CATIE is the recipient of the 2011 Red Ribbon Award that acknowledges those who have given outstanding service to the cause of research in a way that has increased understanding of the treatment and prevention of HIV/AIDS. Presented by the Canadian Association for HIV Research (CAHR) at its annual conference last May, this is the first year the award has honoured an organization.

In presenting the award, CAHR President Dr. Bill Cameron said: "On the occasion of CAHR's 20th anniversary, we recognize the staff and volunteers of CATIE. Since the beginning they have always played a critical role in building bridges between research and people affected by HIV/AIDS."

"Driven originally by the need to uncover new information about life-saving medicines, CATIE has evolved over the years into a world leader in the translation of complex research findings into plain language information and in the dissemination of that information throughout Canada and beyond," adds Bob O'Neill, CAHR Executive Director.

"We are delighted to share this award with the many staff, board and volunteers who have assisted CATIE to strive for excellence in HIV and HCV knowledge exchange," says Laurie Edmiston, Executive Director of CATIE . "In particular, I want to thank the clinicians and HIV researchers who provide pro bono expert review for us, and the many PHAs who contribute their writing skills, design work, expert review, and their stories."
