Strategic Research Initiative on Reproduction

Description

Cambridge Reproduction is a strategic research intiative that explores the urgent challenges posed by reproduction today.

The initiative facilitates close engagement between the arts, humanities and social sciences, biology and medicine. By approaching reproduction collectively and across disciplines, it offers fresh perspectives on broad issues which range from global policies to those which affect individuals, families and populations.

Statement of vision and goals:

1. to raise the profile of research into reproduction in Cambridge, emphasising both the strength and breadth of expertise, to build a world-leading centre of excellence;
2. to integrate researchers in different departments and institutes at all levels in order to promote cross-fertilisation of ideas, and to develop new interdisciplinary research, teaching initiatives and policy developments;
3. to establish links with overseas partners and explore the local needs for Centres of Excellence related to reproduction;
4. to foster translational research and facilitate increased engagement with industry;
5. to attract major philanthropic donations and external research funding; and
6. to lobby for reproductive research and maternal and family health, and to inform and influence governmental legislation (e.g. HFEA) and NGO policies at home and abroad.
