The Tennessee Center for AIDS Research (TN-CFAR) leverages complementary strengths of its four partner institutions to have broad and substantial impact on the HIV epidemic. Through this four-way partnership between Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Meharry Medical College, the Tennessee Department of Health, and Nashville CARES, our vision is to have transformative, local and global translational impact. Guided by this vision, our mission is to coordinate the institutional and community strengths and resources of VUMC, MMC, TDH and CARES to most effectively reduce the burden of HIV/AIDS and generalize these benefits worldwide.
Founded in 2000 by funding from the National Cancer Institute, Meharry Medical College and Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center launched the MMC-VICC Cancer Partnership. The program expanded in 2006 to include Tennessee State University, creating the current Meharry-Vanderbilt-TSU Cancer Partnership. The program balances focus on population science, basic research, and clinical research to strengthen and expand cancer research.
