 30 minutes
OBJECTIVES
By the end of this session, participants will have:

 Explained the fundamental principles that should underlie the relationships among trial
funders, sponsors, and implementers and all other stakeholders engaging in biomedical HIV
prevention research.
METHODS
 Group game
 Large group discussion
MATERIALS REQUIRED
 GPP Principles Descriptions
 GPP Principles Bingo Boards
 Container for GPP Principles Descriptions, e.g., a hat, basket, or bowl
 Flip chart
 Markers
 Tape
 Scissors
 Prize(s) for winners (optional)
TO PREPARE FOR THE SESSION
 Thoroughly review Section 2 of the GPP guidelines.
 Read through the entire training session, and ensure that you are comfortable with and

TO CONDUCT THE SESSION
STEP 1:
 Pass out a GPP Bingo board to each participant, and tell participants that they are going to
play a game called “GPP Principles Bingo”, based on the guiding principles discussed in
Section 2 of the GPP guidelines.
 Hold up the container, and explain that each slip of paper inside it has a description of a GPP
guiding principle.
 Tell participants that you will be drawing descriptions from the container, one at a time, and
reading them out loud.
 Those who can name the corresponding GPP principle should raise their hand, and you’ll call
on the first person whose hand you see.
 If their response is correct, all participants should mark the corresponding “principle” on
their card with an “X”, filling in only one space at a time.
 Explain that participants can place an “X” on any square that says “free bingo space”.
 The first person to form a winning pattern—a straight line horizontally, vertically, or
diagonally—should call out “Bingo!”
 Ask if there are any questions about the instructions.
STEP 2:
 Start the game by drawing the first piece of paper.
 When a participant offers an answer, ask the other participants for an example of how that
principle applies to a situation at their trial site, and facilitate a discussion.
Example for Step 2:
For the GPP principle “transparency”, a participant response could be as follows:
The trial protocol is summarized for CAB members in a way that is easy to
understand.
.
STEP 3:
 Continue the game until someone wins or all papers have been drawn.
STEP 4:
 Congratulate the winner of the game and all participants for their valuable input.
 Award any prizes.
 Debrief by asking for one or two volunteers to share their thoughts about why they think
these principles were chosen to be the guiding principles of GPP.
 Ask the group if there are any outstanding questions or comments and address them as
needed.

This principle is demonstrated when stakeholders communicate and act in ways that
value and honor one another’s perspectives and realities.
This is the most basic and essential guiding principle that underlies human
relationships, even those outside the context of biomedical HIV prevention research.
This principle requires that stakeholders develop competency in understanding
socio-cultural issues in a particular location.
This principle requires that stakeholders develop competency in understanding
research processes.
This principle requires adherence to scientific processes so that trials achieve
valid results.
The ethical aspect of this principle requires consideration of broader societal and
ethical issues.
This principle means that if stakeholders have questions or concerns about a trial,
they should receive clear and understandable information.
This principle indicates that research teams make it clear to what extent community
stakeholders can contribute to a biomedical HIV prevention trial.
This principle indicates that criticism of trials from community stakeholders must be
fair and claims should be based on actual deviations from ethical guidance
documents.
