DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this application for a K01 Mentored Research Scientist Development Award is to provide the candidate with mentoring that will promote her development as an independent researcher with particular emphasis on the relationship between intimate partner violence (IPV) and HIV risk. The scope of work for the proposed Award includes both training and research components. The training component will provide the applicant with mentoring and educational experiences designed to enhance (1) her knowledge of theory and research in HIV as well as IPV; (2) her skills in the effectual use of mixed methodology including quantitative, longitudinal, epidemiological, and qualitative methods; (3) her ability to adapt and test existing empirically validated prevention interventions in the area of HIV; (4) her ability to establish and conduct community- based intervention trials; and (5) her understanding of research ethics. The proposed research components are linked directly to the candidate's training goals and will provide opportunities for her to receive mentored training while engaged in multiple activities of the research project. Thus, the specific aims of the proposed research are: (1) to conduct formative research to adapt an HIV risk reduction intervention with low-income women who have experienced IPV and are at-risk for HIV; (2) to adapt and pilot test a theoretically and empirically guided preventive intervention, including an intervention manual and supporting materials, to better serve low-income women who experience IPV in their relationships; (3) to assess the feasibility and acceptability of the adapted prevention intervention by implementing it with a sample of low-income women who are at risk for HIV and experience IPV; and (4) to gather preliminary evidence of the efficacy of the theoretically guided intervention using a controlled design. This K01 support will also generate conference presentations, journal articles, and an R01 grant application to continue the research. Through these training and research activities, the candidate will acquire the knowledge and skills needed to succeed as an independent research scientist, and help to address the growing HIV epidemic among women in the United States (U.S.) and throughout the world. This research could have a significant public health impact by improving health outcomes for women who experience IPV.

描述(由申请人提供)：本次申请K01指导研究科学家发展奖的目的是为候选人提供指导，以促进她作为一名独立研究人员的发展，特别强调亲密伴侣暴力(IPV)与艾滋病毒风险之间的关系。拟议奖项的工作范围包括培训和研究部分。培训部分将为申请者提供指导和教育经验，旨在加强(1)她对艾滋病毒和IPV的理论和研究的知识；(2)她有效使用混合方法(包括定量、纵向、流行病学和定性方法)的技能；(3)她适应和测试艾滋病毒领域现有经验证的预防干预措施的能力；(4)她建立和进行基于社区的干预试验的能力；(5)她对研究伦理的理解。拟议的研究部分与候选人的培训目标直接相关，并将使她有机会在参与研究项目的多项活动时接受指导培训。因此，拟议研究的具体目标是：(1)进行形成性研究，以适应经历过艾滋病毒感染和艾滋病毒感染风险的低收入妇女的艾滋病毒风险降低干预措施；(2)调整和试点理论和经验指导的预防干预措施，包括干预手册和辅助材料，以更好地为经历艾滋病毒感染的低收入妇女在其关系中服务；(3)通过对有艾滋病毒感染风险和经历过艾滋病毒感染的低收入妇女样本实施，评估调整后的预防干预措施的可行性和可接受性；以及(4)使用对照设计收集理论指导的干预效果的初步证据。这项K01支持还将生成会议演示文稿、期刊文章和R01拨款申请，以继续研究。通过这些培训和研究活动，候选人将获得作为一名独立研究科学家取得成功所需的知识和技能，并帮助解决美国妇女中日益增长的艾滋病毒流行问题。以及整个世界。这项研究可能会通过改善经历过IPV的妇女的健康结果而对公共卫生产生重大影响。
