Abstract

The NICHD Contraception Research Branch (CRB) is conducting research related to developing contraceptives technologies with anti-infective properties against pathogens such as HIV, Bacterial Vaginosis, Chlamydia, etc. – Multipurpose Prevention Technologies. This contract is to support facilitating coordination between relevant stakeholders in multipurpose prevention technology (MPT) development, including product developers, funding agencies, regulatory bodies, academic researchers, the media, and the public in a product neutral capacity to aid in the development of novel MPTs. The contract also supports gathering information on the current STI preventives being developed, as the Initiative for MPT has already done, so that researchers have a place to gather ideas of APIs to incorporate into MPTs. This work will occur in a phased approach with the goal of a continuously updated database to document new APIs for STI prevention as they are identified.
