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年的艾滋病毒/艾滋病主要基于个人行为的研究，一个新的理解已经开始出现的社会和文化因素，结构脆弱性艾滋病毒感染和形状的可能性预防和治疗。尽管宗教组织得到的研究关注相对较少，但自艾滋病毒/艾滋病开始流行以来，宗教组织一直是应对这一流行病的核心。宗教和宗教组织对艾滋病毒/艾滋病的复杂影响，在很少国家能像巴西这样强大。拟议的研究旨在：（1）对天主教、福音派新教和非洲裔巴西人宗教作出反应的多种方式进行比较分析（在政策、机构和人口层面）对巴西艾滋病毒/艾滋病的影响; 2）以经验证明这三大宗教传统中的每一个对艾滋病毒/艾滋病的重视，以及导致它们这样做的原因; 3）通过一系列个案研究，评估每种宗教传统的应对措施如何与地方社区、民间社会的更广泛的社会领域和民族国家相互作用，影响更广泛的艾滋病应对措施;四是通过比较分析，更充分地了解每一传统的宗教信仰体系或宗教教义、每一传统所展示的组织和制度结构对重要性和影响的影响，以及它们与社区、公民社会和国家相互作用和相互联系的方式，以形成更广泛的社会和政治对艾滋病的反应。该项目将在5年期间采用定性和定量相结合的方法，包括档案研究、调查、参与者观察、口述历史、深入访谈、生活史访谈和5个研究地点的个案研究，以捕捉和记录宗教组织在巴西应对艾滋病毒/艾滋病流行病方面发挥极其多方面作用的动态轨迹。鉴于该项目的范围及其评估宗教组织在该国动员应对艾滋病方面的作用的目标，广泛和深入的实地工作是必要的。
