The goal of the Clinical Core to provide focused yet comprehensive support of human HIV/AIDS-related studies from their conception through implementation. 

 

The overall mission of the Clinical Investigation Core is:

 

  • To provide comprehensive support of HIV-related clinical investigation with a special emphasis on providing support to junior investigators, investigators new to AIDS clinical research, and investigators new to patient-oriented research in general.
  • To ensure the recruitment of HIV-1 infected persons with diverse racial, cultural, and gender characteristics at multiple sites throughout Colorado for participation in CFAR clinical and translational research studies.
  • To provide integrated antiretroviral clinical pharmacology expertise and resources to support the clinical and translational research by D-CFAR investigators in Colorado and by AIDS investigators throughout the United States.
  • To ensure the quality of CFAR-supported clinical investigation through training and certification of CFAR investigators in the principles of clinical research and human subject protections.
  • To encourage collaborative interactions among laboratory-based, translational and clinical investigators, thereby promoting the growth of cutting edge clinical HIV/AIDS research in Colorado.
  • To pro-actively identify and correct gaps in HIV/AIDS clinical investigation in Colorado and to provide core facilities and services that will enhance interdisciplinary collaborations and eliminate gaps.

 

The Clinical Investigation Core will provide three main resources to support clinical research of CFAR investigators:  a clinical research resource, a clinical pharmacology resource, and a specimen management resource.
