Training Initiatives

The CFAR Adelante Program is a collaboration between the Emory CFAR and DC CFAR funded by NIH/NIMHD. This initiative funds Latinx investigators to conduct HIV research in their own communities. 

The CFAR Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Pathway Initiative (CDEIPI) is an NIH-supported initiative in which 15 CFARs across the country are collaborating with Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and other Minority Serving Institutions to create career pathways in HIV science for Underrepresented Minority/Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) high school, undergraduate, graduate and postdoctoral students. 

The Mid Atlantic CFAR Consortium (MACC) is a collaboration between the John Hopkins University, DC and Penn CFARS. The Consortium works on manuscripts and joint funding applications in relation to the HIV epidemic among black MSM, and in particular young black MSM, in Baltimore, Philadelphia and Washington, DC.

The DC CFAR supports three T32 pre- and postdoctoral training grants to help develop the next generation of HIV researchers. In addition to our T32 programs, the DC CFAR also supports one NIH R25 Research Education Program.
