Rationale<\/h2>\n
The formation of this RIG will create an infrastructure to fuel collaborative studies of HIV, bringing together individuals engaged in stigma-related and stigma-relevant research, practice, pedagogy, and service.<\/p>\n
Main Objectives:<\/h2>\n\n- Promote stigma awareness and education.<\/strong> The group will promote deepening understanding of the etiology and impacts of stigma through guest lectures, journal club discussions, and interactive workshops. Bringing together individuals across diverse disciplines, career stages, and experiences, we aim to be a learning resource for each other, and back to our communities.<\/li>\n
- Build collaborations to support trainees, researchers and practitioners seeking to understand and address stigma.<\/strong> Through monthly meetings and periodic events, the group serves as a space for people to come together and receive feedback on works in progress, make connections, and share resources. The group aims to be responsive to the needs and interests of its membership, supporting their professional advancement.<\/li>\n
- Foster innovative approaches to measuring and intervening on stigma in scholarship and grant writing.<\/strong> Through the activities of these first two objectives, the group aims to support its membership in identifying and addressing critical areas for growth in the field of stigma research and practice. The group serves as a place to workshop ideas for papers and grants at all stages of development as well as collectively sharing opportunities for funding of stigma-related projects and dissemination.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
