DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): After 2 decades of mostly individual-behavior based research on HIV/AIDS, a new understanding has begun to emerge of the social and cultural factors that structure vulnerability to HIV infection and shape the possibilities for prevention and treatment. In spite of the fact that they have received relatively little research attention, religious organizations have been central to the response of HIV/AIDS since the very beginning of the epidemic. In few countries has the complex impact of religion and religious organizations in relation to HIV/AIDS been more powerful than Brazil. The proposed study seeks to: 1) Develop a comparative analysis of the multiple ways in which Catholic, Evangelical Protestant, and Afro-Brazilian religions have responded (at the policy, institutional and population levels) to HIV/AIDS in Brazil; 2) Empirically document the importance that each of these 3 major religious traditions has given to HIV/AIDS, and the reasons that have led them to do so; 3) Assess, through a series of case studies, the ways in which the responses of each religious traditions has interacted with local communities, the wider social universe of civil society, and the nation- state, in impacting upon the broader response to AIDS; and, 4) Through comparative analysis, to more fully understand the ways in which both importance and impact have been influenced by the religious belief system or religious doctrine of each tradition, the organizational and institutional structures that each exhibits, and the ways in which each interacts with and articulates itself with communities, civil society, and the state, in order to shape the broader social and political response to AIDS. The project will employ a combination of qualitative and quantitative methodologies over a 5 year period, including archival research, surveys, participant observation, oral histories, in-depth interviews, life history interviews and case-studies in the 5 study sites, in order to capture and chronicle the dynamic trajectory of an extremely multifaceted role of religious organizations in the Brazilian response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic. The extensive and in depth fieldwork is necessary given the scope of the project and its goal of assessing the role of religious organizations in the country's mobilization in response to AIDS.

描述（由申请人提供）：经过20年的基于个人行为的艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究，新的理解已经开始出现对结构易受艾滋病毒感染的社会和文化因素的出现，并影响了预防和治疗的可能性。尽管他们受到相对较少的研究关注，但自从流行病开始以来，宗教组织对艾滋病毒/艾滋病的反应一直是核心。在少数国家，宗教和宗教组织对艾滋病毒/艾滋病的复杂影响比巴西更强大。拟议的研究试图：1）对巴西的艾滋病毒/艾滋病做出了多种方式，对天主教，福音派新教徒和非洲 - 巴西宗教的多种方式进行比较分析； 2）从经验上记录了这三种主要的宗教传统对艾滋病毒/艾滋病的重要性，以及导致他们这样做的原因； 3）通过一系列案例研究评估每种宗教传统的反应与当地社区，民间社会的更广泛社会世界和民族国家的互动方式，以影响对艾滋病的更广泛反应；以及4）通过比较分析，更充分地理解了每种传统的宗教信仰和宗教教义的影响和影响的方式，每个传统的宗教教义，每个传统的组织和机构结构以及每个传统的组织和制度结构以及每个传统的互动方式与社区，公民社会以及州以及州以及国家的互动和表达自己的方式，以塑造更广泛的社会和政治对援助的社会和政治反应。该项目将在5年内采用定性和定量方法的结合，包括档案研究，调查，参与者观察，口头历史，深入的访谈，生活史访谈和案例访谈和案例研究，以捕获和编年史，并记录了宗教组织中极为替代宗教组织的动态轨迹。鉴于该项目的范围及其在评估宗教组织在响应艾滋病中的动员中的作用的目标及其目的，因此需要进行广泛的野外工作。
