PEPFAR Durban meeting announcement for partners

US President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief Annual Meeting - Call for

Abstracts

Registration is now open for the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS

Relief Annual Meeting/The 2006 HIV/AIDS Implementers' Meeting. The

meeting is scheduled for June 12 - 15, 2006 in Durban, S. Africa. The

focus of this year's meeting is on HIV/AIDS implementers. As such, a

significant number of meeting attendees will be from organizations

implementing HIV/AIDS programs and services with funding from sources

beyond PEPFAR. These attendees are being selected through an open

application process.

As you browse the annual meeting Web site, we want to call your

attention to the Call for Abstracts. This year, abstracts can only be

submitted online. Guidelines and eligibility criteria are available

on the meeting Web site: www.blsmeetings.net/implementhiv2006.

Call for Abstracts for Oral and Poster Presentations

Oral and poster presentation sessions will offer opportunities for

HIV/AIDS program implementers to showcase programmatic successes and

challenges and to share results of recent studies and targeted

evaluations. Both oral and poster sessions will be held during

meeting days, June 12-15, 2006. A Web-based abstract submission process is being

employed to solicit and select presentations. Abstracts for selected

presentations and posters will be compiled and published in the program book. It

is the author's responsibility to submit an abstract that has been approved by

all co-authors and their organizations. The final deadline for abstract

submissions is April 3, 2006.
