WEEKLY ARTICLE

The Weekly AIDS Research Community Handbook Article is now online:

The Importance of Participant Diversity in HIV Clinical Trials
http://www.researchadvocates.org/article016.htm

This article was written by Gail Broder. Gail is the Community Education
Domestic Projects Manager of the HIV Vaccine Trials Network (HVTN). A lot of
the articles on the site so far are related to diversity issues in one way or
another. If you or someone in your CAB (Community Advisory Board) is wondering
"Why do I keep hearing about the need for women and minorities to participate in
HIV research?", then this article will be a great resource. If you have an
article you would like to see published on the website, please let me know.

ADVISORY COMMITTEE FOR THIS PROJECT

I would like to put together a small group of AIDS research activists to serve
as a sort of advisory committee for www.researchadvocates.org. This would start
out as a small e-mail group, and might possibly evolve into quarterly or monthly
conference calls. If you are finding this website useful and would like to see
shape the future of this project, please drop me an e-mail at
david(at)temenos(dot)net for more information.

REMINDER: YOUR CAB MISSION STATEMENT AND BYLAWS

Has your local Community Advisory Board recently worked on a mission statement
or bylaws? If so, please send them to me! I'm going to be posting several
sample mission statments and bylaws of local CABS on the website and would love
to include yours.

As always, please let me know what's happening at your local CAB and how I can
help.

Best,

David Mariner
