Events

The goal of the Inter-CFAR Women and HIV Symposium is to identify gaps in knowledge in HIV and women’s research and develop strategies that will move the field forward. In order to accomplish this goal, we aim to generate collaborative activity between CFARs and other research networks, highlighting cutting-edge science and promoting opportunities for early career investigators.

We are pleased to invite you to “Navigating the Current Funding Environment (NIH Update, Alternative Funding, and Specific Aims Lightning Rounds),” hosted by the CFAR Mentoring Program and JFAR (Junior Faculty in AIDS Research) on August 22nd, 2025.
