DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): To respond to the HIV epidemic and reduce health disparities in HIV incidence and outcomes, we propose a Prevention Research Center (PRC) at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) that facilitates significant and innovative health science research through partnerships with public health colleagues that ultimately improves public health. The HIV epidemic continues to be a major public health crisis in the U.S., with more than 1 million people living with HIV and more than 50,000 becoming newly infected every year1. Given the progress in preventing and treating HIV, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has identified HIV as a winnable battle, Healthy People 2020 has included HIV as a topic area, sexual health is part of the National Prevention Strategy, and the White House has made HIV a policy priority with the release of the National HIV/AIDS Strategy. HIV has had a disproportionate impact on African Americans, representing one of the largest health disparities in the U.S. While comprising just 13% of the total national population, African Americans account for 51% of all new HIV/AIDS diagnoses. While HIV disproportionately impacts African Americans, Black gay and other men who have sex with men (BMSM) are particularly impacted. In particular young BMSM (aged 13 - 24 years) are the only subpopulation where the rate of new infections continues to increase. These national data highlight the urgent need to focus research on eliminating HIV health disparities among African Americans in general and BMSM in particular. This application proposes to develop and implement authentic community engagement and support implementation of a research project that focuses on linking, engaging and reengaging in care young BMSM living with HIV. Our overall aims are to: 1. Establish a Prevention Research Center that focuses on appropriate adaptation, dissemination and implementation of HIV health disparities research for application to policy, programs and practices; 2. Enhance collaborations with partners in the community, health care systems, government agencies, institutions and universities to facilitate innovative, high-impact, multidisciplinary HIV research and knowledge translation to training, programs, practices and policies; 3. Increase the capacity of partners in the community, health care systems, government agencies, institutions and universities to understand and implement the findings from HIV research through targeted training, communication and dissemination; and 4. Develop an implementation research portfolio that translates and adapts an evidence-based intervention into practice settings. We propose to begin this portfolio by studying the implementation of an evaluated intervention to improve linkage of HIV-infected young Black MSM to clinical care.

描述（由申请人提供）：为了应对艾滋病毒的流行并减少艾滋病毒发病率和结果的健康差异，我们建议在加利福尼亚大学旧金山分校（UCSF）的预防研究中心（PRC）（UCSF）通过与公共卫生合作社的合作伙伴关系，促进重要，创新的健康科学研究。在美国，艾滋病毒的流行仍然是一场重大的公共卫生危机，每年有超过100万人感染了艾滋病毒，超过50,000人被新近感染。鉴于预防和治疗艾滋病毒的进展，疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）已将艾滋病毒确定为一场可笑的战斗，健康人2020包括艾滋病毒作为主题领域，性健康是国家预防策略的一部分，白宫将艾滋病毒作为国民艾滋病毒/艾滋病策略的释放使艾滋病毒成为优先权。艾滋病毒对非裔美国人的影响不成比例，这是美国最大的健康差异之一，同时仅占全国人口总人口的13％，占所有新艾滋病毒/艾滋病诊断的51％。尽管艾滋病毒不成比例地影响非洲裔美国人，但黑人同性恋和其他与男性发生性关系的男性受到了特别影响。特别是年轻的BMSM（13-24岁）是唯一新感染率继续增加的亚群。这些国家数据凸显了迫切需要将研究集中在消除一般非裔美国人，尤其是BMSM之间的艾滋病毒健康差异上。该申请建议开发和实施真正的社区参与，并支持一个研究项目的实施，该项目着重于联系，参与和重新连接艾滋病毒的年轻BMSM。我们的总体目的是：1。建立一个预防研究中心，侧重于适当适应，传播和实施HIV健康差异研究，以应用于政策，计划和实践； 2。加强与社区，卫生保健系统，政府机构，机构和大学的合作伙伴的合作，以促进创新，高影响力，多学科的HIV研究和知识转化为培训，计划，实践和政策； 3。通过有针对性的培训，沟通和传播，提高社区，卫生保健系统，政府机构，机构和大学的能力，以了解和实施HIV研究的结果；和4。开发一种实施研究组合，将基于证据的干预转化为练习环境。我们建议通过研究进行评估的干预措施的实施来开始这种投资组合，以改善HIV感染的年轻黑人MSM与临床护理的联系。
