UCLA CHIPTS, funded by the National Institute of Mental Health, leverages world class science to combat HIV globally, in partnership with communities, families, and individuals impacted by the pandemic. The Center for HIV Identification, Prevention, and Treatment Services (CHIPTS) is a collaboration of leading researchers from UCLA, Charles Drew University of Medicine and Science, Friends Research
Institute, and the RAND Corporation. Funded by the National Institutes of Mental Health, our mission is to eliminate new HIV infections by promoting collaborative research, fostering networking, and supporting capacity building, with an emphasis on key populations who face comorbidities. Both domestically and globally, CHIPTS has expertise in HIV program administration, junior faculty and trainee development, policy impact and evaluation, and innovation in interventions to optimize care and treatment of HIV-infected individuals and to expand prevention opportunities for HIV-uninfected at-risk individuals.
