DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a comprehensively revised application of the Assessment Core of the original submission under a new name which better reflects the mission of this Core. The Interdisciplinary Research Methods Core (IRMC) will support the Center's central research agenda which is focused on understanding sexuality and gender in the context of HIV risk, and on developing interventions designed to reduce the spread of HIV and to improve long-term survival and quality of life of persons with HIV/AIDS. The previous Psychosexual Core and Psychosocial/Qualitative Assessment Core developed expertise in the conceptualization and assessment of sexual risk behavior, gender scripts, and other aspects of sexuality; the investigation of psychological adaptation and of health behavior and attitude; and the formulation of risk-preventive interventions, employing both quantitative and, increasingly, qualitative approaches. We now propose an Interdisciplinary Research Methods Core that integrates the expertise of these two antecedent Cores. The IRMC has three specific aims: (1) Project consultation: To serve as the central advisory resource for HIV Center investigators on the characterization of study populations (especially determinants and contexts of people's sexual lives); conceptualization of explanatory models; conceptualization and operationalization of outcomes, mediating factors, and intervention process factors; and development and implementation of interventions; (2) Training and education: To serve as a resource for Centerwide training in HIV-related sex research and prevention science including ethnographic, qualitative and quantitative approaches and instruments; and (3) Science development: To serve as a venue for synthesizing discussion of emerging theoretical and methodological challenges in HIV-related sexual behavior and sexual risk intervention science, including investigators from the HIV Center and other institutions. The IRMC centralizes the expertise of an interdisciplinary group of specialists in diverse areas of HIV-related behavioral research and can, thereby, provide efficient consultations to investigators from project conception through the final phase of data interpretation and reporting. Investigators' access to the Core will alleviate major logistical and financial burdens of project implementation. In addition, Core members will participate in Center-wide training/education activities and in the dissemination of theoretical and methodological approaches beyond the HIV Center. The Core will also provide a forum for exchange among investigators from a variety of behavioral-science disciplines in the exploration of cutting-edge issues in HIV prevention science.

描述（由申请人提供）：这是一份经过全面修改的申请 原始提交的评估核心采用新名称，更好地体现了该核心的使命。跨学科研究方法核心（IRMC）将支持该中心的中心研究议程，该议程的重点是了解艾滋病毒风险背景下的性行为和性别，并制定旨在减少艾滋病毒传播并提高长期生存和质量的干预措施艾滋病毒/艾滋病患者的生活。之前的性心理核心和社会心理/定性评估核心发展了性风险行为、性别脚本和性行为其他方面的概念化和评估方面的专业知识；心理适应和健康行为和态度的调查；制定风险预防干预措施，同时采用定量方法和越来越多的定性方法。我们现在提出了一个跨学科研究方法核心，它整合了这两个先前核心的专业知识。 IRMC 有三个具体目标： (1) 项目咨询：作为 HIV 中心调查人员关于研究人群特征（尤其是研究人群的决定因素和背景）的中央咨询资源。 人们的性生活）；解释模型的概念化；概念化和 结果、中介因素和干预过程因素的可操作化；干预措施的制定和实施； (2) 培训和教育：作为中心范围内艾滋病毒相关性研究和预防科学培训的资源，包括人种学、定性和定量方法和工具； (3) 科学发展：作为综合讨论艾滋病毒相关性行为和性风险干预科学中新出现的理论和方法挑战的场所，包括来自艾滋病毒中心和其他机构的研究人员。 IRMC 集中了艾滋病毒相关行为研究不同领域的跨学科专家组的专业知识，从而可以为研究人员提供从项目构思到数据解释和报告最后阶段的有效咨询。研究人员进入核心区将减轻项目实施的主要后勤和财务负担。此外，核心成员将参加中心范围内的培训/教育活动以及在艾滋病毒中心之外传播理论和方法方法。该核心还将为来自不同行为科学学科的研究人员提供一个交流论坛，以探索艾滋病毒预防科学的前沿问题。
