CIHRRC is an international research collaborative that includes people living with HIV, researchers, clinicians, representatives from community-based HIV service organizations, and policy stakeholders with an interest in HIV and rehabilitation research. The Collaborative was established in 2009 as a partnership among researchers, clinicians, community members and organizations in Canada and the United Kingdom (UK), originally referred to as the Canada-United Kingdom (UK) HIV and Rehabilitation Research collaborative (CUHRRC).
Since its inception, the Collaborative has expanded to include over 100 members from countries whereby individuals living with HIV experience similar types of issues related to disability and rehabilitation.
The Department of Physical Therapy is a founding partner and collaborator of CIHRRC and the CIHRRC International Forums on HIV and Rehabilitation Research.
