CONRAD exists to facilitate the rapid development of safe, acceptable, affordable products and methods that provide contraception and/or prevent the sexual transmission of HIV/AIDS and other infections.
Our work does not begin in the laboratory or even in the scientist's mind, but with the needs of women and men everywhere who are struggling for a better life for themselves and their families. As a multifaceted organization involved in all aspects of product development, we place high priority on those needs, doing much of our work in real settings, with real people. Our broad scope, global network and focus on reproductive health enables us to help to ensure that the emerging and changing needs of women and men in under-resourced parts of the world are acted on in swift and prudent ways.
