HIV Center for Clinical and Behavior Studies

描述（由申请人提供）：艾滋病毒临床和行为研究中心致力于对艾滋病毒的预防和传播以及改善艾滋病毒感染者的生活进行多学科研究，重点是性风险行为和性别在有效干预中的关键作用。我们提出了六个核心：（1）行政核心，提供领导，以激励和管理创新研究，确保最高的科学标准，道德操守和有效的财政运作;（2）跨学科研究方法核心，为艾滋病毒相关性研究提供咨询和监督（包括理论概念化、定性和定量测量、和干预发展）和艾滋病毒预防科学的理论和方法问题分析论坛;（3）统计。流行病学和数据管理核心，为统计规划和分析、研究设计和执行的专家咨询以及数据管理提供集中资源;（4）发展核心，通过使用新兴信息技术，提高中心研究人员开展与中心总体使命一致的创新研究的能力，为新的研究提供试验性研究支助，并为赠款申请编制方面的培训提供支助，以及为学术写作和出版过程中的初级研究人员提供培训支助;（5）道德和政策核心，确定和框定艾滋病毒预防和护理中需要系统的经验分析的伦理和政策问题，并提供伦理和政策问题教育;（6）全球社区核心，确定在美国和全球范围内建立研究伙伴关系的机会，以促进艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究的产生和实践，与新的全球公共卫生重大倡议相结合，并开发理论模型和方法，以理解和推进合作过程，优化伙伴关系。在2002年成功完成了从P50到P30机制的授权过渡后，艾滋病毒中心为大量调查人员提供了丰富的增值资源，同时越来越多地吸引和培训新的调查人员，并在科学、方案和政策方面做出创新贡献，以应对国家和国际一级不断演变的艾滋病毒/艾滋病流行病。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The HIV Center for Clinical and Behavioral Studies is dedicated to multidisciplinary research on the prevention and transmission of HIV and on the improvement of HIV-infected people's lives with an emphasis on sexual risk behavior and the critical role of gender in effective interventions. We are proposing six Cores: (1) the Administrative Core, to provide the leadership to both stimulate and manage innovative research, ensuring the highest scientific standards, ethical integrity, and efficient fiscal operations; (2) the Interdisciplinary Research Methods Core, to provide consultation and oversight for HIV-related sexuality research (including theoretical conceptualization, qualitative and quantitative measurement, and intervention development) and a forum for analysis of theoretical and methodological issues in HIV prevention science; (3) the Statistics. Epidemiology, and Data Management Core, to provide a centralized resource for statistical planning and analysis, for expert consultation on study design and execution, and for data management; (4) the Development Core, to increase the capacity of Center investigators to undertake innovative research consistent with the overall mission of the Center through use of emerging information technologies, pilot study support for new research and training in grant application development, and training support for junior investigators in the academic writing and publishing process; (5) the Ethics and Policy Core, to identify and frame ethical and policy questions in HIV prevention and care that require systematic empirical analysis and to provide education on ethical and policy issues; and (6) the Global Community Core, to identify opportunities for research partnerships in the US and globally that will enhance the generation and adoption into practice of research on HIV/AIDS, interface with major new global public health initiatives, and to develop theoretical models and methodologies to understand and advance the collaborative process and optimize partnerships. Having successfully completed the mandated transition from a P50 to a P30 mechanism in 2002, the HIV Center provides a rich, value-added resource to a large number of investigators, while increasingly attracting and training new investigators and making innovative scientific, programmatic, and policy contributions that respond to the evolving HIV/AIDS epidemic on a national and international level.
