Overview of CFAR
The ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ Center for Aids Research (CFAR) has been funded since its initiation in April 1994 and expanded to include the University of Pittsburgh in 2022. The CFAR has a mandate to coordinate basic and clinical research activities and to promote interdisciplinary research in HIV infection and AIDS.
One of the positive benefits of the CFAR is the uniting of basic scientists working on AIDS with their clinical colleagues. Since its founding in 1994, CFAR has been dedicated to coordinating an ever-expanding spectrum of AIDS-related activities. Major strengths include clinical and translational research, international research, and training young researchers.
