Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Infectious Disease Epidemiology
  • Health Services Research

Background:

  • The National Institutes of Health established Centers for AIDS Research (CFAR) in 1988 to advance HIV research.
  • Academic institutions formed the Mid-Atlantic CFAR Consortium (MACC) in 2014 to enhance collaboration and address regional HIV epidemics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the impact of the Mid-Atlantic CFAR Consortium (MACC) on scientific collaboration, investigator development, and strategic communication.
  • To evaluate the MACC's role in addressing HIV epidemics, particularly in underrepresented and marginalized communities.

Main Methods:

  • The MACC facilitated scientific collaboration through working groups focused on specific HIV epidemics (e.g., Black men who have sex with men, Latinx).
  • Developmental activities included a Scholars program, cross-CFAR mentoring, joint symposia, and seminars.
  • Strategic communication was promoted via advisory committees, consultations, and research networks.

Main Results:

  • Fostered scientific collaboration leading to joint publications and successful grant applications on HIV prevention, implementation science, and epidemiology.
  • Supported investigator development through diverse programs and mentoring opportunities across multiple institutions and cities.
  • Promoted strategic communication and addressed HIV in key populations, including young men who have sex with men and transgender women.

Conclusions:

  • The MACC has been highly impactful in promoting HIV science through regional collaboration and supporting a diverse network of scholars.
  • The consortium effectively focused on HIV epidemics within underrepresented and marginalized communities.
  • Lessons learned from the MACC may inform the development of other scientific research centers.
