Coordinating hub for understanding HIV reservoirs in children
Admin-Core-001
This program supports teams working to identify immune factors that let HIV hide in children so future treatments can better target those hidden virus reservoirs.

What this research studies
This Administrative Core organizes and supports multiple projects focused on why HIV becomes and stays hidden in children. It manages the program’s biorepository and coordinates the safe transfer and tracking of blood and tissue samples and related data. The Core handles regulatory paperwork, ensures animal- and human-use policies are followed, runs regular meetings to keep teams integrated, and mentors early-stage investigators. By keeping projects aligned and compliant, it helps make sure study results are reliable and ready to guide next steps.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Children and adolescents living with HIV (and their guardians) who are eligible for affiliated clinical protocols or willing to provide samples to the program’s biorepository are the ideal candidates.
Not a fit: People without HIV, adults who do not meet the program’s pediatric criteria, or those unwilling to provide samples are unlikely to directly benefit from this program.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this coordination could speed up discoveries about immune targets that might reduce or clear HIV reservoirs in children.
How similar studies have performed: Previous multi-project programs and research cores have helped advance HIV science, but directly understanding and eliminating pediatric HIV reservoirs remains challenging and is an evolving area.
