Industry Liaison Forum


The Industry Liaison Forum (ILF) is an initiative of the International AIDS Society (IAS) with a mission to accelerate scientifically promising, ethical HIV research in resource-limited countries, with a particular focus on the role and responsibilities of industry as sponsors and supporters of research.



IAS-ILF and 15 other leading public and private sector organizations released a comprehensive research agenda designed to significantly advance global responses to HIV in women, girls and children.

The new consensus statement, Asking the Right Questions: Advancing an HIV Research Agenda for Women and Children, includes 20 specific recommendations to expand and improve responses to the HIV-related challenges facing women and children worldwide.

New ILF Strategic Plan 2012-2014

The new strategic plan outlining ILF’s priorities for the next three years was adopted at IAS 2011, and is available for viewing and download.



Gender in Editorial Policy

In line with the ILF's Consensus Statement recommendation that research data should be disaggregated by sex, we would like to congratulate The Lancet for adopting the Editorial Gender Policy. Notably, the Journal of the International AIDS Society (JIAS) introduced this policy earlier this year. Read more about the policy here: http://jiasociety.org/content/14/1/11.


The Red Card

The Red Card is an advocacy tool to be used at scientific conferences in order to raise awareness about sex and gender considerations in research, including methodological design, data collection and analysis of results. It is aimed at encouraging conference delegates and participants to raise the card and inquire about potential sex and gender differences and/or similarities, when these are not reported. After all, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. If you are interested in using the Red Card to promote sex and gender considerations in research, please contact us ().
