Centers for AIDS Research (CFAR) and Developmental Centers for AIDS Research (D-CFAR) (P30 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
This NOFO funds AIDS research centers that provide administrative and shared research support infrastructure to enhance HIV/AIDS research, including D-CFAR developmental centers, for eligible applicant organizations.
⚑ P30 Clinical Trial Not Allowed · supports shared research resources/infrastructure rather than individual research projects · interdisciplinary HIV/AIDS research center mechanism
This is a biomedical HIV/AIDS research infrastructure program centered on clinical and public-health science, not the team’s core social-behavioral lines in risk, weather, energy, education policy, or security attitudes. The only possible connection would be very indirect methodological or evaluation support, so it is not a plausible PI-level fit for this roster.
