Title: Developing a Database for STI Preventatives to Facilitate Information Exchange 2. Background Information: The work required for this requirement is to facilitate coordination between relevant stakeholders in MPT (contraceptive products that also prevent against HIV and or STI infection) development, including product developers, funding agencies, regulatory bodies, academic researchers, the media, and the public in a product neutral capacity to aid in the development of novel MPTs. The MPT field is broad, diverse, and multidisciplinary. To maximize the efforts of contraceptive product developers, including NIH grantees, it is vital need to bring in other developers and better inform the existing developers and other stakeholders. One way to do so is to gather information on the current STI preventives being developed, as IMPT has already done for MPTs, so that researchers have a place to gather ideas of APIs to incorporate into MPTs. This coordination of information will ensure that field-specific silos are minimized and the MPT development field is in constant productive advancement.
