The UCLA AIDS Institute receives most of its infrastructure support from the Centers for AIDS Research (CFAR) program of the National Institutes of Health. The program supports a multidisciplinary environment by promoting basic, behavioral, clinical, and translational research in prevention, detection, and treatment of HIV infection and AIDS.
