Description
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the NIH, is forecasting continued support for the national network of Centers for AIDS Research (CFAR). These centers collaborate with other HHS-funded HIV/AIDS initiatives to build and maintain the infrastructure and partnerships needed for innovative research aimed at ending the HIV epidemic in the United States. The CFAR program strengthens HIV/AIDS research by providing resources for multidisciplinary collaboration, reducing duplication of efforts, and leveraging economies of scale to accelerate the translation of basic research into new treatments, prevention strategies, and potential cures.
A core aspect of the CFAR program is to support and mentor early-career investigators and those new to HIV/AIDS research, including funding for pilot studies, emerging scientific opportunities, and high-risk/high-impact collaborative projects.
