## Abstract

CLINICAL AND POPULATION SCIENCES CORE (CORE D) 
PROJECT SUMMARY 
The Clinical and Population Sciences (CPS) Core is an essential resource for DC CFAR investigators, 
providing clinical, biostatistics and epidemiology services to support HIV research in a wide range of disciplines 
and across multiple institutions. The CPS Core is led by an experienced team of senior HIV investigators: Dr. 
Princy Kumar (GU, Director - Clinical), Dr. Sam Simmens (GW, Co-Director - Biostatistics) and Dr. Manya 
Magnus (GW, Co-Director - Epidemiology). The Specific Aims of the Core are: 1) to provide comprehensive 
clinical, biostatistics and epidemiology consultation services to DC CFAR investigators; and 2) to expand the 
magnitude and impact of clinical and population HIV science in Washington, DC. 
Since 2015, the Core leadership and CPS Core service providers have provided >360 Core services. The most 
frequently requested services were consultations on study design and biostatistics, reviews of grant proposals 
and manuscripts, data analysis, and guidance on study implementation issues such as recruitment and 
retention. The Core has connected investigators with scientific collaborators and community members and 
facilitated access to existing cohort data and biorepositories. From 2015-2019, these services supported 56 
unique investigators, 58 publications, 66 pilot award applications, seven administrative supplements, 59 NIH 
grant submissions and 10 new NIH grants. Innovative programs such as the No Investigator Left Behind and 
MACC Scholars initiatives and enhanced access to cohorts and specimens though the MACS/WIHS Combined 
Cohort Study, DC Cohort and HPTN CRS contribute to the Core's capacity to achieve its aims and support the 
overall mission of the DC CFAR.
