Title
Community Research Initiative of New England
Description
Community Research Initiative of New England (CRI) is the only independent, nonprofit community-based organization in New England solely dedicated to HIV clinical research, treatment education and financial assistance for approved drug treatments and health insurance coverage.
Working to improve the lives of people living with HIV/AIDS for over 17 years, Boston-based CRI (led by Dr. Calvin Cohen, Director of Research), Springfield office and satellite office in Provincetown have participated in some of the most promising HIV medication research being conducted in the world. Through its continued outreach efforts, CRI provides the latest critical treatment information to all people living with HIV/AIDS, including women, people of color, and others who have been traditionally underserved. CRI has produced critical research and drug testing data that has contributed to the FDA approval of nearly half the currently available HIV treatments. CRI's contributions to Phase IV (post-drug approval) studies continue to have a major impact on treatment evaluation.
With its ongoing commitment to reach the state's most needy individuals, CRI delivers immediate access to life-saving drugs, health insurance and education programs through its management of the Massachusetts HIV Drug Assistance Program (HDAP).
