Behavioral, Social Sciences and Community Outreach Core (Core E)

行为，社会科学和社区外展核心（E）项目摘要/摘要 迈阿密是美国艾滋病毒感染率最高的城市，艾滋病毒在种族和民族上都是多样化的。 在艾滋病毒护理和预防方面面临重大结构性和背景障碍的人口。因此，委员会认为， 行为/社会科学和社区外展是迈阿密CFAR成功的关键组成部分。 具体而言，行为/社会科学和社区外展核心（核心E）将提供行为和 社会科学的科学领导地位;维持基础设施，促进基础科学、临床科学和 行为/社会科学;促进相关教育和指导;增加新的UM数量 调查人员进入艾滋病毒研究领域，并扩大以社区为基础的伙伴关系，以预防，治疗和 治愈艾滋病毒/艾滋病。这些目标将通过以下具体目标实现：目标1。促进积极 通过促进新的和正在进行的合作，使南佛罗里达社区参与迈阿密CFAR 研究者、社区组织（CBO）、当地联邦合格卫生中心 （CDHCs）和佛罗里达卫生部（FLDOH），以确保他们的参与和投入， 开发、实施、监测和完成研究项目。目标二。提供研究者 咨询和资源，以加强招聘和保留社区和诊所为基础的研究 参与者注意难以接触的人群，包括艾滋病毒感染高危人群、艾滋病毒阳性人群 没有接受艾滋病毒治疗的患者、药物使用者、性少数群体以及种族和族裔少数群体， 减少健康差距。目标3。扩大行为临床研究和机会，为行为和社会 科学家与临床和基础科学家合作，提供必要的基础设施， CFAR研究人员战略性地进入高优先级的调查领域。核心E将作为一个有价值的 提供调查工具和指导支持的资源，这些工具和支持超出了通过常规方法获得的 赠款机制。

Behavioral, Social Sciences and Community Outreach Core (E) Project Summary/Abstract Miami, the city with the highest HIV infection case rate in the U.S. has an ethnically, racially diverse HIV population that faces significant structural and contextual barriers to HIV care and prevention. Accordingly, behavioral/social sciences and community outreach are key components to the success of the Miami CFAR. Specifically, the Behavioral/Social Sciences and Community Outreach Core (Core E) will provide behavioral and social science scientific leadership; sustain an infrastructure fostering integration of basic, clinical sciences, and behavioral/social sciences; promote relevant education and mentorship; increase the number of new UM investigators entering the field of HIV research and; expand community based partnerships to prevent, treat and cure HIV/AIDS. These goals will be accomplished through the following Specific Aims: Aim 1. Promote active involvement of the South Florida community in the Miami CFAR by facilitating new and ongoing collaborations between investigators, Community Based Organizations (CBOs), Local Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) and the Florida Department of Health (FLDOH) to ensure their participation and input in the development, implementation, monitoring, and completion of research projects. Aim 2. Provide investigators with consultation and resources to enhance recruitment and retention of community and clinic-based study participants with attention to hard to engage populations including those at high risk of HIV infection, HIV positive patients who are not receiving HIV care, substance users, sexual minorities and racial and ethnic minorities to reduce health disparities. Aim 3. Expand behavioral clinical studies and opportunities for behavioral and social scientists to collaborate with clinical and basic scientists by providing the necessary infrastructure to enable CFAR researchers to strategically move into high priority areas of investigation. Core E will serve as a valuable resource that provides investigative tools and mentoring support beyond that which is available through routine grant mechanisms.
