A partner of the Third Coast Center for AIDS Research (TC CFAR), the Chicago Center for HIV Elimination (CCHE) at the University of Chicago has released its 2023 Annual Report highlighting CCHE’s innovative research and services that aim to eliminate new HIV infections in the Chicago area.
CCHE’s Annual Report features current HIV studies and R01 projects led by the center’s investigators who have received funding from the TC CFAR to support their research, including Russell Brewer, DrPH, MPH; Anna Hotton, PhD, MPH; Jessica Ridgway, MD, MPH; and Kimberly Stanford, MD, MPH.
The annual report also highlights the CCHE’s Black Incubator and Accelerator (BIA) project, which supports Black-led and HIV-focused grassroots organizations in their professional development and capacity building. The BIA program is partially funded by the TC CFAR.
The TC CFAR’s participation in community sponsorship events where staff members disseminate HIV research and engage with community members is mentioned in the CCHE’s Annual Report.
