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.

项目总结/摘要 科学正在失败的少数民族在美国1）没有促进足够的管道的专业 少数群体科学家的发展; 2）没有充分研究影响少数群体的差异 人口。这项拟议的机构培训补助金（T32）通过提供强有力的研究来解决这一差距 就影响种族/族裔少数群体的艾滋病毒和心理健康差异问题开展培训， 支持代表性不足的黑人和拉丁裔实习科学家。培训学员掌握科学工具， 成为社会结构和个人心理健康变量之间复杂相互作用的专家， 消除艾滋病毒成果方面的差距对于结束艾滋病毒流行至关重要。艾滋病毒继续对健康产生影响 美国的黑人和拉丁裔社区;迈阿密仍然是艾滋病毒的中心，大多数新的艾滋病毒 每年的诊断迈阿密的种族/民族，文化和性/性别多样性，其艾滋病毒相关的健康和 心理健康差距，以及迈阿密大学（UM）的培训基础设施和教师专业知识， 使迈阿密成为艾滋病心理健康研究培训项目的理想地点。 拟议的T32与UM艾滋病毒和心理健康研究中心的目标密切相关 （CHARM，NIMH资助的艾滋病发展研究中心; D-ARC）。它将培养两个代表性不足的 心理学和公共卫生科学的博士前学生和最多4名博士后研究员 在两个相互关联的领域进行5年以上的培训：1）对种族/民族、性和性别问题进行文化上知情的干预， 性别少数群体和2）创新的生物行为干预措施，包括规模扩大，联系， 传播/实施暴露前预防和治疗预防方案 （TasP）在最需要的人群中。培训将强调1）统计科学的创新状态 设计方法，2）通过参与性研究进行社区参与，3）专业 发展，指导，和网络建设符合种族/民族学员的需要，重点是 少数民族人口-所有这些都是为了确保计划毕业生的长期成功。这些重点领域密切 与NIH/DAIDS目标，CHARM专业知识，UM公共卫生和心理学系以及UM的 种族公正路线图创新包括专注于沉浸式社区参与和社区- 基于参与式研究项目，结合课程和关键行为科学主题的培训 例如艾滋病毒/精神健康研究的社会结构、生物行为和流行病学基础。 每周的研讨会将提供专业发展的严谨性和可重复性，创新的方法， 社区参与的研究和沉浸在艾滋病毒和心理健康领域，建设专业 网络，利用UM的教师指导专业知识，并提供与CHARM的联系 社区咨询委员会。T32研究员毕业时将具备实现其 专业目标和技能进行研究，以减少艾滋病毒在黑人和拉丁裔社区的差距。
