Development of biochemical techniques for the prediction of human ovulation.

Abstract

The objective of the research is the development of biochemical endpoints based upon changes in vaginal, cervical, urinary or oral cavity fluids which exhibit a consistent pattern with respect to the menstrual cycle. The potential indicator must be present in measurable and recognizable form in most individual cycles and must not require statistical analysis of pooled data for demonstration. The request for proposal (RFP) was issued on January 30, 1976. Proposals will be due COB, March 31, 1976. Copies of the RFP may be obtained by sending requests to: Paul Duska, Contracting Officer, Contracts Management Section, Grants and Contracts, Management Branch, National Institute of Child Health and Development, Landow Building, Room C-625, Bethesda, Maryland 20014.
