Harvard University Center for AIDS Research

The mission of the Harvard University Center for AIDS Research is to expand, promote, and facilitate collaborative, multidisciplinary activities in AIDS research among CFAR members and their colleagues throughout Harvard Medical School and across the University, in order to help end the pandemic.

The goals of the merged HU CFAR are
(1) To consolidate and expand existing collaborations among the members of two existing, highly successful HMS-affiliated CFARs.
(2) Promote new interactions and research initiatives capable of more effectively addressing key AIDS research questions
(3) Attract and support the next generation of young scientists into HIV-1 research

The current goals of the HU CFAR are the product of over twenty five years of commitment of HU and its affiliated institutions and their investigators to AIDS research, education, and patient care and builds on the existing and interactive CFAR infrastructure that has continued to grow since expansion into Harvard-wide CFAR in 2007. The scientific foundation of the proposed CFAR is the history of significant contributions to AIDS research made by investigators in the Harvard community. Harvard and its affiliated institutions have conducted an extraordinary breadth and depth of investigations in AIDS and related fields of research. Activities among the 144 NIH-funded HU investigators doing AIDS related research activities include studies of molecular virology, pathogenesis, host immune responses, epidemiology, treatment, vaccines and prevention, to which Harvard investigators have made consistent, high-impact contributions.

The HU CFAR encompasses clinical and basic science research conducted at HU and its affiliated institutions:
Affiliation: Harvard Medical School, Harvard Initiative for Global Health
Web site: Harvard University Center for AIDS Research
