Women in HIV Research Affinity Group

 

SD CFAR’s JEDI Committee launched in 2021 to solidify our JEDI efforts and promote an inclusive culture. The Committee has established a Women in HIV Research Affinity Group to provide a space to build connections, form a network of mutually supportive contacts, and offer professional development opportunities. 

This group gathers informally approximately every two months and offers career development training opportunities for affinity group members.

We welcome new members and look forward to having you join us. Participants do not need to be a member of SD CFAR to join. Please email cfar@ucsd.edu with any questions.
