CFAR Scientific Working Group on Intersectionality (SWGI) Symposium - Quantitative Approaches to Intersectionality in Social-Behavioral and Biomedical Research

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.
