International HIV Prevention Research at the Center for AIDS Prevention Studies, University of California San Francisco

The principal objective of the International Core at the Center for AIDS Prevention Studies (CAPS) is to facilitate high quality international research by creating effective and productive partnerships between CAPS scientists and HIV prevention researchers from developing countries. The International Core brings together CAPS scientists and alumni of the Collaborative Prevention Research in Developing Countries Program, a training program for new developing country researchers (described below). CAPS has successfully developed a broad portfolio of small-scale international research projects conducted by CAPS scientists and Program alumni. Together we have made important contributions toward understanding how to prevent HIV transmission and how to care for the HIV-infected in the developing world.
