Nevada Aids Research and Education Society

NARES² is a non-profit, community-based research consortium dedicated to improving people’s lives through healthcare research and education. NARES²—Nevada Access to Research and Education Society, Nevada AIDS Research and Education Society and the Nevada Antimicrobial Research Foundation—is engaged in FDA-approved clinical drug trials at all levels—Phase I, Phase II, Phase III and Phase IV.

Realizing that a high quality life involves more that simple physical health, NARES² complements clinical trials with psychosocial and behavioral research. NARES² was founded as a non-profit so that any potential income from clinical trials could be reinvested in the various communities being served.

NARES² was founded in 1994 as a means of ensuring that People Living with HIV/AIDS had access to the best new therapies. NARES² continues to sponsor therapeutic drug trials for people infected with HIV. Furthermore, NARES² was selected as one of the United States sites for the first-ever Phase III AIDS vaccine trial.

NARES² Co-Founder, Dr. Jim Christensen, an established allergist and immunologist, had been actively engaged in clinical research in 1994 for many years. In order to help diversify NARES² and ensure its survival, Dr. Christensen folded his successful research efforts into NARES². Clinical trials for asthma and other respiratory problems have been a part of NARES² since its inception. For a complete list of NARES² ongoing Asthma clinical trials, click here.

However in 1998, NARES² expanded its mission to include treatment for diabetes, hyperlipidemia, gout, hypertension, pain and other general internal medicine problems. For a complete list of NARES² ongoing General Medical clinical trials, click here.

In addition, NARES² has participated in other infectious disease clinical trials. All NARES² investigators are practicing clinicians as well as researchers with particular expertise in HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis C and other infectious diseases as well as general internal medicine. In an effort to assure a greater focus on the emerging infectious disease problems in health care, the Nevada Antimicrobial Research Foundation was created within NARES² in 2006.
