 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Alcohol use contributes to morbidity and mortality associated with HIV by (a) reducing antiretroviral therapy adherence, (b) worsening virologic outcomes and immune functioning, (c) exacerbating liver dysfunction, and (d) exacerbating neurocognitive deficits associated with HIV. In addition, alcohol use among both HIV-infected and uninfected individuals is implicated in high-risk sexual behavior that leads to HIV transmission. The Brown University Alcohol Research Center on HIV (ARCH) was funded by NIAAA in 2010 to conduct integrated interdisciplinary research on alcohol and HIV that can inform clinical approaches to caring for people living with HIV and efforts to prevent HIV transmission, as well as to serve as a regional and national resource for collaborative research on alcohol and HIV interactions. Through collaborations with the Lifespan/Tufts/Brown Center for AIDS Research and local hospitals, Fenway Health, UMass-Boston, Columbia University, University of Florida, and UCSD, we have been conducting state-of-the-art research on the combined effects of alcohol and HIV on brain structure and function and on the effects of behavioral alcohol intervention on alcohol use, sexual risk behavior, virologic outcomes, liver function, and neurocognitive function in HIV-infected men who have sex with men. The addition of two Resource Cores (U24AA022000; U24AA022003) to the ARCH have further broadened this collaborative research with a particular emphasis on two strengths at Brown, sexual minority health and mechanisms of behavior change; these cooperative agreements with NIAAA involve collaborations with Yale University, Harvard, University of Pittsburgh, University of Alabama-Birmingham, and Johns Hopkins University. This renewal application seeks to build on the progress made through the Brown ARCH expanding the scope of our research around our tightly integrated core themes. The ARCH is comprised of an Administrative Core (which also handles postdoctoral training and pilots), three Research Components, and Virology and Biostatistics Cores. Research activities address overlapping hypotheses regarding key variables (alcohol use, virology, hepatic function, neurocognitive function, and high-risk sexual behavior) and interrelationships among these variables using diverse methods including neuroimaging, biomarker analysis, behavioral interventions, technology-assisted interventions, and human laboratory-based behavioral research. These activities provide an integrated body of innovative alcohol-HIV research that can yield far greater total public health impact than any or all of them could if conducted independently. Further, the ARCH serves as a nexus for integration of alcohol-HIV science across proposed components, pilot projects, and complementary studies within Brown including investigators from all four departments in the Brown University School of Public Health and four additional departments in the Medical School. Finally, the ARCH serves as a bridge between the deep pool of investigators at Brown focusing on alcohol and HIV and investigators at the other NIAAA-funded Consortiums for HIV/AIDS and Alcohol-Related Outcomes Research.

 描述（由申请方提供）：酒精使用通过（a）降低抗逆转录病毒治疗依从性，（B）恶化病毒学结局和免疫功能，（c）加重肝功能障碍，（d）加重与HIV相关的神经认知缺陷，导致与HIV相关的发病率和死亡率。此外，艾滋病毒感染者和未感染者中的饮酒与导致艾滋病毒传播的高风险性行为有关。2010年，布朗大学酒精研究中心（Brown University Alcohol Research Center on HIV）由NIAAA资助，对酒精和艾滋病毒进行综合性跨学科研究，可以为护理艾滋病毒感染者的临床方法和预防艾滋病毒传播的努力提供信息，并作为酒精和艾滋病毒相互作用合作研究的区域和国家资源。通过与Lifespan/Tufts/Brown艾滋病研究中心和当地医院、芬威健康中心、马萨诸塞大学波士顿分校、哥伦比亚大学、佛罗里达大学和加州大学圣地亚哥分校的合作，我们一直在进行最先进的研究，研究酒精和艾滋病毒对大脑结构和功能的综合影响，以及行为酒精干预对酒精使用、性风险行为、病毒学结果、肝功能、和神经认知功能。两个资源核心（U24 AA 022000; U24 AA 022003）的增加，进一步扩大了这种合作研究，特别强调布朗的两个优势，性少数群体的健康和行为改变的机制;这些与NIAAA的合作协议涉及与耶鲁大学，哈佛，匹兹堡大学，伯明翰大学和约翰霍普金斯大学的合作。这一更新申请旨在通过布朗大学扩大我们的研究范围，围绕我们紧密结合的核心主题所取得的进展的基础上。该中心由一个行政核心（也处理博士后培训和试点），三个研究部分，以及病毒学和生物统计学核心组成。研究活动解决了关于关键变量（酒精使用，病毒学，肝功能，神经认知功能和高风险性行为）的重叠假设以及使用不同方法（包括神经成像，生物标志物分析，行为干预，技术辅助干预和基于人类实验室的行为研究）的这些变量之间的相互关系。这些活动提供了一个创新的酒精-艾滋病毒研究的综合机构，可以产生比任何或所有这些活动如果独立进行更大的总体公共卫生影响。此外，该研究中心还作为一个纽带，将酒精-艾滋病毒科学整合到布朗大学的拟议组成部分、试点项目和补充研究中，包括布朗大学公共卫生学院所有四个系和医学院另外四个系的研究人员。最后，该研究中心是布朗大学专注于酒精和艾滋病毒的研究人员与其他NIAAA资助的艾滋病毒/艾滋病和酒精相关结果研究财团的研究人员之间的桥梁。
