Purpose
Every seven years, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) engages in a process that will help determine the focus and priorities of its global HIV clinical trials research networks. As part of this “network competition,” the NIH reviews the structure and funding of its HIV clinical research networks. A critical part of this process involves community and stakeholder input to help inform future research priorities.
The Office of HIV/AIDS Network Coordination (HANC) invites you to join conversations with Dr. Carl Dieffenbach, Director of the Division of AIDS (DAIDS) at the NIH’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) about the future of global HIV research.
Click to RegisterThis online seminar will feature a brief presentation from Dr. Dieffenbach followed by a Q&A session.
We invite you to click on the following link to provide any questions/comments that you may have in advance for Dr. Dieffenbach; these should be related to your thoughts on the network competition and future HIV research priorities. We plan to include sufficient time for questions to arise as part of the conversation.
