CFAR cores offer a cost-effective way to support cutting-edge HIV research for UAB and external collaborators. With 5 Cores, Scientific Working Groups, and a focus on Community engagement and genuine partnerships, explore our scientific services, pilot funding opportunities, and upcoming training events.
Administrative Core
The Administrative Core translates the CFAR's overall mission into action by operationalizing the governance, vision, evaluation, and strategic planning.
Developmental Core
The Developmental Core cultivates early-stage and mid-to-senior career researchers new to HIV through mentorship, financial support, linkage to UAB CFAR services, and collaboration with investigators and research networks.
Clinical Core
The Clinical Core offers immediate access to comprehensive services for interdisciplinary scientists conducting clinical research at the UAB 1917 Clinic and beyond, advancing HIV prevention and treatment science for health equity and an end to HIV in Alabama and the Deep South.
Implementation and Community Sciences Core
