This issue of the Network News marks the last under the Founding editorship of Kimbi Hagen. Rolled out in its current format in 2012, Network News has delivered on its promise to provide "useful news or your money back" that is "distributed to CFAR members and fans by email every Wednesday. Except when it isn't."
On a related note, Kimbi has been tapped to serve as founding editor for "The SCORE & More!," a hopefully-weekly newsletter to be published by the Emory Specialized Center of Research Excellence on Sex Differences (SCORE).
SCORE and More! will follow the same format as Network News but with an enlarged focus that encompasses HIV and other basic, clinical, and social/behavioral research that affects and is affected by the sex or gender of human subjects and/or the biological sex of other animals.
Interested in receiving SCORE & More!? Email kbs.hagen@emory.edu
Front & Center ... 2021 CFAR Core Services Survey
Do You Do HIV Research?
Please take a few minutes to complete the 2021 CFAR Core Services Survey
whether or not you have utilized CFAR Cores.
The Emory CFAR submits a competitive renewal application this coming summer and to ensure that we propose Cores and Core services that meet the research needs and expectations of HIV investigators, we need to know what those research needs and expectations are.
Your honest feedback and assessment will help us to do that.
As a reminder, the CFAR currently provides services through the following Cores:
• Administrative Core
• Biostatistics and Bioinformatics Core
• Clinical Research Core
• Developmental Core
• Immunology Core
• Prevention Science Core
• Virology & Molecular Biomarkers Core
Deadline: Friday, February 26.
If you have any questions, or if we can provide any additional information, please contact Shelle Bryant at sbryant@emory.edu. Thank you in advance for your feedback!
