Columbia Research Unit, Harlem Prevention Center, Bronx Prevention Center, and Project Achieve aim to speed the development of an effective HIV vaccine and to set the standards of care for people living with HIV. It is through community engagement and clinical research that we hope to accomplish those goals.Sponsored by the National Institute of Health (NIH), we are a part of the international HIV clinical trials networks, the HIV Vaccine Trials Networks (HVTN), the HIV Prevention Trials Network (HPTN), and the AIDS Clinical Trials Group (ACTG).NYC collaborators include Project ACHIEVE of the New York Blood Center, Harlem Prevention Center, the Bronx Prevention Center, and Columbia Research Unit. Together, we form the NIH-funded Columbia Partnership for the Prevention and Control of HIV/AIDS Clinical Trials Unit.
