The specific objective of this funding opportunity is to fund Collaborative Centres of HIV/AIDS Community-Based Research that: • Coordinate HIV/AIDS Community-Based Research efforts between existing HIV/AIDS national organizational structures, researchers, and regional and/or provincial HIV/AIDS Community-Based Organizations; • Build Community-Based research capacity across Canada, focusing on areas with underdeveloped HIV/AIDS CBR strengths; • Provide infrastructure support to position HIV/AIDS community organizations and academic teams in order for them to develop strategic research programs that succeed in securing research funding through other opportunities; and • Promote the creation and translation of new evidence that is relevant to communities so that it may positively impact the response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
