title: Public- and private-sector partnerships in contraceptive research and development: guiding principles.
abstract: The objective was to review and analyze practices of preferential pricing and royalties for products resulting from collaboration between the public and private sectors. A wide variety of practices and experience exist, and collaboration depends on the product being developed and its potential markets. Guiding principles in preferential pricing, royalty provisions, and long-term collaboration are presented that can be mutually beneficial to both the public and private sector.
