HMS CFAR Epidemiology and Outcomes Research HIV Clinical Research in Progress Meetings
This year we have a renewed interest in the HIV Clinical Research-In-Progress Conference. Due to a growing number of those conducting HIV clinical research, we have decided to increase the frequency of this meeting to three times monthly. This conference, sponsored by the Program in Epidemiology and Outcomes Research within the Harvard Center for AIDS Research (CFAR), supports HIV clinical research and provides informal, critical, and positive feedback from a multidisciplinary and experienced audience. Presentations will be by both fellows and faculty and can cover the entire research spectrum, from grant ideas to research-in-progress to ongoing data analyses. The conference has three goals: 1) to provide useful ideas and critiques to the presenter, 2) to expand ideas and expertise in research methods in the audience, and 3) to create a forum for increased collaborative research efforts. We are fortunate to have a community of clinicians, clinical and basic science researchers, and statisticians who promote a lively discussion and offer new thoughts on the research being considered.
The meetings will take place three times per month:
1) The 3rd Friday of each month, from 8-9 am during the HIV clinical research conference, as it was last year, in the Potts Conference Room (Bigelow 8th floor) at MGH .
2) The 1st Friday of each month from 9:15-10:15 am (after the regular HIV clinical conference) in the Potts Conference Room (Bigelow 8th floor) at MGH . We suspect that this will be a smaller meeting in terms of numbers of people, but no less energetic or insightful.
3) The 1st Monday of each month, from 12:30-1:30 pm in the BWH ID conference room on the 4 th Floor of Building A, in place of the usual HIV clinical conference (BWH ID division conference room). This is a new time and location and promises to increase involvement and contribution from BWH, BIDMC, Children's, DFCI, HSPH and other Longwood institutions.
We hope to have participants from both sides of town at all of these meetings. Please mark your calendars for the following HIV Clinical Research-In-Progress Conference dates:
