Bio-Behavioral and Community Engagement Core

项目摘要/摘要(生物行为和社区参与核心) 艾滋病毒在南部、整个佛罗里达州和迈阿密的流行令人严重关切。这种流行病是由以下因素助长的 相对较低的预防、治疗等生物医学和公共卫生资源。生物行为和 社区参与核心(核心E)将继续确定并寻求缓解结构性和系统性 长期影响我们区域艾滋病毒治疗和预防工作的障碍。这样做的总体目标是 核心是推进艾滋病毒治疗和预防、护理和结束艾滋病毒流行倡议 在佛罗里达州南部。我们建议通过促进开发、实施和评估来实现这一点 创新、跨学科的生物行为、社会科学和社区参与的研究和倡议 由社会生态模型框架启发式地指导；因此，认识到有必要实施 多层次艾滋病毒防治战略。Core E建立了强大的艾滋病毒相关社区 将继续扩大实施以证据为基础的艾滋病毒预防方法的合作 和护理，如迈阿密大学/杰克逊纪念医学中心(UM/JMMC)快速反应测试 迈阿密大学传染病研究和预防项目； 消除传染病法(思想交流)；严重注射相关感染(SIRI)小组； 和变性人兴趣小组。Core E建立了广泛的网络，以实现有效的社区外展和 在南佛罗里达地区的参与。Core E将继续提供科学领导和基础设施 这促进了行为、临床和基础研究的集成和转换，并扩大了社区 在南佛罗里达订婚。这些目标将通过以下具体目标实现：目标1.提供 必要的基础设施，使CFAR研究人员能够战略性地推进 生物行为调查和临床、行为、社会、 实施和基础科学家。目标2.促进积极和有意义的双向社区 通过促进与基于社区的组织(CBO)、当地组织的新的和持续的协作来参与 联邦合格的健康中心(FQHC)和佛罗里达州卫生部(FDOH)以确保他们的 参与和投入制定、执行、监测、分析、解释、完成和 行为科学和社会科学研究的翻译。目标3.促进招聘和保留学习 针对最需要行为方法的人群进行研究的参与者 艾滋病毒治疗和预防、护理和结束艾滋病毒流行倡议的持续。

Project Summary/Abstract (Bio-Behavioral and Community Engagement Core) The HIV epidemic in the South, in Florida in general, and Miami is of critical concern. This epidemic is fueled by relatively low prevention, treatment, and other biomedical and public health resources. The Bio-Behavioral and Community Engagement Core (Core E) will continue to identify and seek to alleviate structural and systemic barriers that have long impacted the HIV treatment and prevention continua in our region. The overall aim of this core is to advance the HIV treatment and prevention continua of care and the ending the HIV epidemic initiatives in South Florida. We propose to do this by fostering the development, implementation, and evaluation of innovative, inter-disciplinary bio-behavioral, social sciences and community-engaged research and initiatives that are heuristically guided by a Social Ecological Model Framework; thus, recognizing the need to implement multi-level HIV prevention and treatment strategies. Core E has established strong HIV-related community collaborations that will continue to expand the implementation of evidence-based approaches to HIV prevention and care such as the University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Medical Center (UM/JMMC) Rapid Response Test and Treat (TTRR); The University of Miami Research and Prevention of Infectious Diseases Program (RAPID); The Infectious Diseases Elimination Act (IDEA Exchange); the Severe injection-related infection (SIRI) Team; and the Transgender interest group. Core E has built extensive networks for effective community outreach and engagement in the South Florida region. Core E will continue to provide scientific leadership and an infrastructure that fosters integration and translation of behavioral, clinical, and basic research as well as expanding community engagement in South Florida. These goals will be achieved through the following specific Aims: Aim 1. Provide the necessary infrastructure to enable CFAR researchers to strategically advance the highest priority areas of bio-behavioral investigation and inter-disciplinary collaboration among clinical, behavioral, social, implementation and basic scientists. Aim 2. Promote active and meaningful bi-directional community engagement by facilitating new and ongoing collaborations with Community Based Organizations (CBOs), Local Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) and the Florida Department of Health (FDOH) to ensure their participation and input in the development, implementation, monitoring, analysis, interpretation, completion and translation of behavioral and social science research. Aim 3. Facilitate recruitment and retention of study participants for research addressing populations in the greatest need of behavioral approaches addressing the HIV treatment and prevention continua of care and ending the HIV epidemic initiatives.
