2. Respond to product-related issues about currently available FP methods that arise at purchase and/or from the field, and that may affect provider/user perceptions and/or the supply chain.
3. Develop new FP methods that address method-related reasons for non-use, and/or fill gaps in the existing method mix.
4. Conduct research to foster the introduction and uptake of new and/or underutilized woman-initiated methods, particularly non-hormonal barriers, contraceptive vaginal rings, and fertility awareness methods based on knowledge and monitoring of the menstrual cycle.
5. Develop multipurpose prevention technologies (MPTs) that address the simultaneous risks of unintended pregnancy, HIV, and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) particularly Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) and Human Papillomavirus (HPV).
