Project Summary/Abstract Science is failing minorities in the US by 1) not facilitating adequate pipelines for the professional development of minority scientists and 2) not focusing adequate research on the disparities affecting minority populations. This proposed institutional training grant (T32) targets this gap by providing robust research training on HIV and mental health disparities that impact racial/ethnic minorities and establishing a pipeline to support underrepresented Black and Latinx trainee scientists. Preparing trainees with the scientific tools to become experts in the complex interplay of socio-structural and individual mental health variables perpetuating disparities in HIV outcomes is crucial to ending the HIV epidemic. HIV continues to disproportionally impact Black and Latinx communities in the US; and Miami remains the epicenter of HIV with most new HIV diagnoses annually. Miami’s racial/ethnic, cultural, and sexual/gender diversity, its HIV-related health and mental health disparities, and the training infrastructure and faculty expertise at the University of Miami (UM), make Miami an ideal location for this HIV mental health research training program. The proposed T32 is closely tied to the aims of the UM Center for HIV and Research in Mental Health (CHARM, an NIMH-funded Developmental AIDS Research Center; D-ARC). It will train two underrepresented pre-doctoral students in psychology and public health sciences and up to 4 post-doctoral fellows across disciplines over 5 years in two linked areas: 1) culturally informed interventions for racial/ethnic, sexual, and gender minority populations and 2) innovative bio-behavioral interventions including scale up, linkage, and dissemination/implementation programs for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and treatment as prevention (TasP) in populations who need it most. Training will emphasize 1) innovative state-of the science statistical and design methods, 2) community engagement through participatory research, and 3) professional development, mentorship, and network building congruent with the needs of racial/ethnic trainees focused on minority populations - all to ensure long-term success of program graduates. These focal areas are closely aligned with NIH/DAIDS goals, CHARM expertise, UM public health and psychology faculty, and UM’s roadmap for racial justice. Innovations include a focus on immersive community engagement and community- based participatory research projects, integrated with coursework and training in key behavioral science topics such as socio-structural, bio-behavioral and epidemiological foundations of HIV/mental health research. Weekly seminars will provide professional development in rigor and reproducibility, innovative methods, community-engaged research and immersion in the HIV and mental health fields, building professional networks, capitalizing on UM’s faculty mentoring expertise, and providing linkages with the CHARM Community Advisory Board. T32 fellows will graduate with the expertise and capacity to achieve their professional goals and skills to conduct research to reduce HIV disparities in Black and Latinx communities.

项目摘要/摘要 科学在美国失败了1）不支持专业人士的足够管道 少数族裔科学家的发展和2）不专注于影响少数群体的差异 人群。这项提议的机构培训补助金（T32）通过提供强大的研究来针对这一差距 培训艾滋病毒和心理健康差异，影响种族/族裔少数民族并建立一条管道 支持代表性不足的黑人和拉丁人学员科学家。为学员准备科学工具 成为社会结构和个人心理健康变量的复杂相互作用的专家 HIV结局的差异对于结束HIV流行至关重要。艾滋病毒继续影响不成比例 美国的黑人和拉丁社区；迈阿密仍然是大多数新艾滋病毒的艾滋病毒的中心 每年诊断。迈阿密的种族/种族，文化和性/性别多样性，与HIV相关的健康和 心理健康分布以及迈阿密大学（UM）的培训基础设施和教职专业知识， 使迈阿密成为此HIV心理健康研究培训计划的理想场所。 提出的T32与UM艾滋病毒和心理健康研究中心的目标紧密相关 （Charm，NIMH资助的发展艾滋病研究中心； D-arc）。它将训练两个人为不足的人 心理学和公共卫生科学专业的学生以及多达4个博士后研究员 在两个链接领域的5年以上的学科：1）种族/种族，性和性别的文化知情干预措施 性别少数人群和2）创新的生物行为干预措施，包括扩大规模，联系和 暴露前预防（PREP）和治疗作为预防的传播/实施计划 （TASP）最需要它的人群。培训将强调1）创新的科学统计数据 和设计方法，2）通过参与研究的社区参与，3）专业 与种族/民族学员的需求一致的开发，精通和网络建设 少数群体 - 所有人都确保计划毕业生的长期成功。这些焦点区域紧密 与NIH/DAIDS目标，魅力专业知识，UM公共卫生和心理学教师以及UM的目标保持一致 种族正义的路线图。创新包括关注身临其境的社区参与和社区 - 基于参与研究项目，与关键行为科学主题的课程和培训集成 例如艾滋病毒/心理健康研究的社会结构，生物行为和流行病学基础。 每周的半手将提供严格和可重复性，创新方法的专业发展， 社区参与的研究和沉浸在艾滋病毒和心理健康领域，建立专业人士 网络，利用UM的教师心理专业知识，并提供与魅力的联系 社区顾问委员会。 T32研究员将毕业以实现其专业知识和能力 专业目标和技能，以减少黑人和拉丁裔社区的艾滋病毒差异。
