Research & Evaluation

Translating research into action.

We partner with the Center for Health Policy and Inequalities Research at Duke University (CHPIR) to compile data and conduct research on the impact of HIV on the South. We translate this research into action by using it to support our federal policy priorities, helping our advocacy networks develop evidence-based solutions for their states, and sharing our findings with PLHIV and their allies through presentations across the country.

We are also working with CHPIR to identify scalable and fundable interventions that are effective at reducing HIV-related stigma and capable of being replicated elsewhere in the South. We are currently piloting two interventions: LEAD Academy and Younity Workshop.
