University of Miami Developmental Center for AIDS Research (D-CFAR)

迈阿密大学米勒医学院提议建立艾滋病发展中心 研究（UM DCFAR）。UM DCFAR的目标是成功地发展成为一个完整的CFAR， NIH声明CFAR的使命是“支持多学科环境，促进基础、临床 预防、检测和治疗艾滋病毒的流行病学、行为学和转化研究 感染和艾滋病。“UM DCFAR将利用其优势为NIH提供基础设施 资助研究活动，促进旨在履行DCFAR使命的新研究。整体 Savita Pahwa博士将提供领导，他在临床和实验室方面具有丰富的经验 艾滋病领域的研究。她将得到玛格丽特·菲舍尔博士的协助，她将在以下方面提供指导： 各种临床方面和并发症的研究。Pahwa博士将领导行政核心， 核心研究和科学研究领域之间的跨学科互动。发展核心将 由Gwendolyn Scott博士领导，Gail Shor-Posner博士协助。他们将促进指导，新的 研究活动和国际培训。已选择的共享核心为1。临床 科学核心：该核心将在Margaret Fischl博士的领导下， 为DCFAR成员提供支持和生物储存库管理。她还将提供专门知识， 队列发展和患者安全相关问题。2.实验室科学核心将由博士 Savita Pahwa在Andreas Baur博士的协助下。该核心将提供广泛的分析， 免疫学和病毒学从常规到专业，先进和发展。此外，一本小说 一个组成部分是介绍神经艾滋病研究的资源。3.行为/社会科学和 社区外展核心（BSSCO）核心将由丽莎梅奇和尼尔施奈德曼博士领导。的 BSSCO核心将致力于其资源和专业知识，以提高当前的行为和社会科学 艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究和促进行为/社会科学、临床和基础科学之间更好的联系 investigators. BSSCO核心还将领导DCFAR工作和发展有意义的社区 通过我们的DCFAR社区咨询委员会建立伙伴关系。以强有力的机构承诺为后盾 通过正在进行的出色的研究活动，我们有信心及时过渡到全面的CFAR

The University of Miami, Miller School of Medicine proposes to establish a Developmental Center for AIDS Research (UM DCFAR). The goal of the UM DCFAR is to successfully develop into a full CFAR and fulfill the NIH stated CFAR mission "to support a multi-disciplinary environment that promotes basic, clinical, epidemiological, behavioral, and translational research in the prevention, detection, and treatment of HIV infection and AIDS." The UM DCFAR will build on its strengths to provide the infrastructure for the NIH funded research activities and promote new research aimed at fulfilling the DCFAR mission. The overall leadership will be provided by Dr. Savita Pahwa, who has extensive experience in clinical and laboratory research in the HIV/AIDS field. She will be assisted by Dr. Margaret Fischl, who will provide direction in various clinical aspects and complications research. Dr. Pahwa will head the Administrative Core to ensure inter-disciplinary interaction among cores and the scientific areas of research. The Developmental Core will be led by Dr Gwendolyn Scott, with assistance from Dr Gail Shor-Posner. They will promote mentoring, new research activities and international training. The shared Cores that have been selected are 1. Clinical Sciences Core: This core will be under the leadership of Dr Margaret Fischl and will offer biostatistical support and bio repository management for the DCFAR members. She will also provide expertise in special cohort development and issues related to patient safety. 2. Laboratory Sciences Core will be led by Dr Savita Pahwa with assistance from Dr Andreas Baur. This Core will provide a broad range of assays in immunology and virology from routine to specialized, advanced and developmental. In addition a novel component is to introduce resources for Neuro-AIDS research. 3. The Behavioral/Social Sciences and Community Outreach Core (BSSCO) Core will be led by Drs. Lisa Metsch and Neil Schneiderman. The BSSCO Core will devotes its resources and expertise to enhance current behavioral and social science HIV/AIDS research and facilitate better linkages among behavioral/social science, clinical and basic science investigators. The BSSCO Core will also lead the DCFAR in working and developing meaningful community partnerships through our DCFAR community advisory board. Backed with a strong institutional commitment and with excellent ongoing research activities, we are confident of a timely transition into a full CFAR
