The Third Coast Center for AIDS Research (TC-CFAR) has a grand vision – to end the HIV epidemic, with Chicago as a national model for high-impact research collaborations. 

The Third Coast CFAR supports dissemination of HIV research and engagement between community members and investigators through Community Dissemination Awards (CDA). Applicants often propose integrating opportunities for engagement through Third Coast CFAR participation in events that include space for co-sponsors. Other creative mechanisms that promote research dissemination or foster engagement between community members, community organizations, and faculty are welcome and encouraged.
