HIV Center for Clinical and Behavioral Studies

艾滋病毒中心的三个拟议研究中心将提供资源，使调查人员能够 该中心的总体目标是推进结束艾滋病毒/艾滋病流行的科学，方法是推动 严谨的行为、社会科学和生物医学研究的前沿，并将研究成果转化为公平的 和可持续的公共卫生政策和实践。开发核心将通过以下方式补充这项工作 科学创新、内部监测、能力建设和联网的协调机制。这个 CORE有四个具体目标：(1)促进创新科学的产生，可能实现最大限度的公众 对健康的影响；(2)确保艾滋病毒中心研究的严密性、质量和影响；(3)建设研究能力 早期研究人员(ESIS)为独立研究事业做准备；以及(4)培养 在新出现的道德和政策问题方面的专门知识，以加强公平的公共卫生政策和实践。 核心将通过一系列职能实现其目标，包括1)支持和监测 跨学科的先导性研究，使新的和现有的调查人员都能获得校外资金 进行突破性的艾滋病毒/艾滋病预防和治疗研究；2)监测 跨学科预防和治疗艾滋病毒的流行病和科学进步，确保及时暴露 通过协调整个中心和 核心间活动(如研讨会、讲习班)；3)所有阶段的内部监测和支助 研究从赠款提案的制定到资助项目的实施(例如，通过交叉核心 会议)；4)提供机制，分享研究执行过程中的“经验教训”，并给予审查 提高中心研究质量；5)确定早期研究人员的研究能力需求 (ESIS)，并为ESIS提供访问中心研究、能力建设和指导资源的机会(例如 手稿和赠款编写讲习班)；以及6)确保中心研究中的伦理和政策观点 通过个人和跨核心磋商，就新出现的主题进行跨学科圆桌会议讨论 例如对未成年人使用PrEP，以及一个国际可访问的在线课程“艾滋病毒/艾滋病伦理和 政策。“总部设在纽约州精神病研究所和哥伦比亚大学精神病学系 大学，核心主任，Theodorus Sandfort博士，是一位在性方面有专长的社会心理学家 以及艾滋病毒研究和艾滋病毒中心T32博士后培训项目的主任。基于 哥伦比亚大学梅尔曼公共卫生学院(CU MSPH)核心联合主任帕特里克·威尔逊博士 在男男性接触者、种族/少数民族人群中进行艾滋病毒治疗和预防方面的专门知识和国立卫生研究院的资助， 以及青少年和年轻人，并与CU MSPH的学生广泛合作。他们中间还有一位 由拥有多学科研究和指导记录的知名调查人员组成的多学科团队， 作为一项创新，包括生物医学研究、伦理和政策分析方面的专家。

The HIV Center's three proposed Research Cores will provide resources that enable investigators to meet the Center's overall goal of advancing the science of Ending the HIV/AIDS Epidemic (EtE) by pushing the frontiers of rigorous behavioral, social science, and biomedical research and translating findings into equitable and sustainable public health policy and practice. The Development Core will complement this work with coordinated mechanisms for science innovation, internal monitoring, capacity-building, and networking. The Core has four Specific Aims: (1) to facilitate generation of innovative science likely to achieve maximum public health impact; (2) to ensure rigor, quality, and impact of HIV Center research; (3) to build research capacity of Early Stage Investigators (ESIs) as they prepare for independent research careers; and (4) to cultivate expertise in emerging ethical and policy issues that enhances equitable public health policy and practice. The Core will accomplish its Aims through a range of functions, including 1) support and monitoring of inter-disciplinary pilot studies that position both new and established investigators to obtain extra-mural funding to conduct groundbreaking HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment research; 2) monitoring of developments in the epidemic and scientific advances in HIV prevention and treatment across disciplines, ensuring timely exposure of investigators to these developments and research opportunities through coordination of Center-wide and inter-Core activities (e.g. Seminars, Workshops); 3) internal monitoring and support during all phases of studies from grant proposal development through implementation of funded projects (e.g., via Cross Core meetings); 4) providing mechanisms for sharing” lessons learned” in study implementation and grant reviews to advance the quality of Center research; 5) identifying research capacity needs of Early Stage Investigators (ESIs) and providing ESIs with access to Center research, capacity-building, and mentoring resources (e.g. manuscript and grant writing workshops); and 6) ensuring ethical and policy perspectives in Center research through individual and Cross-core consultations, interdisciplinary roundtable discussions on emerging topics such as use of PrEP with minors, and an internationally accessible online course on “HIV/AIDS Ethics and Policy.” Based in the Department of Psychiatry at New York State Psychiatric Institute and Columbia University, the Core Director, Theodorus Sandfort, Ph.D., is a social psychologist with expertise in sexuality and HIV research and the Director of the HIV Center's T32 postdoctoral training program. Based at the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health (CU MSPH) Core Co-Director, Patrick Wilson, Ph.D., has expertise and NIH funding in HIV treatment and prevention among MSM, racial/ethnic minority populations, and adolescents and young adults and works extensively with students at CU MSPH. They are joined by a multidisciplinary team of established investigators with multidisciplinary research and mentoring records, including – as an innovation – experts in biomedical research ethics and policy analysis.
