DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Dr. Sonja Mackenzie, DrPH, MSc is an HIV prevention researcher and Adjunct Assistant Professor at the Health Equity Institute at San Francisco State University. Dr. Mackenzie's long-term career goal is to develop a program of research to promote health among sexual and racial/ethnic minority men and women in the United States. The K01 Mentored Research Scientist Development Award will provide the necessary training and mentored research experience for Dr. Mackenzie to successfully become an independent HIV prevention researcher with expertise in mixed methods research and intervention development addressing the cultural and relationship contexts of HIV risk. Dr. Mackenzie's current research findings with bisexually active Black men have indicated the importance of the cultural and relationship contexts of HIV risk and transmission with female partners, and have therefore led her to pursue a dyadic approach. The proposed mixed methods research project constitutes one of the first dyadic investigations of the cultural and relationship context of HIV risk among bisexually active Black men and the female partners of these men. There is an urgent need for effective, culturally appropriate interventions for this community, as bisexually active Black men are highly marginalized. The plan for training and mentorship builds on Dr. Mackenzie's thirteen years of research experience and skills, and will allow her to be uniquely positioned to fill this gap in HIV prevention research and intervention knowledge. In meeting her training goals, Dr. Mackenzie will be able to apply her research expertise with this target population to obtain R01 funding to develop an HIV prevention intervention addressing the specific cultural and relationship contexts of HIV risk among bisexually active Black men.

描述(由申请人提供)：Sonja Mackenzie博士，博士，理学硕士，艾滋病毒预防研究员，旧金山州立大学卫生公平研究所兼职助理教授。麦肯齐博士的长期职业目标是开发一个研究项目，以促进美国性别和种族/少数民族男性和女性的健康。K01指导研究科学家发展奖将为Mackenzie博士提供必要的培训和指导研究经验，使其成功成为一名独立的艾滋病毒预防研究员，拥有混合方法研究和干预开发方面的专业知识，解决艾滋病毒风险的文化和关系背景。麦肯齐博士目前对双性恋活跃的黑人男性的研究结果表明，艾滋病毒风险和与女性伴侣之间的传播的文化和关系背景非常重要，因此她采取了一种二元方法。拟议的混合方法研究项目是对双性恋活跃的黑人男子及其女性伴侣中艾滋病毒风险的文化和关系背景进行的首批二元调查之一。由于双性恋活跃的黑人男子被高度边缘化，迫切需要对这个社区进行有效的、文化上适当的干预。培训和指导计划建立在麦肯齐博士13年的研究经验和技能的基础上，并将使她在填补艾滋病毒预防研究和干预知识方面的这一空白方面处于独特的地位。为了实现她的培训目标，麦肯齐博士将能够运用她对这一目标人群的研究专长，获得R01资金，以开发艾滋病毒预防干预措施，解决双性恋活跃的黑人男性中艾滋病毒风险的特定文化和关系背景。
