Emory CFAR Value Added
A central purpose of any NIH funded CFAR is to provide “value added” to its home University’s AIDS research program. Any action that promotes HIV/AIDS research productivity is considered to be “Value Added” if it wouldn’t have happened if CFAR were not at Emory to provide the funding that supports HIV/AIDS recruitment, faculty and staff time, equipment, laboratories, and seed grant funding.
The provision of any tangible assistance (e.g. access to funding, equipment, assays, specimens) or intangible assistance (e.g. access to priority time, expertise, collaborations) that makes your HIV/AIDS research happen "better*" is considered to be value added.
*"Better" can be defined as research that happens:
- faster
- more efficiently
- more cost effectively
- more imaginatively
- more collaboratively
- more interdisciplinarily
- etc.
