A record 63,000 New Yorkers expanded the impact of our volunteer- led programs at 1,350 nonprofits and public schools citywide. These caring individuals ensured that the life-saving and life-enriching services our programs offer are delivered daily to New Yorkers living at or below the poverty line. Thanks to the generous support we received from people like you, our volunteers accomplished a great deal, including: Education: • reinforcing reading and math skills in 22,000 elementary school students • tutoring more than 1,000 high school juniors for their SATs • preparing 20,000 adults for the workforce Immediate needs: • serving 550,000 meals to the hungry (+10% vs. the prior year) • collecting 100,000 warm winter coats–a record number not seen since Hurricane Sandy • helping 19,000 seniors avoid the debilitating effects of social isolation Revitalization of public spaces: Paul J. Taubman • cleaning, greening and painting more than 170 parks, community gardens and schools Board President We are equally proud of the enormous progress made in serving the South Bronx, Central Brooklyn and Central Queens through our Focus Zone initiative.

    THE EXPERIENCES OF NEW YORK CITY FOSTER CHILDREN IN HIV/AIDS CLINICAL TRIALS Timothy Ross and Anne Lifflander with Sally Trued, Allon Yaroni, Rachel Wetts, Reena Ghadia, and Tania Farmiga Vera Institute of Justice January 2009 © 2009 Vera Institute of Justice. All rights reserved. Additional copies can be obtained from the communications department of the Vera Institute of Justice, 233 Broadway, 12th floor, New York, New York, 10279, (212) 334-1300. An electronic version of this report is available for download on Vera’s web site, www.vera.org. Requests for additional information about the research described in this report should be directed to [email protected]. Vera Institute of Justice ii Executive Summary At the request of New York City’s Administration for Children’s Services, beginning in 2005 the Vera Institute of Justice undertook an in-depth examination of issues related to the enrollment and monitoring of New York City foster children in clinical trials related to the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS). The request was prompted by allegations that African American and Latino children were inappropriately removed from their families and placed in foster care to facilitate their enrollment in dangerous and unnecessary medical experiments. Other concerns included whether children suffered unnecessarily as a result of their participation, whether children in trials were HIV infected, whether trial researchers properly obtained informed consent, and whether the child welfare system adequately monitored the children in their care. The Vera Institute agreed to conduct the review under a number of conditions. First, that Children’s Services search its files for children who might have participated in the trials and also provide Vera staff complete access to its files and records and the full cooperation of its staff.

While a wide gamut of City departments/agencies and community-based organizations contributed, it should be stated that not every existing organization has been included; it would be too voluminous.

For a quick reference, see At A Glance for a listing of the organizations with phone numbers and websites. Notes The Department of Planning & Development has strived to obtain accurate and current information.
