Angel Orensanz Foundation
172 Norfolk St, New York, NY 10002
6:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m.
Our Research in Action Awards return this fall! We’ll be honoring a group of the most brilliant activists, scientists, and leaders in the fight to end HIV, tuberculosis (TB), and hepatitis C (HCV), and will gather in person at the spectacular Angel Orensanz Foundation in New York City. (There will be a live stream for our friends and followers who aren’t in New York and won’t be able to join us in person.) We’re looking forward to making this year’s event even better than 2023 — and we can’t do it without you — mark your calendars now.
