Project Description
The Program for Advanced ReseArch Capacities for AIDS in Peru (PARACAS) plans to expand its current focus of providing long term, sustainable care to people living with HIV/AIDS and actively contribute to eliminating pediatric HIV in Peru. PARACAS will reinforce the doctoral-level Implementation Science mentored-research training for outstanding young and mid-career health researchers; this will allow them to design and test effective interventions tailored to the health context. This program should consolidate the proficient and passionate HIV scientific workforce in Peru that is needed to reach an AIDS free generation.
