Areas of Research
The IMPAACT Network is committed to conducting high quality clinical trials that will advance the prevention and treatment of HIV and its complications for infants, children, adolescents, and pregnant/postpartum people globally. Our research agenda includes four scientific specific aims, reflecting the key areas of our work as outlined below. For each area, a Scientific Committee composed experts in the specific field, site investigators, community representatives, and representatives of the central network resources, continually reassesses the research priorities in light of emerging science as well as new ideas and opportunities; seeks collaboration with other trials networks and research entities; oversees the formulation and review of study concept plans based on the scientific priorities; and monitors the development and implementation of approved network studies in the specific research area.
