有色人种受艾滋病毒/艾滋病的影响不成比例，但非洲裔美国人却缺乏艾滋病研究人员。复杂的历史、结构、社会文化和个人障碍会阻碍非裔美国人成为训练有素的生物医学、行为和社会艾滋病研究人员。影响从事艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究的非裔美国人数量的体制因素包括早期职业决策的限制和缺乏接触研究、研究社会化和指导。影响提交联邦资助的研究提案的两个个人层面因素是，对符合文化的艾滋病毒研究的支持有限，以及非洲裔美国人对自己的能力和对社会作出贡献的能力的负面看法。我们讨论了消除非裔美国人艾滋病研究人员在个人、学术机构和社会政治层面上所经历的差异的进展。[J] .公共卫生杂志，2009;99:S48-S53。doi: 10.2105 / AJPH.2007.131094)
People of color are disproportionately affected by HIV/AIDS, yet African American HIV/AIDS researchers are in short supply. Complex historical, structural, sociocultural, and personal barriers can prevent African Americans from becoming well-trained biomedical, behavioral, and social HIV/AIDS researchers.Institutional factors that influence the numbers of African Americans conducting HIV/AIDS research include the limitation of early-career decisions and a lack of exposure to research, research socialization, and mentoring. Two individual-level factors that influence the submission of federally funded research proposals are the limited availability of support for culturally congruent HIV research and African Americans' negative perceptions of their own competence and ability to contribute to society.We discuss progress toward eliminating disparities experienced by African American HIV/AIDS researchers at the individual, academic institution, and sociopolitical levels.
