Description: |
The OHTN Research Operating Grant was developed to help realize the mission of the OHTN ? to improve
the health and well-being of people living with and at risk of HIV in Ontario through a network that
promotes research and evidence to drive change. This will be accomplished by funding research that: a) is
relevant to one or more of the populations most affected by HIV in Ontario (people living with HIV, gay
men and other men who have sex with men, African, Caribbean and Black men and women, Aboriginal men
and women, men and women who use drugs, and women who have unprotected sex or share drug
equipment with people from these populations); b) has the potential to have a measurable impact in the
short to medium term (i.e., in the next 2 to 5 years); and c) is scientifically rigorous. Community engagement in HIV research is viewed by the OHTN as an essential mechanism to ensuring that research is relevant to community needs. The funding policy Funding Research with Real-Life Impact reinvigorates the OHTN?s commitment to meaningfully engage community members throughout the research process. |
