UCSF-GIVI Center for AIDS Research

UCSF-GIVI CFAR的目标是支持多学科环境，促进预防，检测和治疗HIV感染和艾滋病的基础，临床，流行病学，行为和转化研究，并通过提供独特的和有效管理的活动推动HIV研究来进一步推动NIH研究所的计划。CFAR采用有效的领导，开放的沟通， 教育机会，健全的资源管理和战略规划，以连接跨网站和科学学科的CFAR成员。该中心的领导层致力于积极主动的管理，透明度和持续的计划监测，评估和调整。CFAR与UCSF艾滋病研究所和艾滋病预防研究中心保持着有效的伙伴关系。 为了促进多学科研究，该中心管理六个科学核心（临床和人口科学，免疫学，病毒学，标本库，药理学和国际）。临床和人口科学核心有助于获得适当的临床队列。国际核心，聚焦 在乌干达的投资组合不断增长，将建立国内能力，并与福格蒂国际中心合作进行培训。预计将扩展到其他非洲网站。核心董事负责成员外展和招募新的研究人员，以利用尖端技术和分析 在核心中可用。科学核心的成功是通过它们所促进的多学科科学的质量以及它们所贡献的出版物和成功的赠款来评估的。 加勒比难民基金行政核心维持一个电子网络，包括电视会议，以联系和通知所有加勒比难民基金成员，组织科学研讨会和专题讨论会，并实施财务制度，以监测和报告所有加勒比难民基金的资金，确保最大限度地发挥加勒比难民基金的效力。发展核心基金为基础科学赠款试点项目提供资金。它通过指导试点赠款和一个非常成功和雄心勃勃的正式指导计划支持下一代艾滋病毒科学。 UCSF-GIVI CFAR的成功体现在其研究人员的科学成就，通过专注于创新的多学科艾滋病毒研究激发全新科学的能力，以及从UCSF，弗朗西斯科退伍军人事务医疗中心和J获得的重要机构支持。

The aims of the UCSF-GIVI CFAR are to support a multi-disciplinary environment that promotes basic, clinical, epidemiologic, behavioral, and translational research in the prevention, detection, and treatment of HIV infection and AIDS and to further the programs of NIH institutes by providing unique and effectively managed activities propelling HIV research. CFAR applies effective leadership, open communications, educational opportunities, sound resource management, and strategic planning to link CFAR members across sites and scientific disciplines. The Center's leadership is committed to proactive management, transparency and continued program monitoring, evaluation, and readjustment. CFAR maintains an effective partnership with the UCSF AIDS Research Institute and with the Center for AIDS Prevention Studies. To catalyze multidisciplinary research, the Center manages six scientific cores (Clinical and Population Sciences, Immunology, Virology, Specimen Banking, Pharmacology, and International). The Clinical and Population Sciences Core facilitates access to appropriate clinical cohorts. The International Core, focused on a growing portfolio in Uganda, will build in-country capacity and collaborate with the Fogarty International Center in training. Expansion to other African sites is expected. Core Directors are charged with member outreach and soliciting new investigators to take advantage of the cutting edge technologies and assays available within the cores. Success of the scientific cores is assessed by the quality of the multidisciplinary science they stimulate and by the publications and successful grants to which they contribute. The CFAR Administrative Core maintains an electronic network, including videoconferencing, to connect and inform all CFAR members, organizes scientific seminars and symposia, and implements financial systems to monitor and report all CFAR funds, ensuring maximum CFAR effectiveness. The Developmental Core funds pilot an basic science grants. It supports the next generation of HIV science through mentored pilot grants and an extremely successful and ambitious formal mentoring program. The success of the UCSF-GIVI CFAR is evident in the scientific accomplishments of its investigators, its ability to galvanize fundamentally new science through its focus on innovative multidisciplinary HIV research, and the significant institutional support it receives from UCSF, the San Francisco Veterans Affairs Medical Center and the J. David Gladstone Institutes.
