Spotlight on The Strategy Lab for HIV Prevention

CHAMP's Strategy Lab is a policy think tank, an organizing body
for advocacy campaigns, and a voice of leader****p for a HIV prevention
movement based on sound research.
http://lists.mayfirst.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/strategylab
Member****p consists of researchers, service providers, policy
advocates, people living with HIV and new activists from the most
affected communities.
The Strategy Lab listserve provides a unique forum for people working
in HIV prevention to exchange ideas, share strategies, seek resources
and build campaigns.
It is often where first discussions about controversial new policies
and research data take place.
Monthly conference calls offer more in-depth investigation of the
issues raised on the listserve, where members debate and devise
campaigns to advocate for better HIV prevention policies.
The HHS Watch, a monthly watchdog e-newsletter, re****ts back from
leading scientific conferences, breaks down the difficult jargon,
investigates behavioral research from the public health arena, and
digests it for community consumption.
The HHS Watch also provides critical analysis on policy based on
available scientific data.
The HHS Watch has become a leading source of im****tant information in
the field of HIV prevention, providing the backbone upon which
advocacy is built.
This potent formula enabled CHAMP and our allies to launch a
series of campaigns, which regular readers of CHAMP News are familiar
with from the past year.
From calling attention to the inaccuracy and biases presented on
Health and Human Services website http://4parents.gov
and the Bush
Administration's "War on Condoms", to our current fight against the
CDC's Program Monitoring and Evaluation Systems (PEMS) and our demand
for more PrEP research, it is upon the fertile ground of the Strategy
Lab where the seeds of discontent are sown and the campaign blossomed.
The Strategy Lab is not an observer's s****t, so if you are
interested in becoming a member and roll up your sleeves to do some
work, send an email to
jdavids at champnetwork.org
with a description of your background and experiences to apply.
