HIV Vaccines & Microbicides Resource Tracking Working Group

The HIV Vaccines and Microbicides Resource Tracking Working Group was established in 2004 to generate and disseminate high-quality, detailed and comparable data on annual investments in preventive HIV vaccine and microbicide research and development and policy and advocacy activities. These data can be used to monitor current levels of effort; identify trends in investment, spending, and research focus; identify areas needing more resources and effort; assess the impact of public policies aimed at increasing investment in new prevention technologies; and provide a fact base for policy advocacy on R&D investments and allocations. The Working Group is comprised of the AIDS Vaccine Advocacy Coalition, the Alliance for Microbicide Development, the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative, and the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS.

The Working Group has produced several publications and presentations, all of which are available on the Group's homepage.
