A hallmark of the CWRU/UHC research enterprise is a strong emphasis on international biomedical research with a particular interest in developing countries. The sixteen-year collaboration with Ugandan government and research facilities has fostered seminal studies of TB and HIV/AIDS. A major limitation to new initiatives in the developing world is the lack of state-of-the-art laboratory facilities on site. The longstanding research relationship between CWRU, the government of Uganda and Makerare University has resulted in the development of an extensive research infrastructure in Uganda. To facilitate sharing of these resources and to promote/support new research initiatives, all laboratory facilities and services associated with HIV/AIDS research are now being administered by the CWRU/UHC CFAR Uganda Laboratory Core with the following objectives: 1. provide comprehensive laboratory services to facilitate HIV/AIDS-related research projects of CFAR investigators 2. advertise these services, process requests, and coordinate research-based assays through the Uganda Laboratory Core 3. provide a mechanism for training of Ugandan scientists in collaboration with CWRU and Fogarty AIDS Training Grant Moving forward, the Ugandan Laboratory Core seeks to: 1. develop new assays to meet the needs of the CFAR investigators and improve the quality of HIV/AIDS research in Uganda 2. continue to engage Ugandan scientists/clinicians in research collaboration with CFAR members by promoting training scholarships, sponsoring workshops and meetings

CWRU/UHC研究企业的标志是非常重视国际生物医学研究，对发展中国家特别感兴趣。与乌干达政府和研究设施的16年合作促进了对结核病和艾滋病毒/艾滋病的开创性研究。对发展中国家的新计划的主要局限性是现场缺乏最新的实验室设施。 CWRU，乌干达政府和Makerare大学之间的长期研究关系导致在乌干达建立了广泛的研究基础设施。为了促进共享这些资源并促进/支持新的研究计划，CWRU/UHC CFAR UGANDA实验室核心现在正在管理与HIV/AIDS研究相关的所有实验室设施和服务，并具有以下目标： 1。提供全面的实验室服务，以促进CFAR研究人员的艾滋病毒/艾滋病有关的研究项目 2。通过乌干达实验室核心宣传这些服务，流程请求和协调基于研究的测定 3。提供了一种与CWRU和Fogarty AIDS培训赠款合作的乌干达科学家培训的机制 向前迈进，乌干达实验室核心试图： 1。开发新的测定法以满足CFAR调查人员的需求并提高乌干达的艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究的质量 2。继续通过促进培训奖学金，赞助研讨会和会议来与CFAR成员一起与CFAR成员进行研究合作。
