Team Grant: Biomedical Research for HIV/AIDS and STBBI

The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are to:

• Accelerate discovery and innovation research that will generate the knowledge needed to advance the development of the next generation of testing, prevention, treatment and cure interventions;
• Develop skills for the future of inter- and transdisciplinary HIV/AIDS and STBBI research with training and mentorship that supports trainees and early career investigators in integrating new technologies and methods into their research;
• Advance community-centred approaches to research that meaningfully engages community members from key populations⁹ disproportionately affected by HIV in Canada and people with lived and living experience (PWLLE) throughout the research process; and
• Mobilize knowledge amongst researchers, PWLLE, industry, communities, health practitioners and decision makers to effectively co-create, synthesize and apply research findings to development of clinical and/or commercial applications and strategies that foster equitable benefit across key populations.
