Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Infectious Disease Prevention
  • Reproductive Health

Background:

  • Vaginal microbicides are a novel technology for preventing sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and conception.
  • Industry and public sectors lack sufficient investment and urgency for microbicide development.
  • This gap hinders essential research, development, and product advancement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish the Alliance for Microbicide Development to advocate for and advance microbicide research and development.
  • To track product development and regulatory status.
  • To improve preclinical and clinical processes and support further studies.

Main Methods:

  • The Alliance for Microbicide Development was formed with a Rockefeller Foundation grant.
