HIV Clinical and Public Health Epidemiology Research Training Program
The HIV Clinical and Public Health Epidemiology Research Training Program empowers students, residents, fellows and faculty to design and execute original research projects in the United States and globally; effectively initiate ethical clinical and research projects in resource poor settings; increase their awareness of global public health issues and potential for careers in Global Health or underserved areas of the United States and increase safety while traveling.
Work with your training program mentor and collaborating site mentors to: - Identify potential collaborating sites and partners
- Formulate a research question
- Design your study
- Submit IRB applications

- Analyze results
- Publish results
We are currently recruiting participants for a curriculum designed to support student, resident, and fellow HIV-related research initiatives.
