California HIV/AIDS Research Program Advisory Council

The role of the Advisory Council is to advise the University of California on the mission, goals and objectives, policies and priorities of the California HIV/AIDS Research Program.

Specifically, the Advisory Council:

  • recommends resource allocation across priorities
  • recommends program directions
  • advises on the peer review process
  • assesses the relevance of meritorious grants and recommends grants to be funded
  • evaluates the progress of selected research award programs

Advisory Council recommendations have significant impact on scientists and community members in California. Council members are intended to be a mix of experts and critical perspectives representing scientific areas and communities concerned with HIV/AIDS research. This collective perspective is essential for the development of a well-balanced program and initiatives that will best serve to advance science in HIV/AIDS.
