DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Collaborative HIV Prevention Research in Minority Communities (CRMC) program, an NIMH and NICHD funded training program, has the dual purpose of 1) increasing the amount of innovative and scientifically excellent HIV prevention research being conducted in minority communities, and 2) increasing the number of funded investigators from underrepresented minority groups. Since 1997 the program has mentored a diverse group of 37 scientists who have been awarded $23 million in extramural research funding to date. In addition to the productivity of individual participants, the program has created a network of scientists conducting innovative HIV prevention research in minority communities. This network has led to the development and successful funding of several collaborative grants involving program participants and faculty. This application proposes a 2-day conference to bring together program participants, prospective participants, faculty and representatives of funding agencies. The conference will provide a structured environment to disseminate innovative research, promote the development of mentoring and collaborative research relationships, and to explore the current state of science and community practice regarding HIV prevention in disproportionately impacted minority communities. The Specific Aims of this R13 conference grant are: 1)To plan and convene a conference for past and present program participants, past and present program faculty and representative of federal, state and private sector agencies who are funding and setting policy regarding minority-focused HIV prevention research; 2) To evaluate the impact of the conference in promoting networking, collaborative research and mentoring relationships and in affecting funding and policy decisions among conference attendees; 3) To create a list of recommendations regarding research and funding priorities for HIV prevention in communities of color, and; 4)To disseminate the conference presentations and the conference-generated recommendations regarding research and funding priorities for HIV prevention in communities of color to a variety of stakeholders including researchers, community service providers and public and private agencies involved in funding and policy decisions regarding HIV prevention research. Minority communities are disproportionately impacted by HIV and AIDS. At the same time, minority researchers are underrepresented among those receiving federal funding for research in this critical area. The Collaborative HIV Prevention in Minority Communities (CRMC) program has been funded since 1997 to 1) increase the amount of innovative and scientifically excellent HIV prevention with minority communities and 2) to increase the number of funded investigators from underrepresented minority groups. To date we have trained 37 scientists who have gone on to conduct research in this area and to create a productive national network. This conference will bring together former and current program participants and faculty and representatives of funding agencies. This historic conference will produce a list of recommendations for future research and funding that will be widely distributed to academics, community practitioners, funders and policy makers.

描述（由申请人提供）：在少数民族社区（CRMC）合作艾滋病毒预防研究计划，NIMH和NICHD资助的培训计划，有双重目的1）增加创新和科学优秀的艾滋病毒预防研究的数量正在少数民族社区进行，和2）增加资助的调查人数从代表性不足的少数群体。自1997年以来，该计划已经指导了一个由37名科学家组成的多元化小组，迄今为止，他们已经获得了2300万美元的校外研究资金。除了个人参与者的生产力外，该计划还建立了一个科学家网络，在少数民族社区进行创新的艾滋病毒预防研究。这个网络导致了几个合作赠款涉及计划参与者和教师的发展和成功的资金。本申请提出了一个为期2天的会议，汇集计划参与者，潜在的参与者，教师和资助机构的代表。会议将提供一个结构化的环境，以传播创新研究，促进指导和合作研究关系的发展，并探讨在受影响不成比例的少数民族社区预防艾滋病毒的科学和社区实践的现状。该R13会议补助金的具体目的是：1）计划和召开一次会议，为过去和现在的计划参与者，过去和现在的计划教师和联邦，州和私营部门机构的代表谁是资金和制定政策，对少数民族为重点的艾滋病毒预防研究; 2）评估会议在促进联网方面的影响，合作研究和指导关系，并影响与会者的资金和政策决定; 3）建立一个关于有色人种社区艾滋病毒预防研究和资金优先事项的建议清单; 4）传播会议发言和会议-就有色人种社区艾滋病毒预防的研究和资金优先事项向包括研究人员在内的各种利益攸关方提出建议，社区服务提供者和参与艾滋病毒预防研究供资和决策的公共和私营机构。少数族裔社区受到艾滋病毒和艾滋病的影响尤为严重。与此同时，在这一关键领域接受联邦资助的研究人员中，少数民族研究人员的比例偏低。自1997年以来，少数民族社区艾滋病毒预防合作（CRMC）计划一直得到资助，以1）增加少数民族社区创新和科学优秀的艾滋病毒预防的数量，2）增加来自代表性不足的少数民族群体的受资助调查人员的数量。迄今为止，我们已经培训了37名科学家，他们继续在这一领域进行研究，并建立了一个富有成效的国家网络。本次会议将汇集以前和现在的计划参与者和教师和资助机构的代表。这次历史性的会议将为未来的研究和资助提出一系列建议，这些建议将广泛分发给学术界、社区从业人员、资助者和政策制定者。
