The Emory Vaccine Center enjoys a close working relationship with several vital partners involved in public health research and with inter-departmental programs that support research and training, among them:

AIDS Vaccine Advocacy Coalition (AVAC)

Founded in 1995, the AIDS Vaccine Advocacy Coalition's (AVAC) mission is to speed the ethical development and global delivery of preventive HIV vaccines. AVAC is a watchdog, educator and advocate. We address ethical issues, critique the work of industry and government, provide education and mobilization services, and speak on behalf of affected communities with a credible, impartial, and objective voice. AVAC is a coalition of volunteer advocates and paid staff.
