The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases’ (NIAID) Division of AIDS funds HIV vaccine research. In an effort to educate US populations most affected by HIV about HIV vaccine research, NIAID has created the NIAID HIV Vaccine Research Education Initiative (NHVREI) to foster knowledge of and support for HIV vaccine research. As part of NHVREI, local and national non-governmental partner organizations have committed to share information and educational materials about HIV vaccine research. NIAID developed educational materials in 2006 to meet this need; however, major events in vaccine research have since occurred. NIAID does not know the extent to which these materials remain effective with the target audiences. As a result, NIAID plans to conduct formative research with populations highly affected by HIV/AIDS: African Americans, Hispanics, men from all racial and ethnic groups who have sex with men (MSM), and transgender individuals (male to female only). This formative research includes a total of 24 groups, across four geographically dispersed U.S. cities, that will gather information about existing HIV vaccine research knowledge, attitudes, and intentions. In addition to gathering this information, NIAID also plans to ask respondents: what questions they have about HIV vaccine research; what would encourage them to be more supportive of these efforts; and what type of materials they would find useful for increasing knowledge of and support for HIV vaccine research.
