Epidemiological/Long-Term Cohort Studies
The goals of CIPRA are to provide long-term support to developing countries to (1) plan and implement a comprehensive HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment research agenda relevant to their populations; and (2) enhance the infrastructure necessary to conduct such research. The program provides flexibility for applicants with different levels of research capabilities.
A data analysis center that compiles data from DAIDS-funded international research use by DAIDS-funded investigators to answer population level questions on HIV variants and resistance, HIV pathogenesis in different settings, success of HAART therapy, treated history of HIV in different populations, success of prevention strategies, or vaccine related questions. The center also fosters collaborations with other large databases.
