In the months after his death, ICASO worked with partners to establish the Robert Carr Memorial Lecture at the biannual International AIDS Conference, as a tribute to his legacy. The lecture provides a platform for individuals and organizations that have advanced human rights as part of the global response to AIDS. Robert was particularly passionate about the need for cross-disciplinary research to inform policy and advocacy efforts. It is this passion that ICASO, Human Rights Watch (HRW), the International AIDS Society (IAS), and the Center for Public Health and Human Rights (CPHHR) at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health wished to honor by establishing the Robert Carr Research Award at AIDS 2014, and continued at AIDS 2016 and AIDS 2018 with the added support of Caribbean Vulnerable Communities (CVC) and the Global Form on MSM and HIV (MSMGF).&nbsp; As a group, we are carrying forward the award and memorial lecture this year at AIDS 2020 in Oakland and San Francisco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Robert Carr Research Award celebrates Robert\u2019s vision of collaboration between community organizations, academic researchers, and advocates to advance human rights-based policies and practices in countries where communities disproportionately affected by HIV continue to face discrimination, social rejection, violence and imprisonment\u2013often by government officials and agencies. Robert\u2019s commitment to translating findings from research collaborations between community and academic partners into tangible policy development and advocacy efforts is the driving force behind this prize. This year\u2019s winners will be announced at the 23<sup>rd<\/sup>&nbsp;&nbsp;International AIDS Conference in Oakland and San Francisco, United States, in July 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Nominations open to the public<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the second time the nominations&nbsp;are open to the public.
