Donaldson F. Conserve, MS, PhD, is a Professor in the Department of Prevention and Community Health at the George Washington University Milken Institute School of Public Health and Principal Investigator of the BRIDGE Scholars Program, and Director of the BRIDGE Research Lab. A native of Haiti, Dr. Conserve draws inspiration for his community-based global health research from his early experiences in Haiti and from an undergraduate community-based research internship that introduced him to the power of working alongside communities to address important public health challenges related to HIV prevention. He is an implementation scientist whose research focuses on developing, adapting, and evaluating innovative approaches to improve access to HIV prevention, testing, and treatment services in the United States and globally. Dr. Conserve’s research program has a particular emphasis on HIV self-testing, community-based service delivery, long-acting HIV prevention and treatment, and strategies for reaching populations that experience barriers to traditional healthcare systems. His work spans the implementation research continuum, with projects in the United States and sub-Saharan Africa, including Tanzania and Nigeria.
