New England HIV Implementation Science Network

The New England HIV Implementation Science Network aims to improve HIV prevention and treatment in small urban areas with a high prevalence of HIV.

Network Purpose:

  • Stimulate and support research and evaluation collaborations across New England
  • Foster partnerships among agencies, stakeholders and researchers
  • Focus on implementation science in small urban areas with high prevalence of HIV

The inaugural New England HIV Implementation Science Network symposium was held on June 4, 2014. This meeting was the launching pad for a new collaboration between the Center for Interdisciplinary Research on AIDS at Yale University and the Providence/Brown Center for AIDS Research. To date, over 450 participants representing all six New England states included HIV/AIDS research scientists, advocates, health departments, and HIV service providers, as well as consumers and industry representatives have attended our four annual symposia.
