ABOUT
Research partnerships in Africa and Asia are central to the success of the UNC CFAR, whose organizing purpose is to change the course of the epidemic through discovery. Toward this end, we have made extensive, sustained investments in HIV research and training sites in Africa and Asia, and have chosen 5 countries in which to focus our NIH-sponsored HIV/AIDS research. These are: Malawi, South Africa, Zambia, China, and Vietnam. The International Core was formed with an understanding that it can be challenging to conduct biomedical and translational research in resource-constrained settings, and that by centralizing certain common functions we can maximize creativity, innovation, and impact.
Our activities are bi-directional: we connect UNC investigators to key populations in Africa and Asia, and we connect in-country scientists to research and training resources at our US location.
Services Offered by the International Core
Consultation and expertise in human subject research and ethics in foreign countries
Centralized management of US and foreign IRB submissions and other regulatory matters
Support for new protocol development through the review of new funding submissions, including design, approach, budget, grant assembly, internal review, and obtaining letters of support
Connecting international scientists to resources and expertise on the UNC campus
Developing new lab capacity and supporting the introduction of new assays
Supporting standardization of data collection and database maintenance across sites
The International Core stimulates scientific collaboration in interdisciplinary and translational research by familiarizing collaborators with the resources of all the CFAR cores, and by helping CFAR investigators from UNC, Family Health International (FHI 360) and Research Triangle Institute (RTI) conduct research in these key countries.
The International Core sponsors a wide array of training opportunities through the resources of the UNC Fogarty Center, USAID, and NGOs including FHI 360, and the Clinton Foundation; and provides in-country outreach and educational opportunities including scientific dissemination meetings.
Jeff Stringer, MD
Core Director

Dr. Jeff Stringer, MD is a Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at University of North Carolina’s School of Medicine, and Director of UNC’s Global Women’s Health. His research focuses on PMTCT, preterm birth, and HIV/AIDS in women and children. He is experienced in science leadership, having led large interventional, observational, translational, and implementation research efforts, and having held leadership roles within the DAIDS HIV/AIDS clinical trials networks. Dr. Stringer has served as PI for over $200 million in federal and foundation grant and contract funding. His current portfolio includes funding from NIH/NIAID, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation.In 2001, Dr. Stringer and his colleagues established the Centre for Infectious Disease Research in Zambia (CIDRZ). Over the following decade, he led the growth of CIDRZ and a diverse faculty of obstetricians, pediatricians, internists, and epidemiologists. Since its inception, CIDRZ has reached over 1,400,000 women with services to protect their infants from HIV infection. The organization also works in cervical cancer screening (more than 100,000 women served) and in safe obstetrics. Dr. Stringer returned to the US in 2012 to lead UNC’s Global Women’s Health. He continues to travel to Africa at least quarterly.

Benjamin Chi, MD, MSc
Core Associate Director

Dr. Benjamin Chi, MD, MSc holds appointments in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Department of Epidemiology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He lived in Lusaka for over a decade (2003-2015), where he led a research portfolio focused on the prevention of mother-to-child transmission, HIV care and treatment, and maternal and child health. He has served on guideline committees for the World Health Organization and as a consultant to UNICEF, working to translate research to policy. Since returning to Chapel Hill in 2015, his activities in Zambia have expanded to other neighboring countries, including Malawi, Zimbabwe, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. In addition, Dr. Chi leads several research training programs designed to foster U.S. collaborations abroad, including the UNC Global Women’s Health Fellowship and the UJMT Fogarty Global Health Fellows Consortium. He is an active mentor to numerous faculty and fellows—from the U.S. and abroad—with dedicated NIH support to these efforts.

Services
Consultation in human subjects research in foreign countries
-Maintain a dynamic informational display of current international research in HIV/AIDS by UNC investigators, with links to information about international research by the CFAR partner institutions, RTI and FHI. The goal is to foster collaborations between existing international researchers and to facilitate access to international sites for new investigators.
-Convene international research experts from UNC, FHI and RTI to collect up-to-date information on country-specific expertise and on-going projects.
Centralized management of foreign country IRB and other regulatory matters
-Provide guidance on the ethics of international research on HIV/AIDS, through hands-on consultation and assistance with IRB issues, informed consent, and the regulatory requirements of international research, and through maintaining links to training and informational websites developed at other institutions.
Proposal development and technical support
-Assist international collaborators and trainees to develop independent proposals for NIH funding, focusing particularly on the countries with which UNC has ongoing collaborative research projects. Currently, these include: China, Malawi, Madagascar, Congo, Cameroon, South Africa, and Russia.
-In collaboration with the other cores, assist in providing technical support for clinical and basic research laboratories in resource-constrained settings for STD/HIV research, with special focus on countries with ongoing collaborative research projects.
