Core E: Social and Behavioral Sciences Core

社会和行为科学核心(核心E) 项目摘要 社会科学和行为科学(SBS)核心E的总体使命是促进发展和 实施与艾滋病毒/艾滋病的预防、治疗和护理有关的研究 融合了社会和行为的观点，在方法上是创新的、理论驱动的 严谨、跨学科、影响大。核心强调以华盛顿特区为基础的研究 都会区或对该地区的艾滋病毒/艾滋病流行有影响。核心具体目标包括：1) 维护强大的核心基础设施，提供有效的服务来支持新产品的开发 理论上健全、方法严谨、创新的赠款申请和资金的执行 研究；2)确保在社会和行为领域建立网络和建立协作的机会 科学家以及他们与生物医学和临床研究人员之间的合作；3)监督教育、培训和 汇编与社会和行为研究的理论、方法和设计相关的资源；以及4) 促进进行以社区需求为导向并有益于社区需求的社区参与研究，请访问 在地方、区域和国家各级。这些目标将通过提供一系列 服务，包括个人和同级小组协商；核心会议、交流会和特殊网络 活动(包括核心活动和社区活动)；开发和维护专家数据库 说明在社会和行为科学方面的实质性、理论和方法论专门知识 CFAR以及社区中代表的组织和个人的专门知识；研讨会、讲习班和 社会科学和行为科学概念、理论、方法和方法论工作组 与艾滋病毒/艾滋病有关；汇编易于获取的与措施、文书和 根据社区参与研究中的SBS原则和最佳做法制定干预措施。优先性 在核心的工作中，将给予早期调查人员、妇女和代表性不足的少数群体，以及 新接触艾滋病毒/艾滋病的社会和行为科学家。核心小组还将特别注意协助 正在完成R01资助的研究以开发他们的下一个应用程序的研究人员。它还将提供 旨在鼓励SBS科学家与临床和基础科学家合作以确保SBS的服务 研究包括对临床和生物学结果的关注，并确定将 临床和基础科学研究中的SBS观点。最后，核心将强调发展 与华盛顿地区的社区合作伙伴建立牢固的关系。

SOCIAL AND BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES CORE (CORE E) Project Summary The overall mission of the Social and Behavioral Sciences (SBS) Core E is to facilitate the development and implementation of research related to the prevention, treatment, and care of HIV/AIDS that is based on or incorporates social and behavioral perspectives and is innovative, theoretically driven, methodologically rigorous, interdisciplinary, and of high impact. The Core emphasizes research based in the Washington, DC metropolitan area or with implications for the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the area. Core specific aims include: 1) Maintain a strong Core infrastructure that provides effective services in support of the development of new theoretically sound, methodologically rigorous, innovative grant applications and the implementation of funded research; 2) Ensure opportunities for networking and building collaborations both among social and behavioral scientists and between them and biomedical and clinical researchers; 3) Oversee education, training, and compilation of resources related to theory, methods, and design of social and behavioral research; and 4) Facilitate the conduct of community-engaged research that is guided by and of benefit to community needs, at the local, regional and national level. These aims will be accomplished through the provision of a range of services, including individual and peer group consultations; Core meetings, mixers and special networking events (including across Core and with community); development and maintenance of an experts database describing substantive, theoretical and methodological expertise in the social and behavioral sciences at the CFAR, and organizational and individual expertise represented in the community; seminars, workshops, and working groups in concepts, theories, methods and methodologies in the social and behavioral sciences relevant to HIV/AIDS; and compilation of easily accessible resources related to measures, instruments, and intervention development based on SBS principles and best practices in community-engaged research. Priority in the work of the Core will be given to early stage investigators, women and underrepresented minorities, and social and behavioral scientists new to HIV/AIDS. The Core will also direct special attention to assisting investigators who are completing R01-funded research in developing their next applications. It also will provide services aimed at encouraging collaborations of SBS scientists with clinical and basic scientists to ensure SBS research includes attention to clinical and biological outcomes, and to identify innovative ways of incorporating SBS perspectives in clinical and basic science research. Finally, the Core will emphasize the development of strong relationships with community partners in the DC area.
