National Institutes of Health (NIH) research requires the inclusion of minority and vulnerable populations so that study results are representative of the American public. The UCLA Vine Street Clinic was established to meet this need.
The focus of the research at the UCLA Vine Street Clinic is HIV prevention and the development of medications for addiction. For example, a study might look for someone interested in reducing or stopping cocaine use and ask them to test a particular medication to see if it’s effective.
