Grant: Dissemination Events

The Canadian Association for HIV Research (CAHR) is the leading organization of HIV/AIDS researchers in Canada. Our annual CAHR Conference has become the key venue for HIV researchers representing all research disciplines and geographical regions to present their work and engage in knowledge translation activities with their peers, as well as with people from other scientific disciplines, public and private sector representatives. Key to the success of the Conference is the ongoing role of the community given that their involvement has been a hallmark of health research and action on HIV/AIDS from the beginning of the epidemic. The 2012 Conference - to be held April 19 - 22 in Montreal -- will bring together researchers and community members together under the theme "A Turning Point in HIV/AIDS: Meeting New Challenges". Researchers and the community will work together in acquiring and understanding new knowledge, building new skills, spreading the latest research findings and promoting open and continued dialogue.
