The Training Program entitled, “Behavioral Sciences Research in HIV Infection,” associated with the HIV Center for Clinical and Behavioral Studies in the Columbia University Department of Psychiatry, provides innovative postdoctoral training in sexuality, gender, and mental health research applied to HIV. Despite significant biomedical advances in treatment and prevention, sexuality and gender disparities, and mental health problems continue to play central roles in the continued HIV epidemic. To contribute to ending the epidemic, scholars are needed who have a fundamental understanding of sexuality and gender as they shape sexual expression and social life and of mental health as it influences the adoption of preventive behaviors and adherence to medical care. The Program’s goal is to prepare scholars for independent research careers, in which they will be able to collaborate across disciplines to address the challenges posed by the evolving HIV epidemic. With its theoretical rigor, methodological innovation, and practical application, the Program addresses the complex psychological, social, and public health dilemmas posed by the epidemic and builds upon biomedical developments in HIV prevention and treatment. The Program employs three complementary and mutually reinforcing learning strategies: (1) Fellows engage in HIV research mentored by experienced senior investigators; (2) Fellows receive instruction in substantive issues, including the intersection of sexuality, gender, and mental health, and fundamentals of medicine, epidemiology, biostatistics, health promotion, and implementation science related to HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment, and care; and (3) Fellows receive training in critical academic and professional skills that will enable them to excel as competitive researchers with extramural grant support from NIH or other funders. In the next five years, we propose to maintain a cohort of seven Fellows, each with a three-year appointment and with new appointments made as Fellows graduate. Building on almost 30 years of success in training postdoctoral research Fellows, this Program has and will continue to evolve with systematic input from current and graduated Fellows, Program Faculty, and HIV Center’s Senior Advisers that leads to ongoing improvements. Proposed changes in this competing renewal include a Program-specific research grant writing course, the introduction of mentoring plans to complement the Individual Development Plans, and more intensive career coaching in the first year of training. As illustrated by the successful careers of many of our graduates, the Program has had a major impact on HIV/AIDS research and HIV/AIDS-related prevention, treatment and care. Our Program will continue to be enriched by the numerous educational resources and training opportunities offered throughout Columbia University, its medical center and school of public health, and New York City. Being engaged in both the New York State “Ending the Epidemic (ETE)” initiative and the NIH “Ending the HIV Epidemic: A Plan for America” initiative, the HIV Center, offers optimal opportunities for Fellows to be trained in opportune, state-of-the-art behavioral research that will help making the promise of ending the epidemic a reality.

与艾滋病毒中心相关的题为“艾滋病毒感染行为科学研究”的培训计划 哥伦比亚大学精神病学系的临床和行为研究提供了创新 适用于艾滋病毒的性、性别和心理健康研究的博士后培训。尽管显着 治疗和预防、性行为和性别差异以及心理健康问题方面的生物医学进展 继续在持续的艾滋病毒流行中发挥核心作用。为了为结束疫情做出贡献，学者们正在 需要对性和性别有基本了解的人，因为它们塑造了性表达和 社会生活和心理健康，因为它影响预防行为的采取和医疗的遵守 关心。该计划的目标是为学者的独立研究生涯做好准备，他们将能够 跨学科合作，应对不断变化的艾滋病毒流行所带来的挑战。以其理论 严谨、方法创新和实际应用，该计划解决了复杂的心理、 该流行病造成的社会和公共卫生困境，并建立在艾滋病毒生物医学发展的基础上 预防和治疗。该计划采用三种互补且相辅相成的学习方式 策略： (1) 研究员在经验丰富的高级研究人员的指导下从事艾滋病毒研究； (2) 研究员获得 实质性问题的指导，包括性、性别和心理健康的交叉点，以及 医学、流行病学、生物统计学、健康促进和相关实施科学的基础知识 艾滋病毒/艾滋病的预防、治疗和护理； (3) 研究员接受关键学术和专业方面的培训 使他们能够在 NIH 或其他机构的校外资助支持下成为有竞争力的研究人员 资助者。在接下来的五年中，我们建议维持一个由七名研究员组成的队伍，每名研究员的任期为三年 任命以及研究员毕业时作出的新任命。以近 30 年的成功为基础 培训博士后研究员，该计划已经并将继续在系统投入的帮助下发展 现任和已毕业的研究员、项目教员和艾滋病毒中心的高级顾问，导致持续的 改进。此次竞争更新中的拟议变更包括撰写特定于计划的研究补助金 当然，引入辅导计划来补充个人发展计划，并且更加深入 培训第一年的职业指导。正如我们许多毕业生成功的职业生涯所表明的那样， 该计划对艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究以及艾滋病毒/艾滋病相关预防、治疗和治疗产生了重大影响。 关心。我们的计划将继续通过众多的教育资源和培训机会来丰富 哥伦比亚大学及其医疗中心和公共卫生学院以及纽约市均提供该服务。存在 参与纽约州“结束流行病（ETE）”倡议和美国国立卫生研究院“结束艾滋病毒”倡议 流行病：美国计划”倡议，艾滋病毒中心，为研究员提供了接受培训的最佳机会 及时、最先进的行为研究将有助于使结束这一流行病的承诺成为现实。
