Dr. LaRon E. Nelson (Yale School of Nursing) named as HPTN 096 Study Protocol Co-Leader  The HIV Prevention Trials Network (HPTN) Scholars Program seeks to increase opportunities for scientists from groups underrepresented in HIV prevention research. Based in part on their performance as scholars, two emerging researchers were recently named first-time protocol co-chairs for two HPTN studies in development. Dr. Tonia Poteat will co-lead HPTN 091 along with Dr. Sari Reisner, while Dr. LaRon E. Nelson will co-lead HPTN 096 along with Drs. Robert Remien and Chris Beyrer. Building on lessons learned from HPTN 073 and HPTN 078, HPTN 096 will test an integrated, HIV status-neutral, population-level health equity approach to reducing HIV incidence among black men who have sex with men in the southern United States by increasing rates of HIV testing, pre-exposure prophylaxis uptake and adherence, and viral suppression.

FELLOWSHIP OPPORTUNITIES: Recruitment for CIRA's highly successful fellowship programs is underway  The Yale AIDS Prevention Training Program and the Research Education Institute for Diverse Scholars (REIDS) are now accepting applications. Through these CIRA-supported fellowship programs, new scientists are equipped with the skills to advance prevention research and to address future challenges of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Fellows will benefit from mentorship from top HIV researchers conducting innovative and cutting-edge research to eliminate HIV disparities, integration with the CIRA community, and a network of over 100 past HIV Fellows from around the world, who have gone on to top-tier universities and have received numerous federally funded research grants. Our two training programs have generated over 1200 peer-reviewed publications and over 200 funded grants since 2008.
For more information and application, visit CIRA Training.
CIRA Peer Review Program  Are you planning to submit a grant application? Do you have a manuscript in progress? Are you working on a presentation for a conference? Increase your chances for success by having your work peer-reviewed!
Why CIRA peer review? What are the benefits?
- The spirit of our program is one of collegiality and respect; it is constructive rather than evaluative in nature
- The investigator or author receives constructive feedback from a multidisciplinary group of colleagues with relevant expertise
- It facilitates a discussion on how to communicate the content more clearly and effectively
- The process allows the investigator or author to practice how to respond to reviewer feedback
- The review sessions connect the investigator or author to a useful network for expanding knowledge and exploring potential collaborations across disciplines
- It provides input on the relevancy of the proposal/manuscript/presentation to the funding agencies/mechanisms, journals, and audience
Email Katie Doucet ([email protected]) for questions or to schedule a Peer Review session. Requests for peer review must be submitted 4 weeks prior to the requested review date.
Research Snapshot Series  CIRA's Research Snapshot series features one page summaries of completed, peer reviewed and published studies conducted by our affiliated scientists. The summaries describe the reason for the study, the key findings, and implications for practice and policy, presented in plain language. Each of the briefs also include a link to a published article in a peer reviewed journal that derives from the featured study.
If you are a CIRA Affiliate and interested in submitting a brief for publication or just want to discuss the process, contact Pete Donohue, [email protected].
