公共卫生和政策（PHP）核心的总体目标是促进和增加创新 研究艾滋病毒/艾滋病，以遏制艾滋病毒/艾滋病在该地区和周边地区的流行。本核心旨在 鼓励相关、适用、公共卫生、实施和实验研究，重点是 多学科项目。核心小组将汇集具有不同专业领域的调查人员， 促进研究人员、社区和决策者之间科学交流， 促进学科之间以及科学家和社区之间的合作。此外，这将需要一个 在推进研究中发挥领导作用，为参与研究的教师提供方法论专业知识， 在D-CFAR的机构，特别注意鼓励和指导初级 研究人员和那些新的艾滋病毒研究领域。具体目标1：支持发展和 实现高质量的多学科研究项目，为研究人员提供专业知识 开展研究，促进跨学科研究合作。具体目标2：作出贡献 培训和指导新调查员，重点是初级和少数族裔调查员， 和/或将其工作扩展到弱势群体，包括少数民族/种族、移民群体， 低收入（贫困）家庭和性少数群体。具体目标3：促进科学与 通过战略性地传播关于正在进行的研究和成果的信息， 社区，讨论研究在社区一级的潜在影响，并作为一个渠道， 地方、国家和国际决策者。

The overarching goal ofthe Public Health and Policy (PHP) Core is to promote and increase innovative research on HIV/AIDS to stem the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the district and surrounding areas. This Core seeks to encourage relevant, applicable, public health, implementation and experimental research, with emphasis on multidisciplinary projects. The Core will bring together investigators with different areas of expertise and interest to promote scientific communication among researchers, community and policy makers as well as to facilitate collaboration among the disciplines, and between scientists and community. Moreover, it will take a leadership role in advancing research by providing methodological expertise to faculty at participating institutions in the D-CFAR, with particular attention given to the task of encouraging and mentoring junior investigators and those new to the field of HIV research. Specific Aim 1: To support the development and realization of high-quality multidisciplinary research projects by providing expertise to investigators on the conduct of research and by facilitating cross-disciplinary research collaboration. Specific aim 2: To contribute to the training and mentoring of new investigators, with emphasis on junior and minority investigators, to build and/or extend their work to disadvantaged communities, including ethnic/racial minorities, immigrant groups, low-income (poor) families, and sexual minorities. Specific aim 3: To contribute to the bridging ofthe scienceto- practice gap by strategically disseminating information on ongoing research and outcomes to the community, discussing the potential impact of the research at the community level and serving as a conduit to local, national and international policy makers..
