The mission of the Harvard University Center for AIDS Research is to expand, promote, and facilitate collaborative, multidisciplinary activities in AIDS research among CFAR members and their colleagues throughout Harvard Medical School and across the University, in order to help end the pandemic.


The goals of the merged HU CFAR are
(1) To consolidate and expand existing collaborations among the members of two existing, highly successful HMS-affiliated CFARs.
(2) Promote new interactions and research initiatives capable of more effectively addressing key AIDS research questions.These goals are the product of over two decades of commitment of HMS institutions and their investigators to AIDS research, education, and patient care, and build on the existing and interactive CFAR infrastructure at the two HMS-affiliated CFARs. The scientific foundation of the proposed CFAR is the history of significant contributions to AIDS research made by investigators in the Harvard Medical School community. Harvard Medical School and its affiliated institutions have an extraordinary breadth and depth of investigations in AIDS and related fields of research. Activities among the 179 NIH-funded investigators conducting AIDS related research include studies of molecular virology, pathogenesis, host response, epidemiology, treatment, vaccines and prevention, to which Harvard investigators have consistently made high-impact contributions.
The HU CFAR encompasses clinical and basic science research conducted at HMS and its affiliated institutions:
