Duke CFAR
VISION
The vision of the Duke Center for AIDS Research (CFAR) is to foster interdisciplinary collaborations and catalyze translational research innovations with the goal of transforming care for people with or at risk of HIV infection to end the HIV epidemic, with a particular focus on the Southeastern United States. To achieve this vision in the next phase of our CFAR, we will foster a research ecosystem supportive of the next generation of HIV investigators, stimulate multidisciplinary collaboration and team science, provide cutting edge infrastructure, and promote and disseminate knowledge across our institution, community, and beyond. To ensure that the scientific discoveries supported by the CFAR are translated rapidly, we will extend our partnerships and collaborations with community organizations, local and state public health departments and academic institutions to align our work with the health priorities of our communities and patients.
The Duke CFAR boasts a broad engagement, bringing together researchers and health care providers from across the Duke University campus including Centers, Institutes, Departments, and Schools. CFAR brings together 5 service Cores, a health services research SWG, and community engagement to support HIV researchers in reducing the burden of HIV and ending the epidemic.
