The Johns Hopkins Center for AIDS Research (JHU CFAR)

CFAR的使命是催化、支持和维持创新研究的持续，以结束 艾滋病毒在美国和全球流行;我们的愿景是艾滋病的终结从这里开始。在过去的9 多年来，CFAR重振了社区意识和调查人员之间的联系， 医学院，公共卫生的布隆伯格学院，护理学院，和其他JHU部门;建成 蓬勃发展的平台，通过跨学科的合作发生;从事新的和早期的阶段 研究人员（ESI）在尖端的研究活动;提供了急需的发展资源， 开展试点研究;并帮助招聘或留住了13名初级教员，特别是8名 代表性不足的人口。为试点研究提供发展奖， 项目，并向217名新接触艾滋病毒的ESI和调查人员提供了补充， 亿元的后续资金。JHU撰写的关于艾滋病毒的出版物自2010年以来增加了80%。 2008年，共有1 240个项目得到CFAR的支持。现在，美国国立卫生研究院40%的艾滋病毒赠款 授予从该CFAR获得发展支持的ESI和新研究者（相比之下， 当CFAR开始时），艾滋病毒研究的总资金基础每年增长1900万美元。慷慨 机构联合资助支持巴尔的摩艾滋病毒合作实验室在 社区，涉及众多利益相关者，包括巴尔的摩市卫生局和社区 组织的合作实验室还致力于通过以下途径扩大未来艾滋病毒研究人员的渠道： 巴尔的摩艾滋病毒学者计划，未来一代和未来一代健康差异学者 管道计划强调来自代表性不足人口的受训人员。我们建立了中大西洋 CFAR联盟（MACC）与哥伦比亚特区和宾夕法尼亚州CFAR合作，支持艾滋病毒研究 在所有三个城市开展预防工作，并向代表性不足的人口中的紧急情况服务机构颁发MACC奖学金赠款。 我们的具体目标是：1）加强整个JHU的艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究的整合和生产力， 与社区和世界各地的合作伙伴合作; 2）提供指导、支持和试点资金 下一代的艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究人员，并增加新的研究人员的管道， 在医学和卫生领域代表性不足; 3）通过提供 通过四个服务核心向调查员提供关键服务; 4）调动和协调各部门的能力， 通过研究，在巴尔的摩和彼得堡地区抗击当地的艾滋病毒流行 伙伴关系、培训、成果传播和加强社区干预措施。恒虚警 有7个核心和2个科学工作组，提供服务和支持创新的高优先艾滋病毒 research. CFAR将继续对艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究产生激励和变革性的影响， JHU和我们很高兴提交此更新申请。

The mission of the CFAR is to catalyze, support, and sustain the continuation of innovative research to end the HIV epidemic in the United States and globally; our vision is The End of AIDS Begins Here. For the past 9 years the CFAR has reinvigorated a sense of community and connectedness among investigators in the School of Medicine, Bloomberg School of Public Health, School of Nursing, and other JHU divisions; built thriving platforms through which interdisciplinary collaboration occurs; engaged new and early stage investigators (ESI) in cutting-edge research activities; provided vitally needed developmental resources for conducting pilot studies; and contributed to the recruitment or retention of 13 junior faculty members, notably 8 members of underrepresented populations. Developmental Awards for pilot studies, microgrants for small projects, and supplements have been provided to 217 ESI and investigators new to HIV, resulting in $263 million in subsequent extramural funding. JHU-authored publications on HIV have increased by 80% since 2008, with a total of 1240 supported by the CFAR. Forty percent of all HIV grants from the NIH are now awarded to ESIs and new investigators who received developmental support from this CFAR (compared to 7% when CFAR began), and the overall HIV funding research base has grown by $19 million per year. Generous institutional co-funding supports the Baltimore HIV Collaboratory to build stronger connections within the community, involving numerous stakeholders including the Baltimore City Health Department and community organizations. The Collaboratory is also worked expanding the pipeline of future HIV researchers through the Baltimore HIV Scholars Program, Generation Tomorrow and Generation Tomorrow Health Disparities Scholars pipeline programs emphasizing trainees from underrepresented populations. We established the Mid-Atlantic CFAR Consortium (MACC) with the District of Columbia and Penn CFARs that supports research on HIV prevention in all three cities and awards MACC Scholar Grants to ESIs from underrepresented populations. Our specific aims are 1) To enhance the integration and productivity of HIV/AIDS research across JHU and with partners in the community and around the world; 2) To provide mentoring, support, and pilot funding for the next generation of HIV/AIDS researchers, and to increase the pipeline of new investigators from groups underrepresented in medicine and health; 3) To support multidisciplinary HIV/AIDS research by providing critical services to investigators through four service cores; and 4) to mobilize and coordinate capacity from across JHU to combat the local HIV epidemic in the Baltimore and St. Petersburg areas through research partnerships, training, results dissemination, and strengthening of community-based interventions. The CFAR has 7 Cores and 2 Scientific Working Groups that provide services and support innovation in high-priority HIV research. The CFAR will continue to have a galvanizing and transformative impact on HIV/AIDS research at JHU and we are delighted to submit this renewal application.
