A national strategy for the HIV vaccine research and development (R & D) should be formulated as soon as possible so as to ensure a sound progress in this field, urges a report by the Academic Divisions of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CASAD), the top national advisory body in science and technology. Entitled "A Proposal on China's Strategy of the HIV Vaccine Research and Development," the report has recently been submitted to the State Council, the country's cabinet. This is the third report by CASAD on the issue. The other two had been presented to the central government in 2000 and 2004 under the title of "Checking the Rapid Spreading of AIDS in China" and "Suggestions on the Enhancement of the Anti-AIDS Educational & Behavioral Intervention."
