Reinvigorating HIV Prevention and Care for People Who Use Drugs: Accelerating Progress and Sustaining Gains in the Midst of Societal Disruption

项目摘要/摘要-试点项目和指导核心 指导和培训下一代艾滋病毒和物质使用研究人员是实现我们的目标的关键。 我们致力于消除艾滋病毒，我们通过创新的、基于证据的教学方法来解决这个问题。 该中心同样致力于通过增加思想，经验和 通过从代表性不足的背景中征聘调查员来采取这种办法。试点 和指导核心（PPM）将支持新的和早期阶段的研究者（新的/ESI）和其他CDUHR 调查人员，以满足新出现的和历史性的挑战，以结束艾滋病毒流行的人谁使用 毒品（PWUD），并开展个人奖励，高影响力的研究，在物质使用和艾滋病毒。目标 的PPM核心将通过个性化的方法来实现，该方法以每个参与者的 优势、培训和已确定的需求，此外还要考虑其指导团队的需求。为此目的， PPM核心是建立在其已确立的以证据为基础的培训和指导支柱之上的，这些支柱包括 (1)教学培训，（2）试点项目，（3）跨学科团队指导，（4）个人发展计划， 以及（5）为导师提供结构化支持和多元化、公平、包容和归属感（DEIB）培训。在 CDUHR-6，核心包括三个额外的创新支柱，最近出现的关键， 一个全面的、有证据的、有效的指导计划：（1）有意义的社区参与 原则，（2）培训，重点是最大限度地提高研究的影响和（3）综合位置知情 指导的方法。这八个支柱中的每一个都解决了具体的差距，以使下一代 研究人员为预防艾滋病毒感染，发病率和死亡率做出重要贡献， PWUD，符合NIH的优先事项和中心的整体科学和基础设施目标。我们 致力于支持我们的调查人员解决复杂的问题，如CDUHR-6所示 主题为“重振艾滋病预防和护理工作， 在社会混乱中”PPM核心将利用杰出的经验，知识， 中心内代表的资源，使我们的科学家能够加强他们的研究技能和发展 与社区成员和同事进行强有力和富有成效的合作，以追求个人回报 研究的职业生涯。

Project Summary/Abstract – Pilot Projects and Mentoring Core Mentoring and training the next generation of HIV and substance use researchers is key to fulfilling our commitment to ending HIV, and we address this through innovative, evidence-based pedagogical approaches. The Center is equally committed to advancing science by increasing the diversity of ideas, experiences and approaches through the recruitment of investigators from underrepresented backgrounds. The Pilot Projects and Mentoring Core (PPM) will support new and early stage investigators (new/ESI) and other CDUHR investigators to meet emerging and historic challenges to ending the HIV epidemic among people who use drugs (PWUD) and carry out personally-rewarding, high-impact research in substance use and HIV. The aims of the PPM Core will be achieved through an individualized approach that centers upon each participant's strengths, training, and identified needs, in addition to considering those of their mentoring team. To this end, the PPM Core builds upon its well-established pillars of evidence-based training and mentoring which include (1) didactic trainings, (2) pilot projects, (3) interdisciplinary team mentoring, (4) individual development plans, and (5) structured support and diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging (DEIB) training for mentors. In CDUHR-6, the Core incorporates three additional innovative pillars that have recently emerged as critical to a comprehensive, evidence-informed, and effective mentoring program: (1) meaningful community engagement principles, (2) training that focuses on maximizing research impact and (3) integrated positionality-informed approaches to mentoring. Each of these eight pillars addresses specific gaps to equip the next generation of investigators to make important contributions toward preventing HIV infection, morbidity, and mortality among PWUD, in alignment with NIH priorities and the overall scientific and infrastructure aims of the Center. We are committed to supporting our investigators to address complex problems, as represented in the CDUHR-6 theme of “Reinvigorating HIV Prevention and Care for PWUD: Accelerating progress and sustaining gains in the midst of societal disruption.” The PPM Core will leverage the outstanding experience, knowledge, and resources represented within the Center to enable our scientists to strengthen their research skills and develop strong and fruitful collaborations with community members and colleagues to pursue a personally rewarding career in research.
