The Cooper HIV/AIDS Research Training (CHART) Program is an education and training initiative that aims to expand the number of skilled and experienced HIV researchers in the Asia-Pacific region, at the same time as addressing local HIV priorities. The CHART Program operates over 12 months through a ‘learning by doing’ model that includes three intensive skill-based workshops, with individual research projects conducted in participants home countries.

Participants are provided with hands-on mentoring by Kirby Institute Academics during the workshops, and when undertaking research projects in their country.
Participants acquire the knowledge and skills that prepare them to undertake research focused on key areas of need. At the same time, they generate new local knowledge that informs regional HIV policy and practice.
The CHART Program is supported by an unconditional education grant from ViiV Healthcare. The Kirby Institute is a global partner of the Structured Operational Research Training Initiative (SORT IT), coordinated by TDR, the Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases, hosted at the World Health Organization.
