CAHR’s 2011 Red Ribbon Award winner:
The 2011 winner of CAHR’s “Red Ribbon Award” is The Canadian AIDS Treatment Information Exchange (CATIE). It was appropriate on the occasion of CAHR’s 20th anniversary, that it recognize the staff and volunteers of CATIE as a group. From the beginning they have played a critical role in building bridges between research and people affected by HIV/AIDS.
“Information and knowledge is empowering,” Dr. Bill Cameron noted on presenting the award; “and CATIE has provided this for the good of many people who have few other means.”
Driven originally by the need to uncover new information about life-saving medicines, CATIE has evolved over the years into a world leader in the translation of complex research findings into plain language information and in the dissemination of that information throughout Canada and beyond.
