The internship is an opportunity to work with both IAVI and the Stop TB Partnership Working Group on New TB Vaccines (WGNV). WGNV is hosted by IAVI, and facilitates research and development of new vaccines to prevent TB by providing an inclusive forum for stakeholders to engage in scientific exchange, build consensus on key issues, and advocate for greater support and investment in TB vaccine R&D. The WGNV is an informal network of stakeholders engaged in all aspects of TB vaccine R&D and from all constituencies, including academics, product developers, clinicians, advocates, and affected communities.
The internship provides learning and the opportunity to contribute to the development of tools to facilitate communication, information-sharing, and collaboration in the field of TB vaccine R&D. The intern will support the Head of the WGNV Secretariat in implementing the annual WGNV work plan, with emphasis on projects that support Early Career Researchers and on research advocacy and communications. The intern will also have an opportunity to be engaged in planning and communications activities for the 7th Global Forum on TB Vaccines to be held in October 2024 (please note that travel to the 7th Global Forum is not included in this internship, however the intern may apply for travel support through the Global Forum process).
