Improving Collaboration
To improve scientific collaboration and reduce duplication of efforts, the Enterprise expert working groups
provide specialized forums for discussion and collaboration among leading scientists in each area. In addition,
through its recommendations regarding intellectual property, the Enterprise seeks to overcome roadblocks that
hinder the sharing of essential information and materials.
Because the successful development of an HIV vaccine will depend on many outside the scientific community,
the Enterprise also convenes meetings of political leaders, funders, community organizations, and other
stakeholders to educate them about the scientific plan and encourage new resources and efforts devoted to
achieving the scientific plan priorities.
