Action: Call for Proposals
AIDS Vaccine Advocacy Coalition
***********************************
Dear Advocates,
In this update, we are delighted to announce a call for proposals for AVAC-funded projects to support Community Consultations on Good Participatory Practice Guidelines (CC-GPP). (http://e2ma.net/go/907708144/794430/28673236/goto:http://avac.org/gpp.htm )
The GPP guidelines were drafted by a multidisciplinary international group including community advocates, research staff, and NGO representatives. The group was convened by the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) and AVAC. A draft version of the guidelines were then further refined through broad consultation involving a wide range ofstakeholders.
Click here (http://e2ma.net/go/907708144/794430/28673237/goto:http://data.unaids.org/pub/Report/2007/jc1364-gpp_en.pdf ) for an updated version of the guidelines in English; UNAIDS is currently translating the document into additional languages which will be available soon.
AVAC is now soliciting proposals from local and national civil society organizations (CSOs) in countries where HIV prevention research is planned or ongoing to review, pilot and provide additional input on the GPP guidance document. We hope these grants will foster local input in setting standards for community engagement in well-designed, ethically-conducted HIV prevention trials.
Grants of US$2,000 to US$10,000 will be available for projects to be implemented over a period of eight (8) months, beginning 1 April 2008 through 31 December 2008. Funding decisions will be decided through an international, peer-review committee involving technical experts who have been involved with the development of the GPP guidelines and includes community advocates, researchers and NGO representatives.
In addition to funding, AVAC is committed to providing technical support and related materials (including a user-friendly GPP summary document which will be available on our website) to interested grantees.
The CC-GPP awards will be made to non-profit groups and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that do community-based work focused on HIV/AIDS. Priority will be given to groups with prior experience working on advocacy related to HIV prevention, prevention research, ethics and human rights-based responses to the epidemic.
