BC Environmental and Occupational Health Research Network

The CIHR HIV/AIDS Community-Based Research (CBR) Program assists community-based organizations, non-governmental organizations and institutions in developing the knowledge necessary to carry out their HIV/AIDS work in the most effective manner, and in creating expertise within these communities to conduct their own research. The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are:
• To help ensure a reliable supply of highly qualified personnel to develop knowledge in the fight against the HIV/AIDS epidemic through community-based research; and
• To provide recognition and support to students who are pursuing a Master’s degree in a community-based research field related to HIV/AIDS in Canada.
In line with the principles of CBR, applicants and their supervisors are encouraged to consider the engagement of the community in the training plan of the applicant
