- explore the potential and use of interdisciplinary research in HIV/AIDS.
- foster the development of partnerships and capacity across research, community and
policy sectors.
- foster the development and learning in a broad range of health research disciplines
that have the potential to inform and influence policy, practice and programs in HIV/AIDS.
The event brought together 58 graduate students, community members, and junior public health and policy people, and 35 academic faculty and community facilitators from across Canada.
