INNOVATION LABS

Since 2011, CoreAlign has worked with existing and emerging leaders across the country to develop proactive, innovative and forward-facing strategies for the reproductive movement.

Round 2 of the  Innovation Lab is designed to build upon foundational innovation skills practiced in our fellowship programs. The lab offers an opportunity for small teams to explore, test and implement solutions to complex, reproductive movement issues. 
​
Teams of fellowship alumni and their colleagues will identify the movement-level problem they wish to solve. Over the course of the nine-month lab, teams will self-organize a collaborative design challenge, including testing solutions, to address this problem.

During the lab, CoreAlign will provide virtual technical and coaching support to aid teams in their progress. Teams will participate in a learning community with other lab participants and share stories of their progress with the larger CoreAlign community.
​
This application cycle is now closed. Check back in the summer of 2017 for information about our next application cycle!

PROGRAM GOALS AND FEATURES

The Innovation Lab was developed in response to requests from fellowship alumni for additional opportunities to collaborate with each other to address issues within the reproductive movement. By offering this Innovation Lab, CoreAlign seeks to:
  • Facilitate collaborative problem-solving for former fellows seeking to sharpen or refine skills, in partnership with other fellows, colleagues and stakeholders
  • Foster experimentation and implementation of innovative ideas
  • Support the development of solutions that address complex and deeply-entrenched reproductive movement issues

Five key features of the Innovation Lab will support teams through this design challenge. See how Round 1 used them in the Innovation Lab Round 1 participant packet:
