UNC MACS/WIHS Combined Cohort Study Clinical Research Site
Description: PROJECT NARRATIVE This application proposes to establish The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill as a Clinical Research Site (CRS) for the Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study (MACS)/Women’s Interagency HIV Study (WIHS) Combined Cohort Study (MACS/WIHS-CCS). We propose to rapidly establish the UNC MACS/WIHS-CCS CRS, contribute meaningfully to the MACS/WIHS-CCS Unified Science Agenda, and undertake ambitious research that encompasses pulmonary, cardiovascular, neurocognitive, and other HIV-related comorbidities; HIV pathogenesis/cure; social epidemiology and health outcomes; behavioral research; and advanced epidemiologic methods. By contributing a representative population of men and women, innovative science, and a strong, multidisciplinary cadre of investigators, UNC will enhance the efforts of the MACS/WIHS-CCS, expand the range of questions that can be addressed and, in collaboration with the entire group, improve the health of men and women with or at high risk for HIV infection.
