The Forum for Collaborative Research
formerly
The Forum for Collaborative HIV Research

We, the Forum for Collaborative Research, affiliated with the University of California Berkeley School of Public Health, are celebrating our twentieth anniversary this year. This milestone comes with changes as a result of the Forum’s achievements, and recommendations from our Executive Committee members. For the past two decades, the Forum’s work with HIV has evolved into a disease-specific model for multi-stakeholder collaboration that now addresses other disease areas including liver diseases (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, and primary sclerosing cholangitis), viral hepatitis (B and C), cytomegalovirus, among others. Thus, the Forum for Collaborative Research will now be comprised of different disease-specific Forums including:

  • The CMV Forum
  • The HBV Forum
  • The HCV Forum
  • The HIV Forum
  • The Liver Forum

At the Forum for Collaborative Research, we want this transition to be as smooth as possible, maintaining the essence and spirit that has prevailed throughout the past two decades.

The Forum for Collaborative HIV Research was founded in 1997 at the initiative of Vice President Al Gore and the Keystone National Policy Dialogue on the Establishment of Studies to Optimize Medical Management of HIV Infection; its mission has been to address emerging issues in HIV/AIDS and other diseases as a neutral and independent platform owned by all members. The now Forum for Collaborative Research continues its commitment to move the regulatory science forward through the facilitation of an inclusive neutral space where every stakeholder has an equal voice in deliberations to effect directional change.
