Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR)

This symposia, hosted by the Government of Canada's health research investment agency, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), will highlight the innovation, excellence and creativity of Canada's early career HIV/AIDS researchers. Emerging leaders from across Canada will provide an overview of their research programs and highlight how their research is working to address gaps in the HIV response. They will focus on how they are putting community- and people-centered approaches at the forefront in efforts to develop and deliver evidence-based HIV/AIDS interventions, policies and practices tailored to the needs of those most impacted. Through a moderated panel discussion and an interactive Q&A period with the audience, the speakers will also reflect on how researchers who are earlier in their careers can establish research programs that have a meaningful impact and can engage community and people with lived and living experience.
