Overview
The Reproductive Health Technologies Project is a small organization that works to advance reproductive health policies by identifying and investigating emerging topics and disseminating its findings to partner organizations, opinion leaders, and the public. The Project often focuses on technology developments in reproductive health and informs the reproductive health community of new developments; it also uses research to develop public affairs materials for colleague organizations, often playing a behind-the-scenes role in advocacy. The Project played an important role in the successful effort to make emergency contraceptive pills available over the counter.

for general operating support
The Reproductive Health Technologies Project works to advance reproductive health policies by identifying and investigating emerging topics—for example, the concern that birth control pills may pollute water—and disseminating its research and findings, including guides for effective messaging to partner organizations, opinion leaders, and the public. The Project develops research-based public affairs materials that can be used by other organizations, often playing a behind-the-scenes role in advocacy efforts such as making the morning after pill (emergency contraception) available over the counter.
