NC Collaborative HIV Epidemiology and Prevention (NC-CHEP) SWG

项目总结/摘要- NC-CHEP SWG 尽管有强大的预防和治疗方案，但美国的艾滋病发病率仍然居高不下。 每年39，000例。艾滋病毒这种持续的地方性传播的原因是复杂和相互关联的， 这使得它成为一个具有挑战性的学术领域，其成功取决于团队科学， 跨学科方法。正是这种动态的研究环境， 工作组（SWG）的目的是，非洲防治艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究中心将促进支持结束艾滋病毒/艾滋病的研究。 通过其北卡罗来纳州（NC）艾滋病毒流行病学和预防合作（CHEP）SWG开展流行病工作。 该团队建立在CNOCFAR联盟合作伙伴和NC之间的长期合作关系基础上 卫生和人类服务部（DHHS），在以下交叉点应用流行病学数据： 生物医学和社会科学。 NC-CHEP SWG将汇集跨学科的专家和新的艾滋病毒研究人员，以分享想法 和方法，目的是培养一个有利于“跳出框框”思考的学术环境。 在承认艾滋病毒的社会、生态和临床现实相互关联的概念框架下， 国家委员会-社区环境保护方案工作组的目标是：（1）开发和完善资源， 探讨艾滋病毒预防和护理的连续性;（2）赞助和支持活动， 关于基础，社会，实施和预防科学的校外专业知识，以分享观点和发展 研究思路;（3）识别，招聘，并指导新的和早期的职业艾滋病毒研究人员，强调 社会科学、基础科学和医学在艾滋病领域的独特交叉点。 为了实现这些目标，NC-CHEP工作组将：（1）更新和管理工作组成员目录， （2）与NC DHHS人员会面，了解可用数据、任何间隔变更以及如何 继续与NC DHHS数据科学家和流行病学家成功合作，以共享数据;（3）与 临床核心，以扩大艾滋病毒未感染者的数量，在艾滋病毒的风险个人代表在艾滋病毒预防和治疗中心 临床队列数据库;（4）发起和指导工作，以确定 在COVID-19大流行的背景下;（5）提供一致的，定期安排的节目， 虚拟选项，以帮助会员了解艾滋病治疗和生物医学方面的“科学现状” 预防;（6）通过面对面交流，促进基于团队科学方法的高质量研究思路 和数字（异步）同行评议;（7）与主要教师在dafabet和我们的合作伙伴在历史上黑色的工作 学院和大学，以促进艾滋病毒科学作为一个职业道路;（8）增加SWG的影响力 成员通过与该州艾滋病教育和培训中心合作传播他们的研究， 举办网络研讨会、工作进展会谈和虚拟研讨会。

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT – NC-CHEP SWG Despite a robust toolkit of prevention and treatment options, HIV incidence in the US stubbornly remains around 39,000 cases per year. The reasons for this sustained, endemic spread of HIV are complex and interconnected, making it an inherently challenging area of scholarship whose success depends on team science, interdisciplinary approaches. It is precisely this kind of dynamic research environment that CFAR Scientific Working Groups (SWGs) are designed for, and the UNC CFAR will promote research supporting Ending the HIV Epidemic efforts through its North Carolina (NC) Collaborative HIV Epidemiology and Prevention (CHEP) SWG. This team builds upon the long-standing partnership between UNC CFAR consortium partners and the NC Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), applying epidemiological data at the intersection of biomedical and social sciences. The NC-CHEP SWG will bring together experts across disciplines and investigators new to HIV to share ideas and approaches, with the goal of fostering an academic environment conducive to thinking “outside the box.” Under a conceptual framework acknowledging the interconnected social, ecological, and clinical realities of HIV prevention and care, the NC-CHEP SWG aims to: (1) develop and refine resources for characterizing and exploring the HIV prevention and care continuum; (2) sponsor and support activities to bring together intra- and extramural expertise on basic, social, implementation, and prevention science to share perspectives and develop research ideas; and (3) identify, recruit, and mentor new and early career HIV investigators, highlighting the unique intersections among social science, basic science, and medicine within the HIV field. To achieve these aims, the NC-CHEP SWG will: (1) update and curate a SWG membership directory and place it online; (2) meet with NC DHHS personnel to understand available data, any interval changes, and how to continue successfully working with NC DHHS data scientists and epidemiologists for data sharing; (3) work with the Clinical Core to expand the number of HIV-uninfected, at-risk individuals represented in the UNC CFAR HIV Clinical Cohort database; (4) initiate and direct work to characterize the prevention and care continuum in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic; (5) offer consistent, regularly scheduled programming with physical and virtual options to help members stay abreast of the “state of the science” in treatment and biomedical HIV prevention; (6) promote high-quality research ideas based on team science approaches through face-to-face and digital (asynchronous) peer review; (7) work with key faculty at UNC and our partners at historically Black colleges and universities to promote HIV science as a career path; and (8) increase the reach of the SWG members for disseminating their research by partnering with the state’s AIDS Education and Training Center to host webinars, work-in-progress talks, and virtual symposia.
