Overview
In addition to issuing calls and awarding grants in HIV research, the Ontario HIV Treatment Network actively promotes and conducts research in the following areas:
Community-based research by building networks among community members and academic researchers and enhancing community-based organizations’ capacity to participate in research and share its findings
Researchers are studying how employment (or lack of it) may affect the health of people living with HIV in Ontario or how the health of people living with HIV may affect their employment (or ability to find employment).
Housing, HIV and Health by partnering with a number of Ontario AIDS service organizations to conduct a longitudinal study to examine housing and health in the context of HIV
OHTN Cohort Study by collecting clinical and sociological data volunteered by people with HIV and managing researchers requests for data access to conduct HIV research
Prevention Research by issuing Strategic Applied Research and Training (START) Development Grants to increase Ontario’s capacity to conduct prevention research
