working together, highlighting how greater collaboration and communication can enable those working on the front lines to mount new and more effective responses to the HIV/AIDS crisis," said Pamela W. Barnes, the Foundation's president and CEO. "While the road ahead is sure to be challenging, learning from the experiences of our colleagues can help us to end the AIDS pandemic - and come closer to an HIV-free generation."

From the Ground Up's three volumes present a comprehensive approach to implementing international HIV/AIDS programs: building a strong foundation, establishing a framework for success, and developing pathways and partnerships. Throughout the publication there are also profiles of leaders working on the ground on the front lines of the pandemic, written by award-winning journalist John Donnelly, formerly of the Boston Globe, with photographs taken by Dominic Chavez, award-winning photojournalist at the Boston Globe. The books will be published and made widely available to the public in November 2008.

While the printed version will be a valuable resource to HIV medicine and public health practitioners worldwide, the dynamic nature of the global health field requires that frequent updates be made to keep up with the latest advances. To facilitate this process, a second phase of the project is planned that involves the creation of both a Web-based and CD-ROM version of the book. These digital platforms, expected to begin development in early 2009, will support frequent updates to the information contained in the original print version of the text, as well as the addition of a growing body of related content.

Attached documents include content information, key contributors and the roster of the project's Scientific Advisory Board.
