Applications are now open for the HIV Research for Prevention Fellowship Programme designed to help build journalist capacity to report on biomedical HIV prevention, and to generate high-profile media coverage of advances and challenges in prevention research, especially in communities that are heavily impacted by the epidemic.
As part of the fellowship, journalists will participate in a day and a half onsite workshop with leaders in various fields of biomedical prevention research, designed to help them better understand and report on research developments from the conference.
HIVR4P is the premier global and scientific conference focused on HIV prevention research. The conference program includes abstract and non-abstract driven oral and poster sessions on the latest research in HIV prevention science, along with high-level plenaries, symposia, debates, roundtables and satellite sessions addressing the big-picture issues confronting the field.
