INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH METHODS (IRM) CORE The IRM Core will ensure that CIRA science meets the highest methodological standards, and encourage innovative combinations and applications of methods from multiple disciplines. The Core will be organized in four teams to reflect the general areas of Core expertise and the methodological needs of CIRA scientists: Quantitative Methods and Biostatistics, Qualitative Methods and Ethnography, Cost Effectiveness and Mathematical Modeling and Biological Measures and Analysis. Each team will be led by a Co-Director, and will have staff to provide hands-on assistance with methods and analysis. Together, Core members have expertise in the design of basic social and behavioral research, structural intervention research, research combining biomedical and social-behavioral methods, research combining qualitative and quantitative methods, and research combining multiple levels of analysis. Through consultations required prior to submission of grant proposals and after successful grant award, as well as investigator initiated consultations at any point in the research process, the Core will advise CIRA scientists on these study designs as well as on issues in measurement and reliability, biostatistics, structural equation modeling, multi-level modeling, sampling, laboratory techniques, qualitative data coding, methods of qualitative data collection, methods of collecting cost data, and measuring and analyzing program costs. The Core also will provide assistance with a range of data analytic methods, expand and maintain a Measurement Resource File, provide centralized data backup and storage, create and maintain an HIV Database Archive, and develop multiple opportunities for methodological training. In addition the Core will encourage and contribute to methodological research.

跨学科研究方法 (IRM) 核心 IRM 核心将确保 CIRA 科学满足最高的方法标准，并鼓励 多学科方法的创新组合和应用。核心将组织在 四个团队反映 CIRA 科学家的核心专业知识的一般领域和方法学需求： 定量方法和生物统计学、定性方法和民族志、成本效益和 数学建模和生物学测量与分析。每个团队将由一名联合总监领导，并且 将有工作人员提供方法和分析方面的实际帮助。核心成员共同拥有 基础社会和行为研究、结构干预研究、研究设计的专业知识 结合生物医学和社会行为方法，定性和定量相结合的研究 方法和结合多个层次分析的研究。 通过在提交赠款提案之前和成功授予赠款之后所需的协商， 以及研究者在研究过程中的任何时候发起咨询，核心将向 CIRA 提供建议 科学家们研究这些研究设计以及测量和可靠性、生物统计学、结构 方程建模、多级建模、抽样、实验室技术、定性数据编码、方法 定性数据收集、收集成本数据的方法以及衡量和分析项目成本的方法。 核心还将提供一系列数据分析方法的帮助，扩展和维护 测量资源文件，提供集中数据备份和存储，创建和维护HIV 数据库存档，并开发多种方法培训机会。此外，核心还将 鼓励并促进方法论研究。
