BRILLIANT Consortium work on hold
The BRILLIANT Consortium acknowledges receipt of a formal communication from USAID regarding the suspension of our work until further notice. We regret this development, as it delays our critical mission of advancing HIV vaccine research. The BRILLIANT Consortium brings together leading researchers, scientists, communities and institutions dedicated to developing an effective HIV vaccine. Our work is made possible through collaborative partnerships, including support from USAID. The search for an HIV vaccine remains one of the most urgent global health challenges. Any delays in this work impact millions of lives worldwide. We are committed to engaging with all stakeholders to ensure that this important research can resume as soon as possible. We remain deeply appreciative of the support provided by the American people through USAID and are hopeful that the suspension will be lifted soon, allowing us to continue this vital work.

Program of research will focus on utilising the existing capacity, scientific talent, and ingenuity in sub-Saharan Africa to advance the HIV vaccine field
Partners in the consortium are from 8 African countries viz. South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya, Mozambique, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe
Mainly female scientists from Africa will lead the discovery, design and testing of HIV vaccine candidates
The BRILLIANT Consortium (BRinging Innovation to cLinical and Laboratory research to end HIV In Africa through New vaccine Technology), is a Cooperative Agreement with the US Agency for International Development and kicked off in September 2023.
BRILLIANT constitutes a multi-disciplinary collaboration with partners and collaborators from Nigeria, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Mozambique, South Africa and Internationally with the overall objective of developing and evaluating HIV vaccine candidates emanating from the African continent.
We envisage that after 5 years we will have advanced at least one HIV vaccine candidate developed in Africa into early phase clinical trials that are discovery in nature that allow for further iteration and development of promising candidates
Our mission is to harness and catalyze African scientists to contribute to an African-led effective HIV vaccine
To develop a HIV vaccine pipeline that emanates from the African continent
