Grassroots AIDS groups create, disseminate, and interpret knowledge. Their success in these
new roles shows that traditional, top-down dissemination theories are inadequate; the debate
over marginal innovation has defined marginality too simplistically; and the scientific journal
is not the only source of scientific information. These circumstances—combined with what is
known about "boundary work" by mainstream scientists—indicate that, despite problms, AIDS
grassroots knowledge production challenges traditional definitions and boundaries of scientific
work and offers a gateway to wider democratization of science. Using a resource mobilization
approach, the authors assess whether the grassroots' AIDS knowledge production model applies
in other public policy issues, such as toxic exposure and women's health resarch .
