The San Diego Center for AIDS Research (CFAR) is becoming a regional resource in HIV research and education. Established in 1994 by a grant from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), the CFAR has served laboratory scientists, clinicians, and the public for over two decades.
We presently have nine service areas, or cores, that offer unique laboratory and clinical resources. We also offer several internal grants throughout the year and sponsor scientific seminars on various topics of HIV and co-sponsor seminars on global health with an emphasis on HIV. Most of our seminars are open to the public, and some of our speakers allow us to post their slides for downloading.
Our Center is managed by an Executive Committee, an External Advisory Committee, and an administrative team. Although the Committees set the course for our Center, we also appreciate constructive suggestions from our members.
Full CFAR membership is open to faculty members at UC San Diego and five other local research institutions. Community membership is available to staff at our institutions and to anyone with an interest in HIV research. We have community members as far away as Nigeria and India. Please see our membership page for more information.
We invite you to explore our site, review our core facilities, our grant applications, and our news. And, of course, we welcome your membership and support. If you have any questions, please contact us.
