项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The San Francisco Department of Public Health (SFDPH) is a pioneer in HIV research, a leader of HIV behavioral research and interventions with the transgender (hereafter “trans”) community and has been a training ground for HIV scientists since the beginning of the epidemic. Trans people are a key population most severely affected by HIV, but they are under-served in the epidemic response. Intervention trials do not adequately include trans people, and when they are included it is often with other populations without the sample size to power analyses that can determine the benefit of breakthroughs in HIV prevention and care. HIV behavioral research often misses the mark in asking the questions and gathering the right data needed to determine reasons for elevated risk and identify appropriate modalities for intervention. To move the epidemic to zero new infections, zero AIDS deaths, and zero stigma, scientists with expertise in trans population health must play a significant scientific role in the response to HIV, especially those from underrepresented populations in the US biomedical, clinical, behavioral, and social sciences research enterprise. There is a paucity of HIV behavioral scientists with expertise in trans population health to do this work, and to our knowledge, there are no known mentoring programs to train scholars in HIV behavioral science and trans population health. Our team has decades of HIV research training experience and we are also experts in HIV behavioral research with trans communities, having run studies for almost 20 years and with 8 HIV behavioral studies with the trans community currently in the field. Building on our research and mentoring experiences, we propose “SHINE Strong” – a mentoring program committed to the long-term development of HIV behavioral scientists with expertise in trans population health. Our specific aims are to: (1) Develop an HIV behavioral research training program for undergraduates from underrepresented populations in the US biomedical, clinical, behavioral, and social sciences research enterprise interested in trans population health that will include intensive summer research, year-long mentored projects, and life-long career advocacy and social support; (2) Work collaboratively with scholars to develop career plans, pathways to independence, support systems, and capacities for culturally and medically relevant trans health research; and (3) Create and sustain a network of mentors from diverse backgrounds to support scholars’ careers in trans population health research. The 5-year grant will recruit 4 cohorts of 3 scholars each. The program entails: (a) an intensive summer of interdisciplinary training, development of a career plan, design of an HIV-related study, and networking with the local research community; (b) completion of a 1-year mentored research project; (c) an online learning platform with scheduled, asynchronous peer-to-peer exchanges; and (d) a final Research Forum presentation for the local trans and scientific communities and the next cohort of scholars.

项目摘要/摘要旧金山公共卫生部（SFDPH）是艾滋病毒研究的先驱，艾滋病毒行为研究的领导者以及对跨性别者（以下简称“跨性别”）社区的干预措施，自从流行病开始以来一直是艾滋病毒科学家的培训理由。跨性别者是受艾滋病毒影响最严重的关键人群，但在流行病中的服务不足。干预试验不能充分地包括跨性别者，而当他们包括在内时，通常与其他人群一起，而没有样本量来进行电力分析，从而可以确定艾滋病毒预防和护理中突破的益处。艾滋病毒行为研究通常会错过提出问题并收集确定风险升高并确定适当方式干预方式的正确数据的标记。为了将流行病转移到零新感染，零艾滋病死亡和零污名化，具有跨人群健康专业知识的科学家必须在对艾滋病毒的反应中起重要的科学作用，尤其是那些来自美国生物医学，临床，行为，行为和社会科学研究企业的人群不足的人。艾滋病毒行为科学家缺乏在跨人群健康方面具有专业知识来从事这项工作的专业知识，据我们所知，没有已知的指导计划来培训艾滋病毒行为科学和跨性别人群健康的学者。我们的团队拥有数十年的艾滋病毒研究培训经验，我们也是跨性别社区的艾滋病毒行为研究专家，经过了近20年的研究，并在目前在该领域的跨性别社区进行了8种HIV行为研究。在我们的研究和心理经验的基础上，我们提出了“强烈的闪耀”，这是一项精神计划，致力于在跨人群健康方面具有专业知识的艾滋病毒行为科学家的长期发展。我们的具体目的是：（1）为美国生物医学，临床，行为和社会科学研究企业的人口不足的本科生制定艾滋病毒行为研究培训计划，该计划对跨性别人群健康感兴趣，其中将包括跨性别人群的健康，其中包括全年的夏季研究，一年一年的改建项目以及终身统治的职业倡导和社会支持；（2）与学者合作，制定职业计划，独立途径，支持系统以及在文化和医学上相关的跨性别健康研究的能力；（3）创建和维持来自潜水员背景的导师网络，以支持学者在跨人群健康研究中的职业。 5年的赠款将招募4个队列的3个学者。该计划需要：（a）跨学科培训的密集夏季，制定职业计划，与HIV相关研究的设计以及与当地研究社区的网络；（b）完成为期1年的指导研究项目；（c）一个在线学习平台，具有计划的异步点对点交流；（d）针对当地跨性别和科学社区以及下一个学者的最终研究论坛演讲。
