Options for Pregnancy Termination Innovation (OPTions) Initiative

Note: This program is currently closed.

The goal of the OPTions Initiative is to support Bold Ideas with Big Impact.® We seek innovative and transformative approaches that put women and girls in control of where, when, and how they terminate their pregnancy. Our focus is to support the development and testing of new approaches to increase early access to existing abortion products and services in low- and middle-income countries and next generation methods of pregnancy termination.

Seed grants between $250,000 to $400,000 CAD are available for innovations that seek to test and develop next-generation methods of pregnancy termination, menses induction, or conception interruption over an 18 to 24 month period. Funds requested should be commensurate with the activities outlined in the proposal. Collaborative submissions among two or more organizations are welcomed.
