A five-year, $8.5-million grant from the National Institutes of Health will continue support for the Lifespan/Tufts/Brown Center for AIDS Research (CFAR). The CFAR is nationally recognized for its expertise in the management of HIV infection in women, delivery of HIV care in the correctional system, clarification of the nutritional consequences of HIV infection, and management of HIV/tuberculosis co-infections in the developing world. The Miriam Hospital serves as the primary contracting institution for the center.
