## Abstract

Modified Project Summary/Abstract Section

The mission of the CFAR is to catalyze, support, and sustain the continuation of innovative research to 
end the HIV epidemic in the United States and globally; our vision is The End of AIDS Begins Here. For 
the past 9 years the CFAR has reinvigorated a sense of connectedness among investigators in the 
School of Medicine, Bloomberg School of Public Health, School of Nursing, and other JHU divisions; built 
thriving platforms through which interdisciplinary collaboration occurs; engaged new and early stage 
investigators (ESI) in cutting-edge research activities; provided vitally needed developmental resources 
for conducting pilot studies; and contributed to the recruitment or retention of 13 junior faculty members. 
Developmental Awards for pilot studies, microgrants for small projects, and supplements have been 
provided to 217 ESI and investigators new to HIV, resulting in $263 million in subsequent extramural 
funding. JHU-authored publications on HIV have increased by 80% since 2008, with a total of 1240 
supported by the CFAR. Forty percent of all HIV grants from the NIH are now awarded to ESIs and new 
investigators who received developmental support from this CFAR (compared to 7% when CFAR began), 
and the overall HIV funding research base has grown by $19 million per year. Generous co-funding from 
the University supports the Baltimore HIV Collaboratory to build stronger connections with local partners, 
involving numerous stakeholders including the Baltimore City Health Department and other organizations. 
The Collaboratory is also expanding the pipeline of future HIV researchers through the Baltimore HIV 
Scholars Program and Generation Tomorrow programs emphasizing trainees from undergraduate 
institutions. We established the Mid-Atlantic CFAR Consortium (MACC) with the District of Columbia and 
Penn CFARs that supports research on HIV prevention in all three cities and awards MACC Scholar 
Grants to ESIs. The CFAR has 7 Cores and 2 Scientific Working Groups that provide services and 
support innovation in high-priority HIV research.
