Summary of Meeting
Despite the tremendous impact of vaccines to save countless lives, significant scientific and technical barriers exist that limit both their effectiveness against many diseases and their utilization, resulting in millions of needless deaths and substantial morbidity particularly in the developing world. Even with the large increase of our understanding of host immune responses, the sequencing of pathogen genomes, and other technological advances, important hurdles remain for developing and deploying vaccines for a variety of diseases. The goals of this meeting will be to bring together scientists, physicians and students from the developed and developing world to discuss the advances in (1) understanding the generation of effective systemic and mucosal immunity at a cellular and organ system level, (2) new technologies for prophylactic and therapeutic immunization, including those useful for resource-poor settings, (3) understanding the unique requirements to stimulate immunity in early childhood, (4) pre-clinical models, and (5) correlates of protection.

Originally proposed in 2003, the purpose of the Enterprise is to build consensus in the HIV vaccine field on scientific priorities, mobilize new resources to implement these priorities, and facilitate the rapid sharing of information that can advance the field as a whole. To date, the Enterprise has mobilized more than $750 million in support of its scientific plan.
