Our Community
coming together for change
Creating the next generation of contraceptive products will take effort from a broad community. NewGen believes Women+ should be at the center of this effort. Keep reading to hear more about how different groups can drive change.
Women+ - need to be at the center of shaping the movement to get a wider set of contraceptives
- Sharing their experience with contraceptives
- Advocating for specific needs
- Shaping contraceptive R&D
- Supporting reimbursement and access
- Ensuring diverse perspectives
Allies are essential!
- The problems with existing methods impact us all
- We also need male methods
- A broad array of voices helps
NewGen is NEW – we want to hear from you as we shape our programs!
Changing the current contraceptive choices will require advocates
- More people need to be aware that current contraceptive options aren’t sufficient
- We need to address R&D funding, as well as access to and reimbursement for new contraceptives
Funders are core to change
- The gap between what is currently spent on contraceptive R&D and what is needed is HUGE
- ~$150 million per year is woefully inadequate given getting one product to the market could take $1-2 billion
NewGen is NEW – if you are an advocate or funder, we want to hear from you as we shape our programs.
Health care providers are essential to ensuring people get the contraception they need
- Providers have a key role in understanding and relaying the needs of women+
- Provider experience with existing contraceptive options can help shape future choices
- Providers face the challenge of meeting needs that can't always be met by existing options
- Providers see the challenging consequences of contraceptive failure
Health care payers make decisions on what products people can access
- They have a critical role in funding access to new products which are often more expensive than older ones
NewGen is NEW – if you are a provider or payer, and are interested in sharing your views - we want to hear from you as we shape our programs.
Researchers are essential to change
- They conduct the science that supports finding new methods
- They have a key role in understanding how existing products do/do not fit our needs
NewGen is NEW – if you are a researcher, and want to share your views, we want to hear from you as we shape our programs.
Without product developers we can't have new products
- They take the existing science and translate it into new product concepts
- They conduct the rigorous testing required to get regulatory approval
- They invest the huge funds required for R&D
Regulators are key to ensuring the safety and efficacy of new products
NewGen is NEW – if you are a product developer or regulator, and are interested in sharing your views - we want to hear from you as we shape our programs!
