, and multiple levels of government entities (state, county, city/township, special district governments). Tribal governments and certain tribal organizations are also eligible. Importantly, foreign institutions are eligible to apply, eligible federal agencies may apply, and faith-based or community-based organizations are not excluded.
The opportunity was posted on February 16, 2007, and it used multiple receipt dates rather than a single deadline, meaning applications could be submitted on recurring standard NIH due dates during the active period of the announcement. The listing indicates an archive date of April 5, 2010, which signals that the specific announcement is no longer active in that original form, although similar topics may reappear under newer NIH funding announcements. The full announcement was historically available through the NIH Grants Guide webpage referenced in the listing, and general access or technical issues were routed to the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster contact provided.

What is the main research focus of PA-07-219?
The central focus is research on how the Fragile X premutation affects ovarian function. The goal is to better understand and address ovarian dysfunction associated with the premutation, with particular emphasis on premature ovarian failure and early menopause.
What types of studies does this FOA support (basic, clinical, translational)?
Projects may be basic, clinical, or translational in nature. The key requirement is that the proposed work is clearly aimed at clarifying mechanisms, consequences, or potential approaches relevant to ovarian health in Fragile X premutation carriers.
Are studies in humans required, or are animal models allowed?
The FOA allows studies in women, in animal models, or a combination of both. The work should be clearly tied to understanding ovarian function impacts related to the Fragile X premutation.
What grant mechanism is used for this opportunity?
