  2. AGENDA The Global Health Research Initiative (GHRI) GHRI programs Overview of the Canadian HIV Vaccine Initiative (CHVI) GHRI and CHVI – where is the link? Q&A

  3. GHRI GHRI Programs Overview of CHVI GHRI-CHVI? Q&A GHRI was founded in 2001. It is a partnership of three Canadian government agencies: Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) International Development Research Centre (IDRC) IDRC is the “host” agency

  4. GHRI GHRI Programs Overview of CHVI GHRI-CHVI? Q&A GHRI grants support 3 complementary areas of action: research (a range of multi-disciplinary approaches, including action-research, participatory research, RCTs, etc.) strengthening research capacity (learning-by-doing) knowledge translation (teams with decision-makers)

  12. GHRI GHRI Programs Overview of CHVI GHRI-CHVI? Q&A The Canadian HIV Vaccine Initiative (CHVI) Government of Canada (CIDA, CIHR, HC, IC, PHAC) and Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation partnership Initiated in 2007 to help accelerate efforts to develop a safe, effective, affordable and globally accessible HIV vaccine

  13. GHRI GHRI Programs Overview of CHVI GHRI-CHVI? Q&A CHVI objectives are: To advance the basic science of HIV vaccine in Canada, and low-and-middle-income countries To support the translation of basic sciences discoveries into clinical trials To address the enabling conditions (regulatory, community) To advance the development of related technologies To improve the efficacy and effectiveness of HIV Prevention of Mother-to-Child (PMTCT) services in low-and-middle-income countries
