Forum for Collaborative HIV Research

Who We Are

The Forum for Collaborative HIV Research is a public-private partnership that facilitates discussion on emerging issues in HIV clinical research and works to translate research results into patient care. Participants include government agencies, the pharmaceutical and diagnostic industry, HIV researchers and clinicians, foundations and other donor organizations and the HIV patient advocacy community. By encouraging coordination among key stakeholders, the Forum allows studies performed by various research entities to begin faster; reduces duplication of effort; enhances patient enrollment and retention; allows the costs of answering critical questions to be shared; and allows research results to be used more effectively and more expeditiously.

Launched in 1997, the Forum is now affiliated with the Department of Prevention and Community Health at The George Washington University School of Public Health and Health Services. Core funding comes from a number of agencies within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the pharmaceutical and diagnostic industry and third party payors.

What We Do

In line with its mission to enhance and facilitate HIV research, the Forum:

  • Assesses current knowledge, practice patterns, ongoing studies and information in all areas affecting HIV disease, including the basic, clinical and social sciences, public health and health services research.
  • Identifies gaps in the current HIV/AIDS knowledge base.
  • Provides mechanisms for experts from the Forum constituencies to meet, discuss and synthesize information relevant to the issue.
  • Recommends steps to fill identified gaps.
  • Catalyzes appropriate stakeholders to act on Forum recommendations.
  • Facilitates the development of a strategy and proposes new mechanisms to conduct needed studies, should existing sources be inadequate.
