Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Pediatric and adolescent individuals living with HIV or who were affected by HIV in their youth, and related clinical sites and community representatives involved in PHACS.
✕Less likely to help
Some participants may not directly benefit from the administrative aspects of the program, as it focuses on coordination and governance.
What this research studies
This grant funds a central coordinating core for PHACS RISE, a multi-project effort that builds on existing PHACS infrastructure to study HIV, chronic stress, aging, and reproductive health in young people. The Scientific Administrative Core will organize scientific leadership, manage collaborations, and support clinical sites and data/sample use across projects. Researchers will use prior protocols and ongoing cohorts to recruit and follow key populations, ensuring rigorous governance and efficient operation. The work is clinical-research focused and relies on human participants and patient data from pediatric HIV cohorts.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the program could deepen our understanding of how HIV and aging affect health and development in youth, potentially guiding better care and long-term outcomes.
How similar studies have gone: PHACS infrastructure has a history of productive research with meaningful findings in pediatric HIV and aging; this core expands capabilities for future studies.
