Special Interest Groups (SIGs) are a unique benefit of INHSU membership, providing a platform for members to collaborate on specific topics, or challenges aligned with INHSU’s strategic goals.
SIGs offer opportunities to:
- Connect with peers on focused topics
- Build professional networks and develop initiatives
- Contribute to knowledge-sharing, education, policy, and advocacy efforts
Interested in starting a SIG? Members can submit a proposal, subject to Board approval. Each SIG must have a Chair and a core group of members, with a maximum of three active SIGs across the INHSU network at any time.
Current SIGS
INHSU Early-Mid-Career Researchers
INHSU EMCR brings together early and mid-career researchers from across the globe interested in the health and wellbeing of people who use drugs, harm reduction, human rights, hepatitis C, and other harms that can occur from drug use and prohibitionist drug policy.
Past SIGS
INHSU Prisons
INHSU Prisons was dedicated to scientific knowledge and information exchange, knowledge translation, and advocacy for enhanced hepatitis care in custodial settings. The SIG was discontinued in late 2024 after five years, following its catalytic efforts driving research, advocacy, and awareness of hepatitis and broader health issues in custodial settings. Prison content is now integrated into the broader INHSU content and programming.
