## Abstract

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.
