Title
Community Research Initiative (CRI)
Date
1990-2004
Description
The Community Research Initiative was a non-profit community based AIDS research centre dedicated to the exploration of new methods for treating HIV and AIDS and its associated opportunistic diseases, working in conjunction with people with HIV, primary care physicians and recognised leaders in the clinical research and treatment of AIDS. CRI's main aim among others was to conduct clinical research on experimental therapies for HIV related diseases as well as developing private funding for the study of scientifically promising therapies for HIV related diseases where there are no sponsors for such research.
Sonnabend worked for the CRI as Board of Directors of the Institutional Review Board, and the Scientific Advisory Committee. The CRI dissolved in 1990 due to financial constraints and was re-established as the Community Research Initiative on AIDS in 1991. Sonnabend left the CRIA due to misunderstandings between other directors.
These papers have been split into CRI Clinical Trials Reports and Papers, Administrative correspondence, Grant applications, news clippings and marketing/outreach material.
