The CPCRA was one of four networks that NIH was using to conduct clinical trials that were looking to understand possible therapies for people with HIV infection.<ref>{{cite press release |url=https://aidsinfo.nih.gov/news/123/niaid-research-on-aids |title=NIAID Research on AIDS |publisher=aidsinfo.nih.gov |date= 1 January 1995 |accessdate=22 April 2016}}</ref> Th CPCRA network was community-based with access to diverse populations across the spectrum of HIV diseases..."<ref>[{{Cite web |url=http://cpcra.s-3.com/] |title=Archived copy |access-date=2012-08-08 |archive-url=https://archive.is/20130201184215/http://cpcra.s-3.com/ |archive-date=2013-02-01 |dead-url=yes }}</ref>

The overall objective of the CPCRA is to design studies of sufficient size and duration of follow up to evaluate the long-term benefits and [[unintended consequence]]s of various treatment strategies using available agents to assess long-term immunologic, virology and clinical outcomes. CPCRA trials are designed with nested sub-studies aimed at understanding the pathogenesis of HIV infection and the public health implications of its treatment.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.niaid.nih.gov/DAIDs/pdatguide/cpcra.htm |title=Archived copy |accessdate=April 17, 2007 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070703233645/http://www.niaid.nih.gov/daids/PDATguide/cpcra.htm |archivedate=July 3, 2007 }}</ref>
