Subject: AVAC launches call for applications
 for 2012 Advocacy Fellowships


May 16, 2011

Dear Advocates,

AVAC is pleased to announce the call for applications for the 2012 HIV
Prevention Research Advocacy Fellowship Program. This update provides
information on the Advocacy Fellowship program and details for an upcoming
informational call to be held on Wednesday, June 1.

The submission deadline for the Advocacy Fellowship applications is Monday,
July 15, 2011.

– to download application materials.

The goal of AVAC’s HIV Prevention Research Advocacy Fellowship is to
expand the capacity of civil society advocates and organizations to
monitor, support and help shape biomedical HIV prevention research and
related implementation
 worldwide. The Advocacy Fellowship is guided by the
belief that effective and sustainable advocacy grows out of work that
reflects organizational and individual interests and priorities.

The Advocacy Fellowship provides support to emerging and mid-career
advocates in developing countries to design and implement advocacy projects
focused on biomedical HIV prevention research activities in their countries
and communities. The Advocacy Fellowship is primarily focused on countries
where biomedical prevention research is planned or ongoing. Advocacy
Fellows carry out their projects while based at host organizations that are
active partners in the Fellowship process.

HIV Prevention Research Advocacy Fellows are:

-Emerging or mid-career community leaders and advocates interested in
building their skills in understanding and advocating around HIV prevention
research
-Individuals with some experience or
 education in the areas of HIV and
AIDS, public health, international development, women's rights,
communications and/or advocacy
-Based in developing countries where biomedical HIV prevention clinical
research is planned or ongoing or medical male circumcision for HIV
prevention is being introduced
-Able to collaborate with English-speaking mentors

Fellows receive training, full-time financial support and technical
assistance to plan and implement a targeted one-year project within host
organizations working in HIV/AIDS and/or advocacy. The Fellowship builds
the capacity of both the Fellow and the respective host organization in HIV
prevention research advocacy.
