	HIV/AIDS Research HIV/AIDS Research on Youth Initiatives: Deadline extended until March 31 Are you doing work on HIV/AIDS? Do you still want to contribute a case study to the research on youth-led HIV/AIDS work? Now you can! We have received many case studies but also many requests for extensions in this project. So that everyone has a chance to participate we are extending the deadline until March 31. A group of young people from Oxfam International Youth Parliament and the Global Youth Coalition on HIV/AIDS are currently conducting a research on youth driven initiatives in the area of HIV/AIDS. This youth-led research aims at understanding the contribution of youth-led work in the area of HIV/AIDS worldwide and represents a great opportunity for sharing experience, knowledge and lessons learnt among young people working in this area. It will result in an advocacy document with evidence around the contribution that youth-led projects and programs make to be shared at the 2006 International AIDS Conference in Toronto, as part of the Toronto Youth Force process. Get Involved! You can get involved by submitting a case study of your work by March 31, 2006. To receive a survey to fill out email iypaction (at) oxfam.org.au or download the survey from http://www.iyp.oxfam.org/news/HIVresearch.asp. Later in the year you can be involved in a discussion of these case studies in order to share experience and learning between young people working on HIV/AIDS. Some case studies will be selected by regional research teams of young people for interview and publication. These will be selected on the basis of best or most interesting practices as well as diversity criteria (regional spread, gender, strategy). Projects selected for the publications will be awarded $100 USD each to further their initiatives. 10-20 projects will be selected- Mr Joel Vengo M.
