Welcome to the HNRC

The Mission of the HNRC is to: 1) stimulate and support interdisciplinary collaborative research on neuroHIV at the local, national, and international levels that address emergent scientific themes and NIH Office of AIDS Research (OAR) priorities; 2) serve as a resource for scientific leadership, consultation, and training in neuroHIV research with the goal of stimulating new scientific discoveries that advance HIV research and have a long-lasting impact on the field; 3) facilitate research by providing a rich research infrastructure with access to state-of-the-art expertise and training in novel technologies, assays, and methods, as well as support from highly qualified data management and statistics teams; and 4) provide access to data and biospecimens from existing large, longitudinal, well-characterized cohorts of persons with or without HIV; and 5) provide recruitment and maintenance of cohorts to meet the needs of new and existing investigators.

INVESTIGATOR RESOURCES

The HNRC maintains an extensive data repository containing data from study participants including background history, neuromedical examinations, neurocognitive testing, laboratory measures, and in some instances more advanced neuroimaging and behavioral data.

PARTICIPATE IN RESEARCH

The HIV Neurobehavioral Research Center (HNRC) conducts research to learn how diseases like HIV, Hepatitis C infection (HCV), Methamphetamine dependence, and Bipolar Disorder as well as normal aging affect the brain and nervous system, as well as people's everyday lives. Since 1988, over 2,700 people have participated in research at the HNRC, and we are always seeking individuals from the community who are interested in participating.

TRAINING

There are several training programs associated with the HNRC including the Interdisciplinary Research Fellowship in NeuroAIDs (IRFN), and Mentored training program.
