Julie Levison, MD, MPhil, MPH, has received a CFAR ADELANTE Award from the National Institutes of Health, the Office of AIDS Research and the NIH-funded Centers for AIDS Research to support new investigators working on HIV research in Latinos. Hispanic/Latino populations in the U.S. currently bear a disproportionate burden of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Adelante means forward or onward in Spanish. The goals of the ADELANTE Program are to decrease HIV-related health disparities in Hispanic/Latino communities and to promote the mentored development of new investigators to focus on HIV/AIDS in Hispanic/Latino populations.
