ACT Research Day is an annual event for HIV/AIDS service providers, researchers, policy makers, and other community stakeholders. This event is aimed at developing community-based research capacity, knowledge and collaborative research opportunities for front-line staff and researchers. ACT Research Day 2009 is two half-day events to discuss current research, programs and services, policy, as well as the broader political landscape that shapes the work of AIDS service organizations.

Part I: Making Sense of HIV Research is centered on building research literacy. Participants will work through common questions and concerns about epidemiology, psychosocial behavioural models, and program development in interactive workshops that draw on current and relevant research.
Thursday May 7, 2009 from 10:30am-5:00pm

Part II: Knowledge for Access is a half-day event which will engage HIV/AIDS service providers, researchers, and policy makers in moderated discussions on how current research may inform HIV/AIDS programs and policy. Panel discussions and presentations will focus on a broad range of topics including the criminalization of non-disclosure, ethics and ethics boards for community-based research, the sexual health and HIV vulnerability of gay Latino newcomers, ODSP employment supports for people living with HIV.
Thursday May 14, 2009 from 12:00pm-5:30pm
