{"value"=>"<p>The Community Research Initiative (CRI) began as a sponsored project of the People with AIDS Coalition (PWAC) in 1986/1987. Enlisting the help of Dr. Mathilde Krim, CRI became its own nonprofit organization dedicated to New York City community-based research on AIDS in 1987. CRI brought together people with AIDS, community physicians, and clinical researchers in a collaborative fight against AIDS. The organization focused on performing clinical trials in the community setting, rather than as part of government conducted trials. CRI served as a model of community-based research and was praised by the President's Commission on AIDS.</p> <p>Dr. Sonnabend served as a member of the Board of Directors, Institutional Review Board, and Scientific Advisory Committee. In 1990, CRI dissolved due to financial issues, but reconstituted in 1991 as the Community Research Initiative on AIDS (CRIA, now known as the AIDS Community Research Initiative of America, or ACRIA). Sonnabend left CRIA in 1996 over clashes with the Board of Directors and the new executive director.</p>"}
