I’m here to help any AIDS Service Organization, or person living with HIV, develop ideas for HIV Community Based Research projects in BC.

Effective April 1, 2012, Positive Living BC will continue to offer CBR Facilitation as one of the many support services provided for people living with HIV in BC. I am pleased to brainstorm ideas, assist with funding applications, help plan a Community Forum to discuss research findings, and provide technical advice for CBR projects when warranted. I will also broker a relationship with an academic partner appropriate to your project idea.

Contact me anytime to talk about YOUR idea!

Terry Howard, Director of HIV Community Based Research at Positive Living BC
