About C3PNO: Our mission is to stimulate research and encourage new collaborations studying substance use in the context of HIV pathogenesis. C3PNO fosters cutting-edge science powered by the cohorts’ combined sample size of over 12,000 participants. These cohorts span North America and some, like ALIVE and VIDUS, reach back over 25 years. The cohorts include injecting drug users, men who have sex with men, and clinically-based populations. Participating cohorts include ACCESS, ALIVE, HYM, Johns Hopkins HIV Clinical Cohort, the John Hopkins Heart Study, MASH, mSTUDY, RADAR, and VIDUS.

C3PNO is led by co-Principal Investigators Pamina Gorbach, DrPH, MHS (University of California Los Angles) and Suzanne Siminski, MS, MBA (Frontier Science).
