DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is an application for the re-competition of the Adolescent Medicine Trials Unit in San Francisco, a collaboration between the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) and Larkin Street Youth services (LSYS). San Francisco targets the key vulnerable populations outlined in the RFA: runaway homeless, substance abusing and minority youth, as well as transgender youth. Our aims remain to continue outreach to vulnerable youth both HIV infected and uninfected at risk and to engage them safely in clinical and behavioral research. We aim to continue creating a strong infrastructure for performing HIV vaccine trials in the future. We believe we contributed to the overall strength and breadth of the ATM and meet the expectations for renewal. Our site is an ATU centered in the community rather than the university; bringing university expertise in partnership to the community. Our primary clinical population of HIV positive youth receives medical care at Larkin Street Youth Services' (LSYS) community clinic, and we now have engaged more than 14 other community sites in recruitment and referrals into ATN studies. As of March 1, 2005 we have recruited 77 subjects into currently open clinical and prevention protocols at our site (021,022, 023B,024, 025, and 0168), have participated in several protocol development teams (015, 016B, 034, 039 and PACTG 1046), and a member of our staff was lead author on the first paper to be completed about Connect to Protect. UCSF Division of Adolescent Medicine is a rich resource for adolescent medicine research and clinical services to youth. The ATU at SF team includes the PI, Dr. Moscicki, our Connect to Protect (C2P)team members Catherine Geanuracos, LCSW, Kevin Sniecinski, and Dr. Colette Auerswald, Study Coordinators Bethany Certa, RN, BSN and J.B. Molaghan ANP-C, and staff assistant Nigel Reyes. At LSYS, Alan Taggart, M.D., has served HIV infected and uninfected youth at Larkin Street Youth for over nine years. He and Heather Weisbrod, the outreach worker, have effectively identified, screened and recruited homeless youth into trials. Our clinic services include LSYS, which has a comprehensive, youth centered, culturally appropriate model of HIV care, and, at UCSF, the Positive Health Practices and Pediatrics AIDS Program. In summary, our ATU site is a unique partnership between the university and the community. During the last 5 years, we have solidified our commitment to ensure marginalized and vulnerable youths' right to participate in research. The Connect to Protect project has expanded our involvement with the community and has brought additional agencies into our referral network. We believe it is critical to continue to engage the high risk youth in the San Francisco Bay Area in clinical and behavioral research.

描述（由申请人提供）：这是在旧金山重新竞争青少年医学试验部门的申请，这是加利福尼亚大学旧金山大学（UCSF）（UCSF）与Larkin Street Youth Services（LSYS）之间的合作。旧金山针对RFA中概述的关键脆弱人群：无家可归的无家可归，滥用毒品和少数族裔青年以及变性年轻人。我们的目标仍然是继续向受感染和未感染的艾滋病毒感染的弱势青年宣传，并将其安全地参与临床和行为研究。我们的目标是继续创建强大的基础设施，以便将来进行HIV疫苗试验。我们相信，我们为ATM的整体实力和广度做出了贡献，并满足了对续约的期望。我们的网站是集中在社区而不是大学的ATU。将大学专业知识与社区联系起来。我们的主要艾滋病毒临床人群在Larkin Street青年服务（LSYS）社区诊所接受医疗服务，现在我们已经聘请了其他14个社区网站从事招聘，并将其转介到ATN研究中。 As of March 1, 2005 we have recruited 77 subjects into currently open clinical and prevention protocols at our site (021,022, 023B,024, 025, and 0168), have participated in several protocol development teams (015, 016B, 034, 039 and PACTG 1046), and a member of our staff was lead author on the first paper to be completed about Connect to Protect. UCSF青少年医学部是青少年医学研究和临床服务的丰富资源。 SF团队的ATU包括PI，Moscicki博士，我们的Connect（C2P）团队成员Catherine Geanuracos，LCSW，Kevin Sniecinski和Colette Auerswald博士，研究协调员Bethany Certa，RN，RN，BSN和J.B. Molaghan Anp-C和J.B. Molaghan Anp-C和员工Nigel nigel Reyeses。在LSYS，医学博士Alan Taggart，在Larkin Street青年中为艾滋病毒感染和未感染的青年服务了九年以上。他和外展工作者的希瑟·韦斯布罗德（Heather Weisbrod）有效地确定，筛选和招募了无家可归的青年。我们的诊所服务包括LSY，它具有全面的，以青年为中心，具有文化适当的艾滋病毒护理模型，以及在UCSF的健康实践和儿科艾滋病计划。总而言之，我们的ATU网站是大学与社区之间的独特伙伴关系。在过去的五年中，我们巩固了我们的承诺，以确保边缘化和脆弱的年轻人参与研究的权利。 Connect for Protect Project已扩大了我们与社区的参与，并将其他机构带入了我们的推荐网络。我们认为，继续与旧金山湾区的高风险青年进行临床和行为研究至关重要。
