Institutional Affiliations and Partnership

The HIV Center for Clinical and Behavioral Studies is a department within the New York State Psychiatric Institute (NYSPI). Our grants are administered by the Research Foundation for Mental Hygiene, Inc., which is responsible for overall administration of sponsored research programs carried out by scientists at NYSPI. The HIV Center is also affiliated with Columbia University, in particular the Department of Psychiatry of the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons and the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health (SPH). The HIV Center also has strong connections to the Columbia University School of Social Work and the clinical care centers of the Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC).

 

HIV Center maintains partnerships with New York City-based institutions that include the National Development and Research Institutes, Inc. (NDRI); Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center; Hunter College; New York University; and Albert Einstein College of Medicine. We work closely with the Departments of Health of both New York City and New York State.

 

The HIV Center is a founder of the New York HIV Research Centers Consortium, which links 18 major HIV research centers in the New York tri-state area to promote inter-institutional, multi-disciplinary collaborations that will enhance both scientific knowledge and the dissemination of knowledge to public policy makers, researchers, and HIV-affected communities.

 

The HIV Center has strong alliances with many community organizations in the greater New York City area including Harlem United, Gay Men's Health Crisis (GMHC), the Minority AIDS Task Force, the Hetrick-Martin Institute, the Hudson Valley LGBT Center, the Long Island Crisis Center, and the Hispanic AIDS Forum.

 

The HIV Center also has many longer-distance collaborations with research institutions such as the Center for AIDS Prevention Studies (CAPS) at the University of California at San Francisco, the Center for AIDS Intervention Research (CAIR) at the Medical College of Wisconsin, the Center for HIV Identification, Prevention, and Treatment Services (CHIPTS) at the University of California at Los Angeles, and the Center for Interdisciplinary Research on AIDS (CIRA) at Yale University.
