AIM conducts research independently and in partnership with outside organizations and researchers to develop and share evidence-based immunization policies and practices. (Bio-sketch)
Lists of AIM research activities showing summaries and outcomes are provided below.
On October 24, 2009, President Obama signed a
proclamation declaring the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic a National Emergency.
The development and implementation of H1N1 vaccination campaigns has placed a
tremendous strain on state, local and territorial public health immunization
programs. Specifically, the 64 state, territorial and urban area federal
immunization grantees are dedicating staff and resources to H1N1 vaccine
management and distribution. At this time of critical response to the H1N1
pandemic, AIM recommends that research activities not specifically related to
federal immunization grant activities (including surveys and interviews with
immunization program managers and staff) be suspended. If you have any
questions, please contact the AIM Research Coordinator, Katelyn Wells at

Conducting Research in Partnership with AIM
Researchers interested in partnering with AIM to benefit from the experience and expertise of state, territorial and local immunization programs should complete the Research Collaboration Request Form below.
Conducting Surveys or Interviews of Immunization Program Managers
Researchers interested in surveying or interviewing immunization program managers are strongly encouraged to participate in the AIM Survey/Interview Screening and Recommendation process. Surveys and interview requests that have received a recommendation from AIM are more likely to be completed by immunization program managers as they demonstrate value to AIM members.
