Clinical and Health Services Research (CHSR) Core
The Clinical and Health Services Research Core (CHSR) is a new Core dedicated to multidisciplinary, collaborative research focusing on HIV prevention, care, and treatment in national and international settings. The CHSR Core is founded on a commitment to developing and testing methodologically rigorous clinical intervention strategies to address HIV prevention, care, and treatment. Rather than testing whether a single, previously untested, intervention is successful, these strategic interventions will test whether a pre specified approach or strategy, which combines a number of smaller interventions, demonstrated to be successful in other settings, is successful as a whole. Members of the CHSR Core have significant research expertise in HIV/AIDS, ranging from HIV prevention in communities, both nationally and internationally, to substance abuse treatment among those at risk for or living with HIV, to treatment of comorbid conditions associated with HIV. Members of the CHSR Core also bring strong methodological backgrounds in modeling and cost-effectiveness, health economics, and psychometrics.

The CHSR Core offers a variety of services to CIRA Affiliated Projects and Scientists, including:
- Supporting multi-disciplinary, collaborative research focusing on prevention, care, and treatment of HIV/AIDS and addressing comorbid medical, psychiatric, and behavioral conditions.
- Organizing dinner workshops and working groups focused on major Core clinical and health services research topics of interest.
- Bringing new perspectives and strategies to HIV/AIDS research by recruiting and retaining new faculty, fellows, and students from academic disciplines and methodological backgrounds underrepresented in HIV/AIDS intervention research.
- Developing the capacity of CIRA scientists to identify and conduct clinical research that can have a sustainable effect on clinical practice and policy related to HIV/AIDS.
