National Research Strategy
AIVL’s National Research Strategy is a pioneering initiative aimed at achieving peer-led research goals over a five-year period. This strategy focuses on three core priorities:
1. Embedding Peer Leadership and Governance
2. Building Research Capacity, Capability, and Confidence
3. Enhancing Data Quality and Sovereignty
Program Timeline
The Research Strategy will be rolled out over five years, with two main phases:
1. Set Up and Start Up (2024/2025 – 2027/2028): Initial implementation and development of research activities.
2. Full Operation (2028/2029 – 2029/2030): Comprehensive tracking and evaluation of all strategic activities.
Future Features of Our Research Webpage
Our aim is that the Research webpage is a safe, accessible platform for sharing real-time information and updates on our National Research Strategy. Key features will include:
• Latest Program Updates: To keep the community informed about our research activities and milestones.
• Peer-led Research Tools: Provision of custom research tools, templates, and resources.
• Direct Participation Opportunities: A portal for people who use drugs to get involved in our research projects.
Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to advance our Research Strategy and make strides in peer-led research. Thank you for your support and involvement.
