About The Case CFAR
Since its foundation in 1994, the Case Western Reserve University Center for Aids Research (Case CFAR) has been a center of excellence for both clinical and basic AIDS research. As the only NIH-funded CFAR in the Midwestern United States, we have provided our 160 members with national and international research, especially with respect to research in tuberculosis and HIV malignancy, microbicides, pathogenesis, virology, clinical trials, and training. As the first CFAR to make a major investment in international research, we have been able to expand a highly productive and long-standing (23 year) scientific relationship with Makerere University, Kampala, Uganda.

Core Laboratory Facilities
The Case CFAR program emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration between basic science and clinical investigators, research in which findings from the laboratory are brought to the clinic and vice versa, and an emphasis upon the inclusion minorities and inclusion of prevention and behavioral change research. Case CFAR accomplishes this through core facilities that provide expertise, resources and services not readily obtained through more traditional funding mechanisms. Link
