Description
1) Objective
They are soliciting applications that contribute to development of vaginal formulations that promote optimal drug delivery within the vaginal compartment while positively supporting the vaginal milieu, and that also possess beneficial effects, even if unrelated to the API intended effect, that a user might consider desirable, such as enhancement of sexual pleasure. They anticipate identifying product-agnostic features that promote vaginal health and that broadly appeal to women to advance product development and formulations for women’s health. They welcome innovations at any stage of development that meet the scope of this call.
2) Eligibility
This initiative is open to research institutes, nonprofit organizations, for-profit companies, international organizations, government agencies, and academic institutions.
3) Location

5) Application
The application deadline is 16 December 2025.
