Many monthly, quarterly, or annual seminars, symposia and courses are fully or partly sponsored by the UW/FHCRC CFAR:
CFAR Seminar
The objectives of this monthly seminar series are to provide a forum for presenting and discussing state-of-the-art research findings in HIV pathogenesis, virology, care and treatment, and to provide an opportunity for ongoing enhanced communication and multidisciplinary collaboration among HIV/AIDS physician-investigators, molecular virologists, immunologists, microbiologists, clinicians, epidemiologists, behavioral researchers, mathematical modelers, health systems researchers, and others at the University of Washington and its affiliates. The seminar is scheduled the first Thursday of each month and is located at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center's Pelton Auditorium.
2009 AIDS & STD Research Symposium
December 9, 2009
The annual AIDS & STD Research Symposium features research presentations by pre- and postdoctoral UW STD & AIDS Research Trainees, and recipients of Developmental Awards from the UW Center for AIDS Research and STI Cooperative Research Center. The 2009 Keynote Speaker is Dr. Peter Piot. Special Guest Speaker is Dr. Dan Rockey.
Social and Behavioral Sciences Research Network 3rd National Meeting
The CFAR Sociobehavioral and Prevention Research Core (SPRC) is pleased to host the CFAR Social and Behavioral Sciences Research Network (SBSRN) Third National Scientific Meeting in October 2008. For more information, please visit the SPRC website
UW/UCSF-GIVI Joint Symposium on HIV in Women
"AIDS
2031: Looking Back to Look Forward"
September 4-5, 2008
The Joint Symposium on HIV in Women will look at the achievements and challenges of the 25+ years since the AIDS epidemic began in order to define future HIV treatments and care priorities, chart a course for future research efforts to address HIV-related issues unique to women, and generate synergy between institutions and individuals dedicated to HIV research in women.
AIDS Clinical Research Conference
The monthly AIDS Clinical Conference is designed to increase the knowledge of healthcare practitioners about HIV/AIDS. Speakers at the conferences are leaders in the fields of research and treatment for HIV/AIDS. Conference attendees gain cutting-edge knowledge of the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of HIV/AIDS conditions.

CFAR Mini-Symposium
A state-of-the-art topical research seminar presented by CFAR leadership, the CFAR mini-symposium seminar series presents speakers who are leaders in a specific area of HIV research and provides a forum for collaboration and discussion.
Winter 2008 Symposium: "Mathematical Modeling for Infectious Diseases"
Social and Behavioral Issues in HIV Research Seminar Series
The CFAR Sociobehavioral and Prevention Research Core sponsors a CFAR seminar series entitled "Social and Behavioral Issues in HIV Prevention Research." The series addresses the full range of HIV risk behavior determinants (biologic, behavioral, relational, social, and institutional), to facilitate the exchange of ideas and collaborative development of new approaches to HIV prevention.
Statistical and Epidemiological Methods in AIDS/HIV Research Seminars
Principles of HIV/STD Research
The highly successful two-week course on Principles of HIV/STD Research, which is held in July of each year, is designed to provide MD and PhD fellows and new investigators with a comprehensive overview of the current state of knowledge in specific areas of HIV/STD research. Five tracks for the course include Sociobehavioral Research, Pathogenesis, Epidemiology and Biostatistics, International Research, and Clinical Research. Topics include study design, laboratory procedures, production of instruments for data collection, and methods for data analysis. Faculty for the course are drawn predominantly from faculty of CFARs and STI CRCs throughout the US.
Operations Research Mini-Course
The one-day Operations Research Mini-Course is offered immediately following the Principles of STD and AIDS Research course at the University of Washington. This course familiarizes participants with the concepts of operations research and how it can be applied to improve STD/AIDS programs.
Viral Dynamics Journal Club
The monthly meetings are intended to introduce the concepts of viral dynamics to researchers who are conducting studies of this type, are analyzing data from studies of this type, or who would like to learn more about research in this area. The CFAR Viral Dynamics Journal Club will meet once a month at both Harborview Medical Center, focusing on examples from the hepatitis literature, and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center at Seattle Lake Union, focusing on examples from the HIV literature.
