## Abstract

The Miami CFAR mission is to advance HIV/AIDS research by providing scientific leadership and developing an
infrastructure that fosters integration of basic and clinical sciences, including behavioral/social sciences,
promotes education and mentorship, and partners with the community to prevent, treat and cure HIV/AIDS. The
Developmental Core (Core B) is the largest component of the Miami CFAR and provides the major mechanism
through which the CFAR can support innovative and collaborative research, particularly between basic and
clinical investigators, assist in the mentoring and establishment of new/junior investigators and provide a path
for students to participate in HIV/AIDS research. While Core B has a broad mission, its primary goal remains to
support junior and unfunded investigators and provide effective mentoring. Aim 1. Maintain a program for
solicitation, peer review and oversight of pilot grants that supports the research of junior, basic and
clinical researchers to promote their path to successful extramural grants. Support will be targeted to: a)
junior investigators; b) investigators new to HIV/AIDS research; c) translational research that fosters
collaboration between basic and clinical researchers, including emerging research opportunities, and; d)
research activities of newly recruited UM faculty working in HIV. Aim 2. Maintain a vibrant and intensive
mentoring program that guides junior faculty, fellows and senior postdocs, and minority investigators
in particular, to successful independent careers. The maintenance of junior/new researchers on a successful
career path is a primary mission of the CFAR. As a consequence, Core B will enhance their mentorship program
for minority and junior faculty and trainees interested in a career in basic, behavioral or clinical HIV/AIDS
research. The mentoring program will provide guidance in grant writing, research methods and career
development and will link junior investigators to an established research mentor. The Mentoring Program will
also focus on providing guidance for senior investigators to help them become better mentors. These activities
lay the foundation for a strong future for AIDS research at UM and support for a new generation of investigators.
