HVTN provides structured mentorship and project funding to investigators working on HIV vaccines.

The RSC Public Website, run by the DAIDS Regulatory Support Center (RSC) contractor, has been used in the DAIDS community for over 10 years and is a primary platform to communicate updates to templates, process changes, and other information needed by the RSC research community.

Website resources include: DAIDS policies, manuals and other guidelines and standards, process tutorials, reports and information specific to task areas, relevant contact information, and external links.

The Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study (MACS) is an ongoing prospective study of the natural and treated histories of HIV-1 infection in homosexual and bisexual men conducted by sites located in Baltimore, Chicago, Pittsburgh and Los Angeles. MACS public data set has been released from CAMACS (Center for Analysis and Management of Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study) since 1994 when the MACS Executive Committee made the recommendations on the content of the public data.

The ChemDB database contains information extracted from scientific literature on the structure and activity of compounds that have been tested against HIV, opportunistic pathogens, and TB. This database is continually updated with information extracted from published literature, including the chemical structure and biological activity of compounds.

The ACTG NL consists of Core Laboratory groups in immunology, pharmacology, virology and TB. Each Core Laboratory Group is comprised of several Specialty Laboratories that provide a broad range of assays and services required to conduct the scientific agenda of the ACTG and to complement laboratory services, and where appropriate, with that of other DAIDS-sponsored HIV/AIDS clinical trials networks.

The specimen repositories are a collaboration between the ACTG and IMPAACT clinical trial networks to make the large body of specimens collected for HIV research available to investigators.

The specimens stored at the repositories were initially collected for specific studies that have concluded, and are now available to investigators conducting new research.

The HIV Database and Analysis Unit provides an integrated repository of HIV sequence and immunological data from publications, by (i) curating and maintaining a relational database with searchable web access for the scientific community, and (ii) developing web-based computational analysis tools for researchers.

The database is located at the Los Alamos National Laboratory, New Mexico and aims to provide to research community a centralized resource of global HIV sequences and information on HIV immune responses.

The International Maternal Pediatric Adolescent AIDS Clinical Trials (IMPAACT) Early Career Investigator Mentored Research program aims to support the development of early career investigators to enter the field of maternal/child HIV research and advance the mission of the IMPAACT Network. In coordination with mentors, early career investigators are invited to propose a project that takes advantage of data and/or samples generated by the IMPAACT Network.

Successful applicants will be funded for 24 months, subject to certain restrictions.

The main purpose of the International Maternal Pediatric Adolescent AIDS Clinical Trials (IMPAACT) Laboratory Center is to support the network’s scientific agenda by providing state of the art laboratory testing in support of clinical trials, new works concept sheets (NWCS), and data analysis concept sheets (DACS); designing and evaluating new assays to elucidate pathogenesis; and providing scientific support to the network.
