SUMMARY:Research Assistant Earns Impact Award
DESCRIPTION:Thibaut Davy-Méndez\, photo by Amy Stern\nEach department may nominate three current masters or doctoral students or recent graduates per year for the Impact and Horizon Award.  Their research should have direct impact on North Carolina.   \nImpact Award\nOn Thursday\, April 5\, Thibaut Davy-Méndez will receive one of the 2018 UNC Graduate Education Advancement Board Impact Award for his work related to antiretroviral therapy resistance.  Of particular import was his contributions to a study whose findings were presented at the 2017 Conference Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI): resistance to newer classes of antiretroviral drugs was significantly lower than older classes of drugs.  These findings\, Davy-Méndez believes\, will help UNC HIV care providers inform their clinical practice. \nCFAR Connection\nA Research Assistant with the UNC CFAR Clinical Core\, Davy-Méndez credits the support of his mentors Joe Eron\, MD\, and Sonia Napravnik\, PhD.

SUMMARY:SBSRN Networking Event
DESCRIPTION:Carol Golin\, MD\, Core Director\, and Breana Castonguay\, MPH\, Core Manager\, address the group on behalf of the SBSRN Core\nOn December 5\, the UNC CFAR Social and Behavioral Sciences Core\, in conjunction with the CODE office\, hosted their fall networking event\, focused specifically on the science of community engagement. \nA wide range of CFAR investigators\, community stakeholders\, and clinicians attended the event\, hosted each semester to provide a forum for multidisciplinary researchers to meet and network with each other. Breana Castonguay\, Core Manager\, organized and planned the event. \nAttendees learned key strategies of effective dissemination used in various public health projects via guided table discussions. This was followed by unstructured networking time\, during which people were able to discuss topics of interest and connect to new individuals on a personal and professional level. \nDanielle Haley\, presenter at the event\, shared that the event was a “fantastic opportunity to meet and exchange best practices for collaborating with community members to disseminate study findings.” Haley looks forward to “transferring these ideas to my own work and to forging new partnerships initiated by the Event.” \nThe core launched their first app to provide information about upcoming events and gather helpful data from those interested in the core’s efforts. This marks an exciting new venture into social media outreach for the SBSRN core. \nParticipants were delighted to have both structured and free time to mingle and share ideas with people working in the field of HIV/AIDS research and community engagement. \nKate Macqueen and Emily Namey from FHI 360 discuss art and theatre with their small group.\nBruce Curran\, Adjunct Professor of Journalism at UNC\, reflected that the “discussion reinforced my long-held belief that our messages are most effective when we talk not just about the facts of what we do but include the passion of why we do it”. \nTopics covered at the event included: \nArt and Theater – Kate MacQueen\, UNC CFAR & FHI 360\, and Emily Namey\, FHI 360 \nSocial Media and Journalism – Seth Noar\, UNC School of Journalism & Laura Oleniacz\, UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center \nVirtual Dissemination – Kemi Amola and Danielle Haley\, HPTN 064 The Women’s HIV Seroincidence Study (ISIS) \nPhotovoice Forum and Fashion Show – Alex Lightfoot\, UNC School of Public Health & the Center for Health Promotion and Diseases Prevention (CDC)\, and Allison Matthews\, UNC Institute for Global Health and Infectious Diseases and UNC Department of Social Medicine \nGlobal Dissemination – Wendee Wechsberg\, RTI International

SUMMARY:FHI 360 / CFAR Brown Bag Event
DESCRIPTION:CFAR Director Dr. Ronald Swanstrom welcomes everyone to the event!\nOn October 14th\, senior researchers from FHI 360 and the UNC CFAR gathered for a brown bag lunch event to explore ways that the two organizations can expand their collaborations and offer support to each other in their HIV research and clinical efforts. \nKatie Mollan explains the services offered by the CFAR Biostatistics Core.\nKate MacQueen\, Senior Scientist at FHI 360 and Core Director of the CFAR Developmental Core\, shared that the idea for the event grew out of conversations with Ron Swanstrom on how “we could foster more engagement between FHI 360 scientists and UNC CFAR leadership”. MacQueen commented\, “At FHI 360 we have a long-standing tradition of brown bag lunches to communicate with each other about our work as well as to introduce established and potential partners to our in-house colleagues. This seemed a perfect mechanism to showcase what the UNC CFAR has to offer FHI 360 researchers engaged in HIV work or interested in pursuing such work.” \nRon Swanstrom\, CFAR Director\, welcomed the group to start the meeting. Kate MacQueen discussed the funding opportunities and support for researchers offered by the Developmental Core. Marcia Hobbs (pictured below)\, VIM Core Co-Director\, discussed STI testing capacity. Jeff Stringer\, CFAR International Core Director\, shared about the CFAR’s commitment to women’s reproductive health locally and globally. Carol Golin\, Social and Behavioral Sciences Research Core Director\, discussed the social and behavioral instrument database\, a valuable tool produced by the core. Katie Mollan (pictured above)\, Biostatistics Core Manager and Cam Bay\, Statistician\, offered information about the statistical consulting services the core provides. \nMarcia Hobbs addresses the group about the VIM core and STI testing capacity at the UNC CFAR.\nMacQueen noted that they had a “great turnout for lunch” and “the people who attended were very engaged\, asking a lot of questions”. The feedback she received from her FHI 360 colleagues is that “they discovered a lot about the UNC CFAR resources and gained a much better appreciation for how the CFAR can support their work”. \nPlans are in the works to invite FHI 360 HIV researchers and program managers to UNC to describe their work and brainstorm about opportunities for scientific collaboration between the two organizations. Stay tuned!
