Submit a Concept to HVTN

The HVTN relies upon the collective wisdom and creativity of its investigators to pursue studies that will move us closer to finding an effective HIV preventive vaccine. As such, we welcome the ideas of our members regarding ancillary studies and new concepts that are not currently being planned or pursued:
- Ancillary Studies are investigations conducted in conjunction with an HVTN protocol. They may involve one or more HVTN and/or non-HVTN investigators. Step Follow-Up studies are those relating to the Step trial and other HVTN trials (Phambili, HVTN 050, HVTN 071) that evaluated MrkAd5 HIV vaccines.
- New Concepts - We welcome new ideas that are not associated with a current protocol.
