As with previous workshops, the 2010 New HIV Reasercher Workshop will be designed to focus on all four tracks(basic sciences/clinical sciences/social sciences/epidemiology and public health). The title,"Practical Advice on Planning a Pathway to Career Success", describes a learning event which is designed to : 1. Create new opportunities for peer-to-peer networking, mentoring and support among new researchers; 2. Host an event that can foster the emergence of a stronger, identifiable and more visitble enw researcher commujnity within and across the research communities represented at CAHR, including graduate students, trainees, post doctoral fellows, medical residents, newly appointed faculty (within two years), and new community-based researchers (within two years); 3. Engage new researchers as vibrant, contributing members with new ideas, approaches and commitment to energize Canadian HIV research and research communities within CAHR; 4. Foster networking and opportunities for collaboration among new reseachers early in their careers, both within and across research disciplines; 5. Address unique and/or common professional learning needs among new researchers that may not be addressed within traditional learning settings or that may be more effective if shared in an interdisciplinary peer context; 6. Design responsive programming that meets identified needs of CAHR's target audience.
