The People’s Research Agenda (PRA) is a global initiative driven by communities and advocates to define the most urgent priorities, research questions, and recommendations for HIV prevention research. It’s a vision for an inclusive HIV prevention pipeline using a platform that ensures the voices of those most affected by HIV are heard and integrated into HIV prevention research and development. Over 130 advocates from 23 countries helped shape this powerful agenda!
Read the Report
Led by AVAC alongside a network of partners, the People’s Research Agenda puts forward recommendations to diversify and strengthen the HIV prevention pipeline, enhance investment and financial support for HIV prevention research and development, and guide an advocacy strategy that truly addresses the needs of communities across the prevention pipeline.
The PRA is a living document developed through intentional consultative processes that used multiple modalities, including surveys, focus groups, convenings, to gather insights about the processes and products needed to actualize HIV prevention justice.
In this summary of the People’s Research Agenda, you’ll find the PRA’s core insights into the processes involved in HIV prevention research and implementation, and the types of products that should be developed through these processes.
Our Approach
The PRA’s mixed-methods approach ensures that a diverse set of voices influences its recommendations.
A reference group of advocates, researchers, funders, and affected communities will continue to support the process alongside AVAC, and key PRA messages will be shared at the HIV Research for Prevention (HIVR4P 2024) conference in Lima, Peru.
