Research support is one of FRM’s two core pillars. We are always looking for new research proposals in reproductive biology and clinical medicine to assist and promote. Results of FRM-supported research must be made available to the global research community and on FRM's website. The research we support focuses on solving infertility problems to benefit humanity.

If you have a research proposal that you would like FRM to review for financial support, please submit your proposal here. Research proposals are reviewed in the following step-by-step process in the next section below:

1. Submission of letter of intent by the principal investigator.

2. Submission of formal proposal.

3. Review of proposal by an FRM investigator.

4. Proposal review by independent reviewers.

5. Submission for funding to the Foundation Board by the FRM President.

6. Review by the Foundation Board for approval of funding.

7. Fund dispensation per application requirements.

Qualified proposals need to be from responsible investigators who have demonstrated prior experience with grant administration. The research has to be conducted, where applicable, with prior review and approval from the Institutional Review Board (IRB). Applications should be submitted in NIH format.

Our second core pillar is CME. FRM strives to continue medical education through a variety of ways, mostly via events. We host a variety of events throughout the year with our two main types being GrandRounds, small but relevant talk, and the annual multi-day event, Foundation for Reproductive Medicine Conference which takes place every year in NYC.

GrandRounds, a CME lecture series widely attended by physicians and scientists in Obstetrics & Gynecology, Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility, and scientists in all areas of reproductive biology. Featuring leading investigators in the fields, the complimentary CME series is co-sponsored by FRM and Center for Human Reproduction (CHR).

FRMC, which started in 2016 and has been held in New York City every year since, has gained importance in the FRM’s work. The conference, Translational Reproductive Biology and Clinical Reproductive Endocrinology Conference, draws over 100 clinicians and basic scientists from over countries, with a stellar lineup of faculty presenting the most authoritative, up-to-date developments in the field. To learn more about the FRMC, please visit the conference website.

If you have important research findings in reproductive medicine and biology that you believe fit the GrandRounds’ scope, please submit an education proposal to INFO@FOUNDATIONFORREPRODMED.ORG, outlining the findings and their clinical implications.
