BRACE: Bridging Research and Clinical Experiences in HIV Program

Are you interested in clinical or public health HIV research?

If the answer is “YES”, please consider joining the BRACE.

What?

BRACE is the Bridging Research and Clinical Experiences in HIV program, sponsored by the Johns Hopkins Center for AIDS Research.  The program will pair a junior-level public health researcher with a junior-level clinical researcher in attempts to initiate a mutually beneficial partnership.  Public health researchers will have the opportunity to observe HIV clinicians in the clinical setting.  Clinical researchers will have the opportunity to receive study design and biostatistics consultation on their research questions of interest.  The mission of the program is to plant the seeds for organic partnerships between junior HIV researchers.

Here is how it works…
