Now that IRMA's Project ARM (Africa for Rectal Microbicides) has developed a roadmap for Africa-focused rectal microbicide research and advocacy priorities - embodied in our wonderful new report On the Map: Ensuring Africa's Plance in Rectal Microbicide Research and Advocacy  - we are now inviting new folks into the Project ARM group who are interested in helping us move our priority actions forward in Africa.

IRMA's Project ARM is looking for interested African advocates, scientists and other colleagues - and global allies - who are interested in ensuring that rectal microbicide research and advocacy is prioritized in Africa. We will be working on the 7 priority actions outlined in the new report mentioned above.
