# SWG 1: Implementation Science for the Global Response to HIV

> **NIH NIH P30** · UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SAN FRANCISCO · 2021 · $238,596

## Abstract

The mission of the UCSF-Gladstone Center for AIDS Research (CFAR) is to promote multidisciplinary
research at the intersection of the basic, clinical, and behavioral-epidemiological sciences with the goal of
ending the global HIV epidemic. To fulfill its mission, CFAR collaborates with UCSF’s AIDS Research Institute
and the Center for AIDS Prevention Studies (CAPS), as well as the newly funded amfAR Institute for HIV Cure
Research, to coordinate a multi-pronged program that aims to:
1) Provide administrative and scientific leadership through a proactive planning process that identifies the
most important challenges emerging at the cutting edge of HIV research
2) Identify, mentor, and support a highly skilled, diverse, and thoughtful next generation of HIV
investigators by providing a strong mentoring program unique to UCSF and through a California-funded
Health Disparities Core linked to CFAR
3) Conduct a dynamic pilot grants program to accelerate discovery
4) Maintain an outstanding set of scientific cores to extend the reach of Center investigators’ research
5) Ensure our programs support major NIH-funded HIV/AIDS research programs and OAR priorities
6) Confront domestic prevention and treatment disparities through effective local collaborations
7) Direct CFAR’s research and capacity building programs to international sites where the epidemic is
hitting the hardest
8) Engage the communities we serve through a set of novel alliances involving Project Inform, the Forum
for Collaborative HIV Research, and UCSF’s Science and Health Education Partnership
9) Forge effective inter-CFAR collaborations to nucleate research teams across different disciplines and
sites to address all dimensions of these identified challenges
CFAR brings value by creating and sustaining a true community of HIV/AIDS science. CFAR is proud of its
accomplishments in the last four years including: the publication of 791 papers; the mentoring of 69 early
career investigators; the award of $6.1 million to support 79 CFAR grants and supplements; the success of
recent CFAR awardees in winning more than $106.7 million dollars in peer-reviewed, HIV-related funding; and
our continuing engagement in the planning and organization of the East Africa Collaborative Scientific
Symposium and Sub-Saharan Africa CFAR Conferences featuring the work of African scientists.
However, much work remains to be done. CFAR looks forward to helping stimulate progress on multiple
scientific fronts including increasing access to implementation science methods, driving progress in HIV
eradication, increasing access to proven biomedical approaches to HIV prevention and addressing disparities
in HIV care and treatment within resource-limited communities in the Bay Area and abroad.
