Symposium 2018: Closing the Gap between Rigor and Relevance

Implementation science is an emerging field focused on closing the gap between efficacious interventions and real world practice. While the HIV research community has enthusiastically embraced the motivation for implementation science, there is far less consensus on the critical approaches to successful conduct of implementation science in the context of the HIV epidemic. Many methodological issues, which have perhaps been less emphasized in traditional clinical research, are particularly salient for knowledge about implementation. External validity is as important as internal validity.

SCOPTIONS meeting: Sara Moron-Lopez, PhD

Presenter: Sara Moron-Lopez, PhD

SCOPTIONS meetings are an opportunity for junior investigators doing basic/translational HIV research (mostly using samples from HIV-infected individuals enrolled in the SCOPE/Options cohorts) to present their work and get feedback from a diverse audience of HIV investigators. Feel free to bring early data, grant Aims, ideas for collaborations, etc! We like discussion :) Presentation time, including discussion, runs usually ~50min.
