Columbia Research Unit, Harlem Prevention Center, Bronx Prevention and Project Achieve aim to speed the development of an effective HIV and COVID vaccines 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.

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.
