Coordinating efforts to understand HIV antibody development in infants
Official title: Core A: Administrative Core
Funded at Univ of North Carolina Chapel Hill · NIH-11059120 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is looking at how to help babies with HIV by figuring out what helps their bodies make strong antibodies to fight the virus, and it’s all about making sure the researchers work well together and share their findings easily.

Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Ideal candidates for benefiting from this research include infants at risk of HIV infection and those involved in studies related to HIV antibody development.
✕Less likely to help
Patients who are not infants or those who do not have a risk of HIV infection may not receive direct benefits from this research.
What this research studies
This research focuses on the coordination and management of a program aimed at identifying the factors that lead to the development of broadly neutralizing antibodies against HIV in infant rhesus macaques. The Administrative Core will facilitate collaboration among various scientific projects, ensuring efficient data sharing and resource allocation. By overseeing financial management and compliance, the core aims to reduce administrative burdens and enhance the overall effectiveness of the research program. This structured approach is essential for achieving the program's scientific milestones and advancing our understanding of HIV.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to breakthroughs in HIV prevention and treatment strategies, particularly for vulnerable populations such as infants.
How similar studies have gone: While this specific administrative approach is essential for the program's success, similar research efforts have shown promise in understanding HIV antibody development in other contexts.
