项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): HIV continues unchecked in South Africa, with rates of infection among women in rural areas doubling in the last 10 years. South Africa has significant scientific expertise in biomedical innovations, yet the successful implementation and scale up of recently-identified biomedical interventions will require enhanced HIV behavioral expertise, particularly among highly marginalized populations, if the equity gap is to be reduced. The Global Partnership for AIDS Behavioral Research (GPABR) is an organizational structure aiming: 1) to build the scientific capacity of Stellenbosch University and its partners in South Africa to be a key research center with behavioral HIV expertise; 2) to identify and implement a behavioral research agenda regarding HIV combination prevention, the use of mobile and rapid diagnostic technologies, and adapting evidence- based interventions (EBI); and 3) to network faculty, students, consultants, and infrastructure staff. Building on ongoing scientific collaborations, GPABR will be a collaboration among interdisciplinary researchers from Stellenbosch University, the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), and Emory University. An Infrastructure Core and a Research Project Development Core of the GPABR will mobilize scientists, advocates, community and health system providers and consumers to transform HIV research expertise in the social sciences at Stellenbosch University. We will focus our research in a highly rural site in the Eastern Cape, as well as peri-urban Cape Town sites. The Infrastructure Core will: set an HIV behavioral research agenda; support IRB submissions, publications, and grants; promote diverse interdisciplinary research teams. The Research Project Development Core will: conduct an annual competition for pilot grants and conduct a peer review process. We anticipate the impact of the GPABR will be demonstrated in the number and quality of researchers and research products, U.S.-South Africa collaborations; and ratings of trainees and faculty on the quality of mentoring. Overall, GPABR aims to build HlV behavioral scientists, science, and networks to reduce HIV in South Africa and to share expertise with partners globally.

描述（由申请人提供）：艾滋病毒在南非继续不受限制，农村地区妇女的感染率在过去10年中增加了一倍。南非在生物医学创新方面具有重要的科学专业知识，但是，如果要缩小股权差距，则成功实施并扩大了最近确定的生物医学干预措施，尤其是在高度边缘化的人群中，需要增强的HIV行为专业知识。全球艾滋病行为研究（GPABR）的伙伴关系是一种组织结构：1）建立斯泰伦博斯大学及其在南非的合作伙伴的科学能力，成为具有行为HIV专业知识的重要研究中心； 2）识别和实施有关预防HIV组合，移动和快速诊断技术的行为研究议程，并调整基于证据的干预措施（EBI）； 3）向网络教师，学生，顾问和基础设施人员。 GPABR在持续的科学合作的基础上，将是Stellenbosch大学，加利福尼亚大学，洛杉矶大学（UCLA）和Emory University的跨学科研究人员的合作。 GPABR的基础设施核心和研究项目开发核心将动员科学家，倡导者，社区和卫生系统提供者和消费者改变斯泰伦博斯大学社会科学的HIV研究专业知识。我们将把研究重点放在东开普省的一个高度农村地点，以及城市开普敦的景点。基础设施核心将：设定HIV行为研究议程；支持IRB提交，出版物和赠款；促进多样化的跨学科研究团队。研究项目开发核心将：为飞行员赠款进行年度竞赛，并进行同行审查过程。我们预计，GPABR的影响将在研究人员和研究产品的数量和质量，美国南非合作中得到证明；以及学员和教师对指导质量的评价。总体而言，GPABR旨在建立HLV行为科学家，科学和网络，以减少南非的艾滋病毒，并与全球合作伙伴共享专业知识。
