Core E: Social and Behavioral Sciences Core

社会和行为科学核心（E核心） 项目摘要 社会和行为科学（SBS）核心E的总体使命是促进发展， 开展与艾滋病毒/艾滋病的预防、治疗和护理有关的研究， 结合了社会和行为的观点，是创新的，理论驱动，方法论 严谨，跨学科，高影响力。核心强调在华盛顿的研究， 大都市地区或对该地区艾滋病毒/艾滋病流行的影响。具体核心目标包括：1） 维持一个强大的核心基础设施，提供有效的服务，以支持新的 理论上合理，方法上严格，创新的赠款申请和实施资助 研究; 2）确保社会和行为之间建立网络和建立合作的机会 科学家和他们之间的生物医学和临床研究人员; 3）监督教育，培训， 与社会和行为研究的理论、方法和设计相关的资源汇编;以及4） 促进开展社区参与的研究，这些研究以社区需求为指导并有益于社区需求， 地方、区域和国家各级。这些目标将通过提供一系列 服务，包括个人和同行小组协商;核心会议、联谊会和特别网络 活动（包括跨核心和与社区的活动）;开发和维护专家数据库 描述社会和行为科学的实质性，理论和方法论专业知识， CFAR，以及社区中代表的组织和个人专业知识;研讨会，讲习班， 社会和行为科学概念、理论、方法和方法学工作组 汇编与艾滋病毒/艾滋病有关的措施、文书和 根据SBS原则和社区参与研究的最佳做法制定干预措施。优先 核心小组的工作将给予早期调查人员、妇女和代表性不足的少数民族， 社会和行为科学家对艾滋病毒/艾滋病的新认识。核心还将特别注意协助 研究人员正在完成R 01资助的研究，以开发他们的下一个应用程序。它还将提供 旨在鼓励SBS科学家与临床和基础科学家合作的服务， 研究包括关注临床和生物学结果，并确定创新的方法， 临床和基础科学研究中的SBS观点。最后，核心将强调发展 与DC地区的社区合作伙伴建立了牢固的关系。

SOCIAL AND BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES CORE (CORE E) Project Summary The overall mission of the Social and Behavioral Sciences (SBS) Core E is to facilitate the development and implementation of research related to the prevention, treatment, and care of HIV/AIDS that is based on or incorporates social and behavioral perspectives and is innovative, theoretically driven, methodologically rigorous, interdisciplinary, and of high impact. The Core emphasizes research based in the Washington, DC metropolitan area or with implications for the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the area. Core specific aims include: 1) Maintain a strong Core infrastructure that provides effective services in support of the development of new theoretically sound, methodologically rigorous, innovative grant applications and the implementation of funded research; 2) Ensure opportunities for networking and building collaborations both among social and behavioral scientists and between them and biomedical and clinical researchers; 3) Oversee education, training, and compilation of resources related to theory, methods, and design of social and behavioral research; and 4) Facilitate the conduct of community-engaged research that is guided by and of benefit to community needs, at the local, regional and national level. These aims will be accomplished through the provision of a range of services, including individual and peer group consultations; Core meetings, mixers and special networking events (including across Core and with community); development and maintenance of an experts database describing substantive, theoretical and methodological expertise in the social and behavioral sciences at the CFAR, and organizational and individual expertise represented in the community; seminars, workshops, and working groups in concepts, theories, methods and methodologies in the social and behavioral sciences relevant to HIV/AIDS; and compilation of easily accessible resources related to measures, instruments, and intervention development based on SBS principles and best practices in community-engaged research. Priority in the work of the Core will be given to early stage investigators, women and underrepresented minorities, and social and behavioral scientists new to HIV/AIDS. The Core will also direct special attention to assisting investigators who are completing R01-funded research in developing their next applications. It also will provide services aimed at encouraging collaborations of SBS scientists with clinical and basic scientists to ensure SBS research includes attention to clinical and biological outcomes, and to identify innovative ways of incorporating SBS perspectives in clinical and basic science research. Finally, the Core will emphasize the development of strong relationships with community partners in the DC area.
