Houston: A University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work research center working to eradicate the underlying serious and systemic challenges that contribute to the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the Southern United States has received $5 million in renewal funding from biopharmaceutical company Gilead Sciences, Inc. to facilitate the continuation of its impactful work.
Led by assistant professor Samira Ali, the SUSTAIN Wellbeing COMPASS Coordinating Center is one of four coordinating centers in the Gilead COMPASS Initiative®, an unprecedented $100 million collaborative effort to reduce HIV/AIDS disparities in care and advance equities over 10 years in the South, which is disproportionately impacted by the epidemic.
