Center for AIDS Research at Emory University

项目概要：总体 埃默里大学艾滋病研究中心（CFAR）的使命是降低艾滋病毒的发病率， 改善福祉，并最终通过促进和支持反式艾滋病毒， 针对南方流行病的学科研究是全球艾滋病毒/艾滋病流行病的缩影。的 埃默里CFAR已经非常成功地在战略上扩大了大学范围内，多学科 由NIH资助的研究导致了全球公认的干预措施， 预防艾滋病毒的新传播，并提高艾滋病毒感染者和高危人群的福祉。18年来， 历史上，埃默里CFAR已成为埃默里艾滋病毒研究界的基石，并带来了 该大学作为艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究的卓越中心而享誉世界。 在当前项目期间，埃默里CFAR执行领导层将重点放在 免疫学和发病机制，同时也大大扩大了CFAR的能力，提供创新和 为艾滋病研究人员提供全面的临床、预防科学和生物统计支持。我们还 通过与社区、州和地方政府的实质性伙伴关系，加强了我们与社区的联系， 国家公共卫生机构正在关注南部的艾滋病毒流行。CFAR的成功 为埃默里大学提供增值服务得到了大学领导层的广泛认可， 埃默里大学校长办公室承诺为CFAR提供300万美元的机构支持， 教务长，以及伍德拉夫健康科学中心的所有五个单位（埃默里医学院，罗林斯医学院）。 公共卫生，Nell Hodgson Woodruff护理学院，Winship癌症研究所和Yerkes National 灵长类研究中心）。此外，格鲁吉亚研究联盟是一个外部合作伙伴，负责促进 增长的研究在格鲁吉亚，继续致力于支持CFAR通过购买 实验室基础设施所需的研究设备和资金。 作为履行CFAR使命的一种手段，我们具体建议：1）开发、支持和 扩大高度优先的艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究，以预防新的感染，改善艾滋病患者的福祉， 或有感染艾滋病毒的风险，并朝着发现疫苗和治愈方法的方向发展; 2）翻译和传播 艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究成果; 3）识别、培训、指导和支持下一代艾滋病毒/艾滋病感染者 研究人员和科学领导者。通过这种方式，我们相信，埃默里CFAR将继续建立在 它的成功，以制定一个全面的研究计划，作出重大贡献，结束 艾滋病毒流行病。这份申请是为了获得艾滋病研究中心的奖项。

Project Summary: Overall The mission of the Center for AIDS Research (CFAR) at Emory University is to decrease HIV incidence, improve well-being and, ultimately, find a vaccine and a cure for HIV by fostering and supporting trans- disciplinary research targeting the Southern epidemic as a microcosm of the global HIV/AIDS pandemic. The Emory CFAR has been extremely successful in strategically expanding a University-wide, multidisciplinary community of scientists whose NIH-funded research has led to globally recognized interventions that prevent new HIV transmissions and enhance the wellbeing of people living with and at risk for HIV. Over its 18-year history, the Emory CFAR has become the cornerstone of Emory's HIV research community and has brought the University to world prominence as a center of excellence in HIV/AIDS research. During the current project period the Emory CFAR Executive Leadership maintained a focus on immunology and pathogenesis while also greatly expanding the CFAR's capacity to provide innovative and comprehensive clinical, prevention science, and biostatistical support to HIV researchers. We have also strengthened our ties with the community through substantive partnerships with community-based, state, and national public health agencies that are focusing attention on the Southern HIV epidemic. The CFAR's success in providing Value Added to Emory University is widely acknowledged by the University leadership that has committed $3M in institutional support for the CFAR from the offices of the Emory University President, Provost, and all five units of the Woodruff Health Science Center (Emory School of Medicine, Rollins School of Public Health, Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing, Winship Cancer Institute, and Yerkes National Primate Research Center). In addition, the Georgia Research Alliance, an external partner that promotes the growth of research in Georgia, continues their commitment to support the CFAR through the purchase of research equipment and funds for laboratory infrastructure needs. As a means of fulfilling the mission of the CFAR we propose specifically to 1) Develop, support, and expand high priority HIV/AIDS research that will prevent new infections, improve the well-being of people with or at risk for HIV, and move toward the discovery of a vaccine and a cure; 2) Translate and disseminate HIV/AIDS research findings; 3) Identify, train, mentor, and support the next generation of HIV/AIDS researchers and scientific leaders. In this way we are confident that the Emory CFAR will continue to build on its successes to develop a comprehensive research program that makes significant contributions to ending the HIV epidemic. This application is for a Center for AIDS Research award.
