DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal will establish the operational and research infrastructure for a Comprehensive Center for the study of Health Disparities in the area of HIVIAIDS. It is unique and important because for the first time the three accredited Medical Schools in PR (UPR School of Medicine, UCC School of Medicine, and Ponce School of Medicine) will collaborate as partners in a common pursuit. Some of the specific aims of the center are: (1) the enhancing of clinical and translational research through collaboration among these three schools, (2) to establish this tradition or "culture of collaboration" for the future, (3) to develop sustainable, replicable and culturally appropriate prevention and/or intervention research programs targeted to the Puerto Rican population to decrease the burden of disease, (4) to develop and validate a series of culturally appropriate instruments to measure diverse variables such as but not limited to: sociodemographic, HIV risk behaviors, co-morbidities, adherence, stigma, history of violence and abuse; and to make them available to interested investigators and health care providers, (6) to establish a Mentorship program for junior investigators with resources from both local and abroad (PR and US institutions) and to create the stimulating academic environment that will encourage students and fellows to pursue a career in health disparities research and in particular, HIV/AIDS research and (7) to enhance the opportunities for multidisciplinary research collaborations between the island institutions and those with a more established research programs in the US mainland. During a Phase I the operational infrastructure of the center will be established and one pilot project per institution will be supported. During the Phase II, these pilot projects will become research projects and new young investigators will join the Center through pilot projects. A strong Core component of faculty development will assure the growth and productivity of the center's investigators. Other Core activities will be a Data Center, a Lab, a CRC, a publications office with the assistance of a writer/editor, and the recruitment of 3 health disparities investigators.

描述（由申请人提供）： 该提案将建立一个用于研究HIVIAID领域健康差异的综合中心的运营和研究基础设施。这是独特而重要的，因为PR（UCC医学院，UCC医学院和Ponce医学院）的三所认可的医学院将首次作为合作伙伴进行共同追求。该中心的一些具体目的是：（1）通过这三所学校之间的协作增强临床和转化研究，（2）为未来建立这种传统或“协作文化”，（3）开发可持续，可复制和文化适当的预防和/或适当的预防和/或适当的预防和/或干预研究计划，以降低Puerto Rican的群体，以衡量Puerto Ricantival的群体（4），以衡量疾病的群体（4），以衡量疾病的群体（4），4）诸如但不限于：社会人口统计学，艾滋病毒风险行为，合并症，依从性，污名，暴力和虐待史； （6）为有兴趣的调查人员和医疗保健提供者提供它们，以为初级调查人员建立指导计划，并拥有来自本地和国外（PR和美国机构）的资源，并创建刺激的学术环境，以鼓励学生和研究员从事健康偏见研究，尤其是艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究的机会，以增强艾滋病/艾滋病研究的机会（7）在美国大陆。在第一阶段，将建立该中心的运营基础设施，并将支持每个机构的一个试点项目。在第二阶段，这些试点项目将成为研究项目，新的年轻调查人员将通过试点项目加入中心。教师发展的强大核心组成部分将确保该中心研究人员的增长和生产力。其他核心活动将是数据 中心，实验室，CRC，在作家/编辑的协助下出版办公室以及3名健康差异调查人员的招聘。
