Description:

To contribute to the creation, dissemination and use of health-related knowledge, and to help develop and maintain Canadian health research capacity, by supporting original, high quality projects proposed and conducted by individual researchers or groups

The HIV/AIDS CBR Program assists community-based organizations, non-governmental organizations and institutions in developing the knowledge necessary to carry out their HIV/AIDS work in the most effective manner, and in creating the expertise within these communities to conduct their own research. The HIV/AIDS CBR Program is aimed at undertaking research that benefits Canadian communities in the fight against HIV/AIDS. The impact of the proposed research on Canadian communities must be clearly demonstrated. Community-based research involves community members in all stages of the research process from the definition of the research question to ensure relevance to the community, to capacity-building and integration of community members in conducting the research as well as promoting the active participation in the development and implementation of the dissemination strategy. In addition to these principles, CBR espouses the same values of methodological rigor and ethical review as other research approaches. The HIV/AIDS CBR Program will support knowledge development and capacity-building initiatives of relevance to communities engaged in the fight against HIV/AIDS. There are two different streams of activities, each with distinct budgets, within the HIV/AIDS CBR Program - Aboriginal and General.
