Grant: Dissemination Events - Priority Announcement: HIV/AIDS

The Canadian Association for HIV Research (CAHR) is the professional organization for HIV and AIDS research in Canada or by Canadians. CAHR includes all researchers and all disciplines of the scientific approaches to HIV and AIDS, for the purpose of its better prevention and treatment and ultimately for its eradication and cure. The annual CAHR Conference is the premier gathering in Canada for those working in the field of HIV, as well as policy makers, persons living with HIV and other individuals committed to ending the pandemic. The 2014 Conference programme will present new scientific knowledge and offer many opportunities for structured dialogue on the major issues facing the global response to HIV. A variety of session types, from abstract driven presentations to symposia, bridging and plenary sessions, will meet the needs of various participants. Other related activities, including ancillary meetings, the new investigator workshop and exhibitions, will contribute to an exceptional opportunity for professional development and networking. In an effort to support and facilitate knowledge translation and dissemination of the outcomes and discussions held at CAHR Conference 2014, CAHR will be working with the Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology to produce a Journal Supplement. Publishing a Conference Proceedings Supplement in this journal is a very effective means of disseminating scientific findings and materials to relevant target stakeholders. The final product will be distributed with the subsequent issue of the Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases & Medical Microbiology to CAHR members, Conference attendees, and other key HIV/AIDS stakeholders. In addition, the supplement will be highlighted in all promotional material for the Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, and will be posted on websites for both the Journal and CAHR.
