Publication: AIDS Vaccine Blueprint 2006: Actions to Strengthen Global
Research and Development
International AIDS Vaccine Initiative (IAVI)
********************************************

IAVI's global team is pleased to announce the publication of the AIDS
Vaccine Blueprint 2006: Actions to Strengthen Global Research and
Development.

This publication is the latest in a biennial series of AIDS vaccine
blueprints we have produced starting in 1998. This year's Blueprint takes
a comprehensive look at the achievements and challenges facing AIDS
vaccine science and policy, and provides a series of recommendations and
related goals to move the field closer to developing a vaccine.

The AIDS Vaccine Blueprint 2006 includes:

* an assessment of vaccine candidates in the pipeline;
* a discussion of key scientific obstacles challenging the discovery
and development of a vaccine;
* an analysis of critical financial, policy, and developing country
capacity building issues that need to be addressed; and
* recommendations to speed progress on a vaccine.

The urgency to find an AIDS vaccine has never been greater. With 40
million infections worldwide and three million deaths from AIDS each
year, we need exceptional global efforts to develop and deliver better HIV
prevention tools, especially a vaccine. Bold new initiatives are
required to shorten the timeline for success. This Blueprint is a call to
the field for expanded action and collaboration.
