What is the purpose of the CHVI Research and Development Alliance? How will it work?
The Government of Canada’s investment in the CHVI Research and Development Alliance complements our efforts to address the spread of HIV and AIDS in Canada and globally. The CHVI Research and Development Alliance is a network, in Canada, that brings together leading researchers from the public and private sectors, as well as the international community, to develop innovative solutions to the challenges facing HIV vaccine development. The Alliance will serve as the focal point for Canadian research, product development and technical expertise related to HIV vaccines. The Alliance will work with partners in low- and middle-income countries, particularly in Africa, to leverage local expertise and knowledge, build on cooperative research and policy initiatives, and expand needed local capacity.
