The members of the committee responsible for the report were chosen for their special competences and with regard for appropriate balance. This report has been reviewed by a group other than the authors according to procedures approved by a Report Review Committee consisting of members of the National Academy of Sci- ences, the National Academy of Engineering, and the Institute of Medicine. The Institute of Medicine was chartered in 1970 by the National Academy of Sciences to enlist distinguished members of the appropriate professions in the examination of policy matters pertaining to the health of the public. In this, the Institute acts under both the Academy’s 1863 congressional charter responsibility to be an adviser to the federal government and its own initiative in identifying issues of medical care, research, and education. Dr. Kenneth I. Shine is president of the Institute of Medicine. This project was funded by the Contraceptive Research and Development (CONRAD) Program, the Andrew W.

Contraceptive Research and Development: Looking to the Future http://www.nap.edu/catalog/5156.html Acknowledgments There are many to thank. A study of this sort is a process and, as it goes forward and initial assumptions crumble and seemingly straightforward objec- tives ramify, the complexity of the process requires an ever-larger network of helpers. This study was organized around two major activities.* The first was a workshop on the prospects of the science underlying the development of new contraceptives, held at the National Academy of Sciences in December 1994. We were honored to have as invited presenters at that workshop: Nancy Alexander, Deborah Anderson, Mina Bissell, William Bremner, Egon Diczfalusy, Mahmoud Fathalla, Susan Fisher, Judah Folkman, Frank French, Henry Gabelnick, David Garbers, Walter Gilbert, David Hamilton, Jeffrey Harris, John Herr, Bertil Hille, Aaron Hsueh, William Lennarz, Bruce Lessey, Jiri Mestecky, Walter Moos, Andrés Negro-Vilar, Bert O’Malley, David Page, Paul Primakoff, JoAnne Richards, Patricia Saling, Neena Schwartz, Roy Smith, Allan Spradling, Robert Stein, Jerome Strauss, Paul Van Look, Geoffrey Waites, Debra Wolgemuth, and Lourens Zaneveld. The second major activity was a workshop on the opportunities, challenges, and strategies for private-sector participation in contraceptive research and devel- opment, held at the Academy in May 1995. This activity consisted of panel discussions and presentations by representatives from the legal, policy, regula- tory communities, and large and small pharmaceutical industry, and our thanks *Please see Appendix E for list of participants and their affiliations. v Copyright © National Academy of Sciences.
