Strengthening Training and Advancement in Research (STAR) program funded through the CFAR

Enhancing pathway programs to increase representation in HIV research is the goal of the CFAR STAR program, led by Drs. Rana and Elopre. In 2023, STAR provided "HIV 101" sessions for local high school students and plans to expand the STAR program with a peer mentoring component for college students.
