• Support teams that are multidisciplinary in nature, or that are composed of entirely social scientists or basic scientists;
• Provide training and build infrastructure capacity for HIV vaccines discovery and related social research in Canada and in LMICs;
• Create mechanisms for teams funded under this initiative to network and share information with one another and other relevant international networks and consortia;
• Create mechanisms for ongoing learning and sharing within and among funded teams including data sharing, shared platforms and global intellectual property access mechanisms; and
• Support the production of new knowledge and the translation of research findings into improvements in health and the health care system.
