Behavioral Core

社会与行为科学核心的总体目标是激励、建议和提供基础研究 支持在D-CFAR的三个项目中使用社会和行为科学的理论和方法 参与机构。在三个参与机构的多重优势的基础上，核心 活动旨在促进调查人员之间的合作，并促进有效利用 资源，同时产生尖端的艾滋病研究。BSSC将承担5个目标和一个协调的 整合为核心部门提供的8项服务的一系列活动：1)促进协作 研究机会，2)在选择、使用和解释社会与行为方面的咨询 科学理论和方法，3)青年调查人员的指导，4)创建和维护 关键的艾滋病毒社会和行为科学文献的在线资源库，理论结构， 和措施，5)社会科学和行为科学理论和方法技能建设讲习班，6) 赞助一个社会与行为科学讲座和一个系列研讨会，赞助一个 年度社区传播研究论坛，以及8)研究伦理和IRB协议援助。 在申请资金的5年结束之前，我们希望：1)发展积极、多学科 代表社会、行为、临床和基础科学家之间伙伴关系的研究团队 参与机构，2)在核心内建立了一个积极的服务，以协助D-CFAR调查人员 利用社会和行为科学的理论和方法来加强他们的研究和提供资金 应用；3)指导和增加有前途的初级学者和其他具有 有可能解决艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究的重要问题，以及4)协助转让 D-CFAR的发现对社区、卫生和服务提供者以及其他人进行了研究 它们所针对的利益相关者。预计需要维持DCFAR的行为研究能力 调查人员此应用程序的资助期结束后，Core的一个基本目标是 发展成为完整的CFAR所需的科学合作和基本基础设施。

The overall goal of the Social and Behavioral Science Core is to stimulate, advise, and provide basic research support in the use of social and behavioral sciences theory and methods across the D-CFAR's three participating institutions. Building on the multiple strengths of the three participating institutions, core activities are designed to promote collaboration between investigators and to facilitate efficient use of resources while producing cutting-edge AIDS research. The BSSC will undertake 5 aims and a coordinated set of activities that coalesce into 8 services to be offered by the Core: 1) the Facilitation of Collaborative Research Opportunities, 2) Consultation in the Selection, Use, and Interpretation of Social and Behavioral Sciences Theory and Methods, 3) Mentoring of Young Investigators, 4) Creation and Maintenance of an online Resource Repository of Key HIV Social and Behavioral Science Literature, Theoretical Constructs, and Measures, 5) Skill-building Workshops in Social and Behavioral Sciences Theory and Methods, 6) Sponsorship of a Social and Behavioral Sciences Lecture and also a Seminar Series, 7) Sponsorship of an Annual Community Dissemination Research Forum, and 8) Research Ethics and IRB Protocol Assistance. Before the end of the 5 years of requested funding, we expect to have: 1) developed active, multi-disciplinary research teams representing partnerships between social, behavioral, clinical, and basic scientists at all three participating institutions, 2) established an active service within the Core for assisting D-CFAR investigators in using social and behavioral science theory and methods to enhance their research and inform funding applications; 3) mentored and added to the research training of promising junior scholars and others with the potential to address important issues central to research on HIV/AIDS, and 4) assisted in the transfer of findings from D-CFAR conducted studies to the community, health and service providers, and other stakeholders for whom they are meant. Anticipating the need to sustain behavioral research capabilities for DCFAR investigators once this application's funding period has ended, an underlying goal of the Core is to develop the scientific collaborations and basic infrastructure needed to become a full CFAR.
