E-Learning Modules

There are excellent approaches and novel interventions that are taking place in community-based organizations across the country, which are demonstrating success in combating HIV-related issues. Yet, despite these many advances, HIV continues to persist as a significant public health threat in Canada, specifically among difficult-to-reach populations facing social and structural inequities.

To address this reality, CAHR collaborates with community members, policy makers, educators, practitioners/service providers and researchers in the development of E-learning modules. These modules are designed to support communities, students and research teams in the many aspects of HIV, community-based research, and intervention research.

Entering the World of Community-based Research

With the generous support of Gilead Sciences, CAHR developed this in-depth module for aspiring community-based researchers. In addition to offering advice for developing a funding application, the modules includes interviews with leading Canadian scientists and teachers who generously shared their top tips for incorporating the principles of GIPA/MEPA into any research endeavor.

About CAHR

With a membership of more than 1,000 researchers and others interested in HIV research, the Canadian Association for HIV Research (CAHR) is the leading organization of HIV/AIDS researchers in Canada. CAHR is the organizing body for the Annual Canadian Conference on HIV/AIDS Research (CAHR Conference).

CAHR encourages Canadian researchers to be leaders in knowledge translation and to effectively respond both to the Canadian and global HIV/AIDS epidemics. Since its founding in 1991, CAHR has promoted excellence in HIV research, including mentorship and career development of investigators entering the field.

CAHR fosters collaboration and co-operation among HIV research communities, including basic, clinical and social sciences, epidemiology and public health. CAHR also engages people living with HIV/AIDS and AIDS service organizations in ongoing dialogue and information exchange to ensure that HIV/AIDS research remains responsive to the epidemic and its interest holders.

CAHR is a registered charity.
