About the Center for Policy and Leadership

The ASRM Center for Policy and Leadership (CPL) is a nonpartisan think tank that advances reproductive health, medicine, and science by delivering fact-driven and scientifically-based legal and policy analysis to inform the public and decision-makers as they navigate the landscape of reproductive health lawmaking and policy implementation. 

Established in 2020, the CPL builds on ASRM’s longstanding role as a leading policy voice on Capitol Hill and in state capitals by conducting thoughtful investigations of administrative and legislative challenges facing reproductive health and developing analyses to overcome these challenges.

ASRM has long served as the leading voice and authority on reproductive medicine at every level of government. The CPL exists to deliver critical information and analyses on the impact of reproductive policy on patients and providers. CPL’s initiatives are designed to inform decisions that directly affect both who has access to, and how providers deliver, the care and services they deserve. The CPL is also committed to providing tools, training, and resources designed to develop future leaders in the field.
