The purpose of this K24 renewal is to continue to exponentially enhance Dr. Carla Kmett Danielson's mentorship and research program in innovative approaches to risk reduction of HIV acquisition and addiction among adolescents, with a particular focus on trauma-exposed populations. Over the prior K24 funding period, Dr. Danielson, a clinical psychologist and scientist, demonstrated she is the ideal candidate for this mechanism. The impact of her protected time for expanded research and mentorship are evident through numerous achievements from over this funding period, including productive mentorship of 23 mentees (>50% from underrepresented backgrounds), awards in recognition of this mentorship, a new line of research in mHealth HIV and addiction prevention intervention, and continuous federal-funding of her innovative patient oriented research (POR) in which she has involved her mentees. Her mentees, who have included early-career faculty, post-doctoral fellows, and predoctoral psychology interns, are making significant contributions to the HIV prevention, substance abuse, and traumatic stress fields through high-impact publications and new lines of NIH-funded research. The proposed K24 award renewal will be essential for providing the time and resources necessary for the candidate to expand her research skills in virtual reality technologies for young people at high risk for HIV acquisition and addiction, sustain her mentoring program and capacity, and further stimulate the research program of her mentees (e.g., through a trainee pilot award program that was successful during the prior funding period). Innovative research proposed by Dr. Danielson under the K24 renewal involves refinement and evaluation of a virtual reality clinical tool to improve trauma-informed assessment and prevention of substance use and sexual risk behavior with at-risk young people. This will be accomplished through input and training from leading experts in the virtual reality-high risk behavior research field; an internationally known technology firm in virtual reality tool development (Virtually Better, Inc.); qualitative research; an Advisory Board of consumers and experts; and evaluation of the validity, acceptability, and feasibility of the refined virtual reality tool with high risk populations (e.g., adolescents in treatment for substance use problems and traumatic stress; young adults presenting to a high-risk HIV clinic) and health care providers. Dr. Danielson's proposed mentorship activities, current federally- funded research projects, and aims to pursue innovative, virtual reality research in the areas of HIV prevention, substance use risk reduction, and trauma among adolescents harmonize well with NIDA priorities that call for research designed to evaluate the application of new technologies for delivering adapted prevention interventions targeting substance use and prevention of HIV acquisition. The proposed research affords rich training opportunities for her mentees (with an emphasis on trainees from groups under-represented in clinical science) and will invigorate new directions in POR with young people at risk for HIV acquisition and addiction.

此次 K24 更新的目的是继续以指数方式加强 Carla Kmett Danielson 博士的指导 减少艾滋病毒感染和成瘾风险的创新方法研究计划 青少年，特别关注遭受创伤的人群。在之前的 K24 资助期间，Dr. 丹尼尔森是一位临床心理学家和科学家，她证明自己是这种机制的理想人选。这 她的受保护时间对扩大研究和指导的影响通过众多成就显而易见 在此资助期间，包括对 23 名学员的富有成效的指导（> 50% 来自代表性不足的学员） 背景），为表彰这一指导而颁发的奖项，移动医疗艾滋病毒和成瘾领域的新研究线 预防干预，并持续为她的创新患者导向研究（POR）提供联邦资助 她让她的学员参与其中。她的学员包括早期职业教师、博士后研究员、 和博士前心理学实习生，正在为艾滋病毒预防、药物滥用、 通过高影响力的出版物和 NIH 资助的新研究领域来研究创伤性应激场。这 拟议的 K24 奖项续签对于为候选人提供必要的时间和资源至关重要 扩大她在虚拟现实技术方面的研究技能，为感染艾滋病毒的高风险年轻人提供帮助 成瘾，维持她的指导计划和能力，并进一步刺激她的研究计划 受训者（例如，通过在上一个资助期间取得成功的实习生试点奖励计划）。 Danielson 博士在 K24 更新中提出的创新研究涉及对 虚拟现实临床工具，可改善创伤知情评估以及物质使用和性行为的预防 与高危年轻人的危险行为。这将通过领先专家的投入和培训来完成 虚拟现实-高危行为研究领域；国际知名虚拟现实技术公司 工具开发（Virtual Better, Inc.）；定性研究；由消费者和专家组成的咨询委员会；和 评估改进的虚拟现实工具在高危人群中的有效性、可接受性和可行性 （例如，正在接受药物滥用问题和创伤性压力治疗的青少年；接受治疗的年轻人 高风险艾滋病毒诊所）和医疗保健提供者。丹尼尔森博士提议的指导活动，目前联邦- 资助研究项目，旨在在艾滋病毒预防领域进行创新的虚拟现实研究， 减少药物使用风险和青少年创伤与 NIDA 的优先事项非常一致，这些优先事项要求 旨在评估新技术在提供适应性预防方面的应用的研究 针对药物使用和预防艾滋病毒感染的干预措施。拟议的研究提供了丰富的 为她的受训者提供培训机会（重点是来自临床代表性不足群体的受训者） 科学），并将为面临艾滋病毒感染和成瘾风险的年轻人提供 POR 的新方向。
