About INSIGHTS (Innovative Non-traditional healthcare Settings in HIV research lecture Series):

The purpose of this lecture series is to provide the community of HIV researchers with space and time to hear about innovative research conducted outside of traditional healthcare settings. This research includes any HIV-related interventions that can be applied to HIV research, including those that are conducted outside of the clinic (e.g., pharmacy, patients’ homes, CBO, mobile vans unrelated to the clinic, outdoors), can increase access to medications without involving clinics, or can enhance PrEP or ART adherence and persistence without clinic input.

This lecture series is funded by the UCSF CFAR Boost award.
