The WHO expanded research programme in human reproduction.

Abstract: The WHO Expanded Programme of Research Development and Research Training in Human Reproduction which is in the initial stages of implementations implementation out of a feasibility study of the agencies concerned with promoting research in human reproduction. The objective of the Programme is to increase understanding of human reproductive processes leading to the development of a variety of safe acceptable and effective methods for the regulation of human reproduction. Priority research areas are listed. Task forces will be set up to systematize research efforts in the priority areas establishing collaborative oriented research areas. Leading scientists working in priority areas must be brought together as the initial phase of the Programme. Research and training centers will be set up and provide a multidisciplinary research effort within a single large institution. The Programme includes a plan to establish a worldwide network of research centers concerned with clinical trials. Other components of the Programme include: increasing the provision of supplies to collaborating laboratories and scientists; an improved documentation service; and other WHO research activities in the field of human reproduction.
