The National Centre in HIV Epidemiology and Clinical Research (NCHECR) is recognised internationally as a research leader in the field of HIV/AIDS. Studies around other blood borne viruses, particularly hepatitis C and sexually transmitted infections are also part of the Centre’s research profile. The NCHECR undertakes research that focuses on epidemiology, clinical research and clinical trials, in collaboration with other research centres, government departments, the pharmaceutical industry, community groups, health clinics and general practitioners. Since 1986 NCHECR has undertaken studies of disease natural history, viral transmission, and therapeutic and preventive effectiveness. Its major strength is in bringing together collaborative interdisciplinary teams to address key epidemiological and clinical research questions. NCHECR is affiliated with the University of New South Wales through the Faculty of Medicine and is located on the campus of St Vincent’s Hospital, a major teaching hospital of UNSW in Sydney, Australia. Core funding for the Centre comes via a grant from the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing to the University of New South Wales. Infrastructure funding is also provided by the NSW Office of Science and Medical Research. Other funding is obtained from national and international competitive research grants, as well as the pharmaceutical industry. Events | Forms | Join A Study | HIM | Annual Reports
