New IeDEA Working Group Leadership

We are pleased to welcome new leadership for IeDEA’s Working Groups. Marcel Yotebieng, co-PI of Central Africa IeDEAis joining Jonathan Golub of IeDEA Asia-Pacific as co-Chair of the Tuberculosis and Lung Health Working Group. Chad Achenbach of NA-ACCORD and Jessica Castilho, who works with both CCASAnet and NA-ACCORD, will co-Chair the Cancer Working Group. Our new TB-Sentinel Research Network will be co-Chaired by Olivier Marcy (West Africa) and Leslie Enane (East Africa), which will begin a multiregional, prospective cohort study across six IeDEA regions in 2021.

Thanks to our outgoing co-Chairs Amita Gupta (TB and Lung Health) and Julia Bohlius and Jeff Martin (Cancer) for their many years of support.

IeDEA Grant Renewal

US NIH renews the IeDEA global consortium for another 5 years!

Between 2016-2020, IeDEA has published over 500 regional and multiregional papers, making substantial contributions to advancing the fields of HIV-related clinical and social science, epidemiology, and data methods and harmonization. Our 7 regions are ready to implement a new set of innovative research agendas that will leverage the HIV cohort databases we have been building for 15 years and the partnerships we have established with local investigators in 44 countries.

Thanks (and congratulations) to the many people around the world who have helped IeDEA to become a force for inclusive science and collaboration.
