About us
The Initiative for Vaccine Research (IVR) was originally conceived by WHO and UNAIDS with the aim of reinforcing linkages between vaccine research and development and other components of immunization. It is housed within the Immunization, Vaccines & Biologicals Department which is part of the Family and Community Health Cluster at WHO.
The Role of IVR is:
- to provide a source of guidance and vision for the world-wide vaccine R&D efforts,
- to contribute to a global agenda with other partners and identify the specific roles of WHO/IVR,
- to advocate for R&D efforts for priority vaccines and vaccination strategies,
- to facilitate and co-ordinates clinical trials, ensuring proper scientific and ethical standards,
- to provide normative guidance, standards and reagents,
- to build capacity, provide training and facilitates technology transfer,
- to address the issues of access and introduction of new vaccines,
- to encourage partnerships.
