A center that manages data and collaborates with clinical sites to study HIV-related brain disorders.
Official title: DATA COORDINATING CENTER TO PROVIDE SERVICES TO WORK COLLABORATIVELY WITH THE NATIONAL NEUROHIV TISSUE CONSORTIUM CLINICAL SITES TO PROVIDE MANAGEMENT AND DATABASE CAPABILITIES, SCIENTIFIC EXPERTISE,
Funded at The Emmes Company, LLC · NIH-11166256 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is looking at how HIV affects the brain by collecting samples and information from both HIV positive and negative people, so we can better understand neuroHIV disorders and improve care for those affected.

Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Ideal candidates for this research are individuals diagnosed with HIV who are willing to participate in extensive clinical evaluations and sample collection.
✕Less likely to help
Patients who are not diagnosed with HIV or those who do not wish to participate in clinical assessments may not benefit from this research.
What this research studies
This research focuses on the National NeuroHIV Tissue Consortium, which collects and distributes biological samples from HIV positive and negative patients to enhance understanding of neuroHIV disorders. The project involves gathering extensive clinical data, including neuropsychological assessments and laboratory results, from a cohort of HIV positive patients. It also includes the banking of various biological samples and the implementation of advanced testing methods such as neuroimaging and biomarker analysis. The data coordinating center will ensure adherence to protocols and provide comprehensive data management and analysis.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved understanding and treatment of neurological complications associated with HIV.
How similar studies have gone: Previous research has shown success in similar approaches, particularly in the collection and analysis of biological samples to study neurological conditions related to HIV.
