HIV Center for Clinical and Behavior Studies

艾滋病毒临床和行为研究中心致力于关于预防和传播艾滋病毒以及改善艾滋病毒感染者生活的多学科研究，重点是性危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，为激励和管理创新研究提供领导，确保最高的科学标准、道德诚信和有效的财政运作；(2)跨学科研究方法核心，为艾滋病相关的性研究提供咨询和监督（包括理论概念化、定性和定量测量以及干预措施的开发），并为艾滋病预防科学的理论和方法问题分析提供论坛；（三）统计。流行病学和数据管理核心，为统计计划和分析、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，为新研究提供试点研究支持和资助申请开发培训，以及在学术写作和出版过程中为初级研究人员提供培训支持，提高中心研究人员进行符合中心总体使命的创新研究的能力；(5)伦理和政策核心，识别和构建需要系统实证分析的艾滋病毒预防和护理中的伦理和政策问题，并提供有关伦理和政策问题的教育；(6)全球社区核心，在美国和全球范围内确定研究伙伴关系的机会，这将加强对艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究的产生和采用，并将其付诸实践，与新的主要全球公共卫生倡议相结合，并开发理论模型和方法，以理解和推进合作过程并优化伙伴关系。

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.
