In 1995, CONRAD established the Consortium for Industrial Collaboration in Contraceptive Research (CICCR) to help revitalize the pharmaceutical industry's commitment to developing new contraceptives. CICCR supports research and development of methods that specifically address the needs and perspectives of women, with particular emphasis on three priority areas: male methods, monthly methods for women, and vaginal methods that prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
