DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): To respond to the HIV epidemic and reduce health disparities in HIV incidence and outcomes, we propose a Prevention Research Center (PRC) at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) that facilitates significant and innovative health science research through partnerships with public health colleagues that ultimately improves public health. The HIV epidemic continues to be a major public health crisis in the U.S., with more than 1 million people living with HIV and more than 50,000 becoming newly infected every year1. Given the progress in preventing and treating HIV, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has identified HIV as a winnable battle, Healthy People 2020 has included HIV as a topic area, sexual health is part of the National Prevention Strategy, and the White House has made HIV a policy priority with the release of the National HIV/AIDS Strategy. HIV has had a disproportionate impact on African Americans, representing one of the largest health disparities in the U.S. While comprising just 13% of the total national population, African Americans account for 51% of all new HIV/AIDS diagnoses. While HIV disproportionately impacts African Americans, Black gay and other men who have sex with men (BMSM) are particularly impacted. In particular young BMSM (aged 13 - 24 years) are the only subpopulation where the rate of new infections continues to increase. These national data highlight the urgent need to focus research on eliminating HIV health disparities among African Americans in general and BMSM in particular. This application proposes to develop and implement authentic community engagement and support implementation of a research project that focuses on linking, engaging and reengaging in care young BMSM living with HIV. Our overall aims are to: 1. Establish a Prevention Research Center that focuses on appropriate adaptation, dissemination and implementation of HIV health disparities research for application to policy, programs and practices; 2. Enhance collaborations with partners in the community, health care systems, government agencies, institutions and universities to facilitate innovative, high-impact, multidisciplinary HIV research and knowledge translation to training, programs, practices and policies; 3. Increase the capacity of partners in the community, health care systems, government agencies, institutions and universities to understand and implement the findings from HIV research through targeted training, communication and dissemination; and 4. Develop an implementation research portfolio that translates and adapts an evidence-based intervention into practice settings. We propose to begin this portfolio by studying the implementation of an evaluated intervention to improve linkage of HIV-infected young Black MSM to clinical care.

描述（由申请人提供）：为了应对艾滋病毒流行并减少艾滋病毒发病率和结果方面的健康差异，我们提议在加州大学旧金山分校 (UCSF) 设立预防研究中心 (PRC)，以促进重大和创新的健康科学通过与公共卫生同事合作进行研究，最终改善公共卫生。艾滋病毒流行仍然是美国的重大公共卫生危机，每年有超过 100 万人感染艾滋病毒，其中新增感染者超过 5 万人1。鉴于艾滋病毒预防和治疗方面取得的进展，美国疾病控制与预防中心 (CDC) 已将艾滋病毒视为一场必胜之战，《健康人民 2020》已将艾滋病毒列为主题领域，性健康已成为国家预防战略的一部分，白宫发布了国家艾滋病毒/艾滋病战略，将艾滋病毒作为政策优先事项。艾滋病毒对非裔美国人造成了不成比例的影响，是美国最大的健康差异之一。虽然非裔美国人仅占全国总人口的 13%，但占所有新诊断艾滋病毒/艾滋病的 51%。虽然艾滋病毒对非裔美国人的影响尤为严重，但黑人同性恋者和其他男男性行为者 (BMSM) 受到的影响尤其严重。特别是年轻的 BMSM（13-24 岁）是唯一新感染率持续增加的亚群。这些国家数据凸显了迫切需要将研究重点放在消除非裔美国人（特别是 BMSM）之间的艾滋病毒健康差异上。该申请建议开发和实施真正的社区参与，并支持实施一个研究项目，该项目的重点是联系、参与和重新参与护理感染艾滋病毒的年轻 BMSM。我们的总体目标是： 1. 建立一个预防研究中心，重点关注艾滋病毒健康差异研究的适当调整、传播和实施，以应用于政策、规划和实践； 2. 加强与社区、卫生保健系统、政府机构、机构和大学合作伙伴的合作，促进创新、高影响力、多学科的艾滋病毒研究和知识转化为培训、计划、实践和政策； 3. 通过有针对性的培训、沟通和传播，提高社区、卫生保健系统、政府机构、机构和大学的合作伙伴理解和实施艾滋病毒研究结果的能力； 4. 开发实施研究组合，将循证干预措施转化并适应实践环境。我们建议通过研究评估干预措施的实施来开始这一投资组合，以改善感染艾滋病毒的年轻黑人男男性接触者与临床护理的联系。
