PubHealth.info® (a subsidiary of PakMed) presents scientific information mainly based on abstracts of articles published on a variety of public health issues/topics, particularly encompassing population planning, disease prevention, maternal and child health, and communicable and non-communicable diseases (like HIV AIDS, malaria, etc) that are affecting a significant portion of population in developing and developed countries. Here you can find abstracts of articles published on a variety of public health topics under category "Contraception (Birth Control) and Family Planning". Contraception (birth control) is a regimen of one or more actions, devices, or medications followed in order to deliberately prevent or reduce the likelihood of a woman becoming pregnant or giving birth. Therefore contraception is the utilization of various and sundry surgical procedures, devices, practices, agents, or drugs with the intention of preventing conception or impregnation (pregnancy). Methods and intentions typically termed birth control may be considered a pivotal ingredient to family planning. Birth control is a controversial political and ethical issue in many cultures and religions, and although it is generally less controversial than abortion specifically.

ABSTRACT

USAID expanded the Contraceptive Development: Reproductive Immunology project in 1988 which became the

Contraceptive Development and Research in Immunology (CD&RI) project. In 1991, a team reviewed relevant

documents, spoke to personnel from USAID and the Government of India (GOI), administrators, and researchers. It

also visited 3 of the 4 collaborating Indian institutions in Lucknow, in Chandigarh, and in Bangalore. They found

collaborative research proposals to be theoretically very sound and scientifically significant. Further they believed

researchers involved in the CD&RI Project to be qualified and motivated and indeed conducting proposed research.

In addition, a good infrastructure and research capabilities predominated the 4 research institutions. Since the US

and Indian secretariats did not inform participating institutions about decisions of the Joint Working Group, center

plans and research proposals were delayed. This lack of communication also influenced the quality of proposals

submitted. Implementation problems included defining the structure for managing day to day activities and

submitting center plans and grants took a long time. Other activities that took longer than expected were peer reviews

of the collaborative research proposals, particularly in immunology, and execution of the Participating Agency

Services Agreement with the Office of International Health at the US National Institute of Allergies and Infectious

Diseases. The definition of intellectual property rights, procurement of US scientific equipment, and transfer of funds

to GOI by USAID/India remained implementation problems. Even though the Joint Working Group specifically gave

the CD&RI Secretariat instructions, it did not name what party should implement the instructions. Thus 3 years after

inception, the CD&RI Project was still in the beginning stages. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT3T 1553-06)
