PROJECT SUMMARY This application supports the launch of the innovative HIV Nexus Scholars Program at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) under NIAID PAR-20-289. This program will leverage a rich infrastructure of training, research, and expertise to address cross-cutting, high-priority areas in the 2019/2020 Office of AIDS Research (OAR) Strategic Plan and NIAID mission, including the integration of state-of-the-art biomedical, social/behavioral, and clinical science; health inequities research; and training and diversifying the research workforce to conduct high-priority HIV research. Our program will provide three years of education, research experiences, and mentoring to early-stage investigators (ESIs) from outside institutions who have not yet attained R01-level funding, but who demonstrate a commitment to improving the health of U.S. marginalized communities (e.g., racial, ethnic, sexual, and gender minorities) disproportionately affected by HIV, and are initiating innovative research at the intersection of biomedical, social/behavioral, and clinical science. Scientists from or closely connected to the most impacted communities are often best positioned to lead research that addresses the specific needs of the affected populations, consistent with the objectives of the 2019/2020 Office of AIDS Research Strategic Plan and the critical need to foster diverse scholars in the HIV research pipeline. The centerpiece of the Nexus Scholars Program is an intensive six-week annual training institute in which Scholars are in residence at UCSF for three consecutive summers, where they meet frequently with mentors, connect with other researchers, participate in skills-development short courses/seminars, develop and implement applied research experience plans, and conceptualize and write NIH funding applications. Such training will provide a foundation for the next generation of HIV researchers who are prepared to continue and outpace the recent momentum to end the HIV epidemic, particularly in communities disproportionately affected.

项目摘要 该申请支持在大学的创新HIV Nexus Scholars计划的启动 加利福尼亚州，旧金山（UCSF），Niaid Par-20-289。该计划将利用丰富的基础设施 培训，研究和专业知识，以解决2019/2020艾滋病办公室的跨切割，高优先级领域 研究（OAR）战略计划和NIAID任务，包括整合最先进的生物医学 社会/行为和临床科学；健康不平等研究；培训和多样化研究 劳动力进行高优先型艾滋病毒研究。我们的计划将提供三年的教育，研究 经验，并向尚未的外部机构的早期调查员（ESI）进行指导 获得了R01级资金，但他们表现出致力于改善美国边缘化的健康的承诺 社区（例如种族，种族，性和性别少数群体）受艾滋病毒的影响不成比例，是 在生物医学，社会/行为和临床科学的交集上启动创新研究。科学家 从或与受影响最大的社区的联系或紧密相关的人通常是领导研究 满足受影响人群的特定需求，与2019/2020办事处的目标一致 艾滋病研究战略计划以及培养艾滋病毒研究管道中多种学者的迫切需求。 Nexus学者计划的核心计划是一个密集的六周年度培训学院 学者连续三个夏季居住在加州大学洛杉矶圣地（UCSF），他们经常与导师会面 与其他研究人员建立联系，参加技能发展短课程/研讨会，发展和发展 实施应用研究经验计划，并概念化和编写NIH资助应用程序。这样的 培训将为准备继续和的下一代艾滋病毒研究人员提供基础 超过最近结束艾滋病毒流行的动力，特别是在社区中不成比例 做作的。
