The strangeness contribution to the vector and axial form factors of the proton is presented for momentum transfers in the range 0.45 < Q2 < 1.0 GeV2. The results are obtained via a combined analysis of forward-scattering parity-violating elastic e-vectorp asymmetry data from the G0 and HAPPEx experiments at Jefferson Lab, and elastic {nu}p and {nu}-barp scattering data from Experiment 734 at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The combination of the two data sets allows for the simultaneous extraction of G{sub E}{sup s}, G{sub M}{sup s}, and G{sub A}{sup s} over a significant range of Q2 for the very first time. Determination of the strange axial form factor G{sub A}{sup s} is vital to an understanding of the strange quark contribution to the proton spin.
