Modified Project Summary/Abstract Section The Administrative (Admin) Core (Core A) is the coordinating hub of the Emory CFAR with responsibility for scientific leadership, effective stewardship of resources, investment in innovative HIV research initiatives, and support for the recruitment of Early-Stage Investigators. This is accomplished through five science cores and two Scientific Working Groups. Core services are evaluated annually, and resources leveraged to ensure the evolving needs of HIV researchers are met. The Admin Core continues funding developmental awards and promoting training programs moving early-stage investigators to independent funding. We seek a revision to the Admin Core to include the nationally focused CFAR Adelante Research Capacity Program (ARCP). The key tenets of AMRP are team science, mentorship, and community engagement with a goal to build long-term community-academic partnerships. Program participants benefit from multi-level and bidirectional mentorship relationships and scientific mentorship—goals that perfectly align with those of the Emory CFAR. Through the end of this project period, we propose to 1) provide funding for the currently awarded ARCP Cohort V Teams to complete their two-year projects; 2) support one additional cohort of up to four ARCP Teams; and 3) recruit another cohort of up to four ARCP Teams. The Emory CFAR is Co-Directed by three distinguished HIV investigators providing complementary expertise across all major areas of HIV research at Emory. Dr. Carlos del Rio is contact PI and Co-Director for Clinical Science, Dr. Colleen Kelley is MPI and Co-Director for Prevention Science, and Dr. Ann Chahroudi is MPI and Co-Director for Basic Science. The Admin Core will continue to provide scientific leadership, effective stewardship of resources, and extensive administrative support to ensure the success of ARCP and its integration into the following aims: Aim 1. Provide scientific leadership and coordinate activities that support CFAR Members as they advance groundbreaking HIV research across the entire scientific spectrum of NIH-defined priority research areas to end the epidemic for. Aim 2. Allocate resources effectively and judiciously to support six Cores and two Scientific Working Groups, providing cutting-edge tools and services to elevate multidisciplinary and translational HIV research. Aim 3. Develop the next generation of outstanding HIV investigators through innovative developmental grant programs, leadership development, and mentoring. Aim 4. Utilize intentional communication and dissemination strategies to promote multidirectional engagement between HIV researchers and the communities we seek to serve.
