Colorado Center for AIDS Research

 

The Colorado CFAR, the only comprehensive AIDS research center from St. Louis to California, is a collaborative effort of HIV/AIDS investigators from the University of Colorado Denver and its affiliated institutions.

 

The Colorado CFAR provides a unique synthesis of basic, translational, and clinical research with public health and AIDS prevention programs. The goals of the University of Colorado CFAR are to provide scientific leadership and stimulate collaboration among HIV/AIDS investigators and those in related disciplines by providing institutional infrastructure and promoting scientific communication across disciplines.

 

In addition, the CFAR promotes opportunities for training and education in AIDS research, as well as the dissemination of knowledge to the scientific community and to the public at large.
