Funding for male contraceptive research and development is extremely limited, so it is imperative that we capitalize on the existing body of knowledge, while adding to it.
We highlight the work that we have funded and contributed to on this page, and share some additional external publications that can help inform the future of male contraception.
Market Publications
Understanding people's perceptions about male contraception is critical in informing research and development activities. These research activities help the research community to not only understand what people are thinking about with respect to male contraceptives, but also help shed light on the drivers behind these perceptions. They are vital in developing impactful advocacy efforts.
International Market Research Study
Outsight4Development, Alstonia Impact, and DesireLine conducted a robust market research study across 7 distinct markets around the world to develop an understanding of the demand for male contraception, men’s interest in and preferences for novel forms of male birth control, and the level of trust that female partners have in their male partners to use birth control. Funding for the male respondent research was supported by funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The Male Contraceptive Initiative provided funding to cover female partners of male respondents.
Findings from this nationally/regionally representative study show that there is significant interest for novel male contraceptives among men and women. Men have interest in trying a new male contraceptive within a year of its availability, and higher interest in trying a new male contraceptive at some point. Female partners surveyed have high trust in men taking contraception, and have high interest in male partners taking contraception.

Consumer Research Study
Male Contraceptive Initiative led a study to identify unmet needs and satisfaction with current contraceptive methods among a sample of men across key market segments. To the best of our knowledge, this is the largest survey in the United States in the last ten years exclusive to sexually active men ages 18-44 to better understand their attitudes, needs and motivations regarding the future of male contraception as a family planning method.

What About Methods for Men? A Qualitative Analysis of Attitudes Toward Male Contraception in Burkina Faso and Uganda
Male Contraceptive Initiative provided grant funding for this publication, derived from qualitative data taken from focus group discussions with 80 men aged 23–67 and 398 women aged 15–50 conducted in Burkina Faso and Uganda in 2016. It concludes that the acceptability of new male methods among most participants in the two countries indicates a potential demand for male contraceptives. Options should include a variety of method characteristics to maximize choice, engage men, and support men and women's contraceptive needs.

Scientific Publications
We both author and provide funding support for the development of scientific publications that can assist in providing a more holistic view of the male contraception field.
Heather L. Vahdat, Logan M. Nickels, Kevin Shane, David Serfaty, Regine Sitruk-Ware, "The role of advocacy in sustaining male contraceptive research and development." Andrology, 2024.
Novel male contraceptives have been in development for over half a century, but research and development have faced significant funding challenges. Initially supported by the pharmaceutical industry, the field is now primarily sustained by nonprofit, non-governmental, and government agencies such as the International Consortium on Male Contraception, the Male Contraceptive Initiative, the Population Council, the World Health Organization, and the US National Institutes of Health. These organizations also advocate for male contraception through market research, public education, and policy efforts. However, as potential products progress to more expensive clinical stages, they encounter funding obstacles that may prevent them from reaching market approval. For these innovations to succeed, substantial support from philanthropic entities, impact investors, and the pharmaceutical sector is crucial.

Globally, nearly half of all pregnancies are unplanned. Male contraceptives offer the potential to decrease unintended pregnancy and introduce contraceptive equity, but decades of research have yet to bring a novel product to market. New funding avenues from the philanthropic sector seek to stimulate research in male contraceptives through investments, grants, and support for trainees alongside other programs that encourage product development and ultimately commercialization. This Forum outlines the purpose of and funding opportunities provided by Male Contraceptive Initiative (MCI), a funding agency and non-profit focused on the advancement of non-hormonal, reversible contraceptive technologies for those who produce sperm.

In this paper, Male Contraceptive Initiative's executive team makes the case that, by engaging those with deep technical expertise in the field of male contraception as well as thought leaders from other fields of practice, design-thinking offers an opportunity to identify potential strategies, including nontraditional approaches, capable of driving the product development process forward, in a faster and more efficient manner.

Male Contraceptive Initiative's Logan Nickels co-authored this paper seeking to make a case can be made that use of a male contraceptive, even one associated with a very small risk of serious side effects and even death, is justifiable in a risk-benefit analysis as long as the overall risk to a given couple, the ‘‘shared risk,” is at or below the risk of currently available combined hormonal contraceptives or unintended pregnancy.

The findings of this paper co-authored by Male Contraceptive Initiative's co-founder Dr. David Sokal asserts that, even under conservative assumptions, the introduction of a male pill or temporary vas occlusion could meaningfully contribute to averting unintended pregnancies in a variety of contexts, especially in settings where current use of contraception is low.
