2012 — The Vietnam Authority for HIV/AIDS Control (VAAC) and national researchers, in collaboration with international organizations including FHI 360, developed a national research agenda on HIV/AIDS for the period 2012 to 2015. The agenda aims to prioritize the most urgent issues in HIV/AIDS prevention and control, to minimize duplication of research efforts for more efficient use of resources and to serve as a reference guide to help HIV/AIDS research institutions and colleagues identify research topics and plan accordingly for the next three years.
