For the first time in the global response to HIV/AIDS, consensus is emerging that turning the tide against the global pandemic is possible. Treatment of HIV infection has evolved from toxic, complex and relatively brittle to well tolerated, simple and potent. HIV-infection persons, especially if treated early in the course of disease, can expect normal lifespans.

The CFAR Mentoring Program is designed to help develop the scientific career goals of early stage HIV investigators and postdoctoral scholars.

Implementation science is an emerging field focused on closing the gap between efficacious interventions and real world practice. While the HIV research community has enthusiastically embraced the motivation for implementation science, there is far less consensus on the critical approaches to successful conduct of implementation science in the context of the HIV epidemic. Many methodological issues, which have perhaps been less emphasized in traditional clinical research, are particularly salient for knowledge about implementation. External validity is as important as internal validity.
