The primary purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to support and facilitate multidisciplinary approaches towards the development of new and/or improved contraceptive methods for both men and women through the formation of a Contraceptive Research Development Center. This FOA also allows the inclusion of translational studies to facilitate the pre-clinical to clinical transition and increase the likelihood of clinical success. Additionally, it allows for behavioral/social science, including market research to test user acceptability, research projects that are responding and well-coordinated to the contraceptive product being developed. The Center will serve as a national resource for development of early stage investigators electing to pursue careers in contraceptive research.
