Join us at our premier fundraising event where we honor the people working to realize the end of HIV, tuberculosis, and hepatitis C.
TAG’s most important fundraising event of the year is the Research in Action Awards (RIAA), which honors the best and brightest activists, researchers, leaders, and scientists whose work has been integral in ending HIV, tuberculosis (TB), and hepatitis C (HCV).
The celebration will take place on October 15, 2026, at the Angel Orensanz Foundation, 172 Norfolk Street, New York City, from 6-9 p.m. We hope you can join us for a night of commemoration for the hard work we’ve accomplished to get to where we are today and a look at the work ahead.
We're happy to announce the Research in Action Awards Honorees!
