Medically Assisted Reproduction: Investigation of Mechanisms Underlying the Adverse Outcomes and Development of New and Improved Methods to Overcome the Adverse Outcomes (R21): Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) and Non-IVF Fertility Treatments (NIFT) have revolutionized the field of human reproduction for the past 3 decades. Millions of children have been born worldwide through the utilization of these technologies.An analysis of the long-term outcomes in the children is crucial for understanding the inherent risks or benefits of these procedures.The outcomes of children conceived after ART include data from nationally-maintained registries in different countries around the world. There is no uniformity in the collection and analysis of data, and most registries lack information on long-term health and developmental outcomes. NIFT has been in use for much longer than ART, and there is lack of national registries for outcomes of NIFT across the world. Long-term biological, physical, and social outcomes of offspring conceived by ART or NIFT may be different depending upon the methods or approaches used in ART or NIFT. The underlying cause of parental infertility may also contribute to the outcomes. This funding opportunity announcement encourages the innovative and high-risk/impact studies for assessing the long-term outcomes and development of registries for documenting data on ART and NIFT procedures.
