Say 🧀! Look familiar? Here’s Southern HIV & Alcohol Research Consortium - SHARC students Sophie Maloney and Abby Gracy tabling at EPI Research Day 2024!

This past February, the Southern HIV & Alcohol Research Consortium - SHARC tabled at UF HealthStreet’s 6th annual Night of Dance event to help spread the word about their mission, and alcohol through interactive games. The event took place at Bo Diddley Plaza and featured food trucks, art installations, dance and a wealth of health resources. 💃🚚🎶

Last year, the Southern HIV & Alcohol Research Consortium - SHARC, along with the Florida Consortium for HIV/AIDS Research (FCHAR), sponsored the Community, Providers and Researchers (CPR) Conference, which housed over 120 attendees, 30 posters and several university and community-based partners.

This unique event brings together community stakeholders, health care providers and researchers to cross-share information that might not otherwise be heard, which promotes community and provider perspectives into the research community. 🧑‍⚕️🤝
