CORE--DEVELOPMENTAL

加州大学旧金山分校最初的艾滋病研究中心(1988-1993)支持了几个 除了核心设施之外的活动。其中最重要的 这就是新调查员奖的颁奖仪式。在最初的 获奖，我们将规划和评估资金重新用于支持国家- 艺术研讨会和座谈会。在拨款的最后一年， 剩余资金有限，CFAR资助了一项小型进化研究 商机建议书。 其中两项活动是，支持新的艾滋病毒调查人员和支持 艾滋病毒研究中不断发展的研究机会，形成重要的 新限制的CFAR的组成部分。回想起来，这些活动 被证明是协调艾滋病研究的非常重要的因素 CFAR机制以及加州大学旧金山分校鼓励富有成效的合作。 目前的CFAR申请要求为新调查者奖提供资金， 试点项目奖和不断发展的研究机会。预算 限制排除了举办类似的研讨会和研讨会的计划 在最初的CFAR中。然而，我们已经制定了初步计划， 将带来基础研究和临床艾滋病计划的系列研讨会 在一起。这一系列研讨会的目标是产生新的想法， 促进富有成效的互动，并鼓励基础 校园社区的研究人员和临床医生。我们 计划每年在格莱斯顿研究所举办四次研讨会 病毒学和免疫学艾滋病研究中心会议室。主题 目前正在考虑的包括病毒的治疗和量化 装载。

The original UCSF Center for AIDS Research (1988-1993) supported several activities in addition to the core facilities. The most important of these was the awarding of New Investigator Award. After the initial award, we redirected Planning and Evaluation funds to support state-of- the-art Workshops and Symposia. In the final year of the grant, with the limited remaining funds, CFAR funded a small Evolving Research Opportunity proposal. Two of the activities, support for new HIV investigators and support for evolving research opportunities in HIV research, form important components of the newly restricted CFAR. In retrospect, these activities proved to be very important factors in coordinating AIDS research through the CFAR mechanism and in encouraging productive collaborations at UCSF. The current CFAR application requests funds for New Investigator Awards, Pilot Project Awards and Evolving Research Opportunities. Budgetary restrictions preclude plans for Workshops and Symposia similar to those in the original CFAR. However, we have made preliminary plans for a seminar series that would bring basic research and clinical AIDS programs together. The goal of this seminar series is to generate new ideas, foster productive interactions and encourage collaborations between basic research investigators and clinicians across the Campus community. We plan to hold the seminars four times per year in the Gladstone Institute of Virology and Immunology AIDS Research Center Conference Room. Topics currently under consideration include Therapy and Quantification of Viral Load.
