CWRU/UHC研究企业的一个特点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机构的16年合作 这些设施促进了结核病和艾滋病毒/艾滋病的开创性研究。发展中国家新举措的一个主要限制因素是 现场缺乏最先进的实验室设施。CWRU之间的长期研究关系， 乌干达政府和Makerare大学已经导致了广泛的研究的发展 乌干达的基础设施。为了促进这些资源的共享，并促进/支持新的研究计划，所有 与艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究相关的实验室设施和服务现在由CWRU/UHC管理 CFAR乌干达实验室核心，目标如下： 提供全面的实验室服务，以促进CFAR调查人员的艾滋病毒/艾滋病相关研究项目 通过乌干达实验室宣传这些服务，处理请求，并协调基于研究的分析 核心 * 与CWRU和Fogarty艾滋病培训合作，提供培训乌干达科学家的机制 格兰特 展望未来，乌干达实验室核心力求： 开发新的检测方法，以满足CFAR调查人员的需求，并提高艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究的质量， 乌干达 继续让乌干达科学家/临床医生与CFAR成员进行研究合作， 培训奖学金、赞助讲习班和会议

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: ¿ provide comprehensive laboratory services to facilitate HIV/AIDS-related research projects of CFAR investigators ¿ advertise these services, process requests, and coordinate research-based assays through the Uganda Laboratory Core ¿ 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: ¿ develop new assays to meet the needs of the CFAR investigators and improve the quality of HIV/AIDS research in Uganda ¿ continue to engage Ugandan scientists/clinicians in research collaboration with CFAR members by promoting training scholarships, sponsoring workshops and meetings
