NIH Resource Access Program (X01)

Biological Testing Facility for Contraception & Reproductive Health

Funds access to NIH's own Biological Testing Facility for contraceptive or reproductive-health work — a service award, open to applicants worldwide.

Testing a candidate contraceptive or reproductive-health intervention often needs access to specialised biological assays that most labs simply do not have in house, and building that capability for one project alone rarely makes sense.

This X01 does not hand out research money to spend as the recipient sees fit. It is a resource-access award: NIH gives successful applicants use of its own state-

Access to NIH's Biological Testing Facility to advance contraceptive development or reproductive-health research, positioning methods for a future regulatory submission or clinical development. Current NIH funding is not required to apply, though funded programmes may be prioritised. Clinical trials are not accepted under this version.
