PROJECT SUMMARY To advance HIV-related basic research, optimize the development and implementation of efficacious and effective HIV preventive interventions and strategies, support the integration of research disciplines (e.g., basic science, policy, implementation), and facilitate the use of emerging technologies to halt the spread of HIV, we need to use optimal theories and scientific methods. However, HIV research presents a challenge in determining which, from a continually growing list of research methods and data collection and intervention delivery technologies, best suit the needs of particular research questions and projects. Moreover, existing methodologies may be insufficient to address a specific research need. Additional challenges include increasingly rigorous and complex standards for data sharing and reporting results. The Methods Core ensures that CAPS investigators are equipped to meet these challenges. Investigators require timely and specialized input to learn, select, and implement best practices in developing research questions, in designing studies and measurement instruments, and in data acquisition, management, and analysis. To meet these needs, the Methods Core will promote the use of optimal methods through carrying out our specific aims: 1) Supporting, training and consulting on innovative research designs and methods; 2) Promoting development and use of new and emerging methods in HIV prevention research, and 3) Enhancing the use of cutting-edge technologies in HIV prevention research. The Methods Core collaborates with and supports CAPS scientists through all steps of the research process, from idea generation and theory testing through applying research methods in intervention development and implementation to the dissemination of final results. Reflecting the Center's long-term goals in the proposed funding period, the Core will continue its strong record of support for CAPS scientists in a broad variety of new and existing research methods while expanding its focus on new methods development and technologies. Via these activities the Methods Core will contribute crucially to the research needed to end the HIV epidemic.

项目摘要 推进艾滋病毒相关的基础研究，优化有效和 有效的艾滋病毒预防干预措施和战略，支持研究学科的整合（例如，基本 科学、政策、实施），并促进使用新兴技术来阻止艾滋病毒的传播，我们 需要运用优化理论和科学方法。然而，艾滋病毒研究提出了一个挑战， 从不断增长的研究方法、数据收集和干预清单中， 交付技术，最适合特定的研究问题和项目的需要。此外，现有 方法可能不足以满足特定的研究需求。其他挑战包括 越来越严格和复杂的数据共享和结果报告标准。核心方法确保 CAPS调查人员有能力应对这些挑战。调查人员需要及时和专业的 输入学习，选择和实施最佳实践，在开发研究问题，设计研究， 测量仪器，以及数据采集，管理和分析。为了满足这些需求， 方法核心将通过实现我们的具体目标来促进最佳方法的使用：1）支持， 关于创新研究设计和方法的培训和咨询; 2）促进开发和使用 艾滋病毒预防研究中的新方法和新兴方法，以及3）加强使用尖端的 艾滋病预防研究的技术。方法核心与CAPS科学家合作并提供支持 贯穿于研究过程的各个阶段，从思想的产生、理论的检验到应用研究 从制定和实施干预措施的方法到最终结果的传播。反映 在中心提出的长期目标资助期内，核心将继续其强有力的支持记录， CAPS的科学家在广泛的各种新的和现有的研究方法，同时扩大其重点放在新的 方法开发和技术。通过这些活动，“方法核心”将对以下方面作出重要贡献： 研究需要结束艾滋病毒的流行。
