The ever-growing and evolving HIV epidemic in both the US and the developing world continues to pose numerous critical ethical and policy issues. These are becoming all the more acute as researchers begin work in unfamiliar settings and with new populations in the developing world. Further, given the particular vulnerability of people living with or at high risk of HIV, it is especially crucial that HIV-related research be conducted according to stringent ethical standards. The Ethics and Policy Core (EPC) will enhance the Center's ability to address these issues through three overall functions of providing consultation, fostering education, and conducting empirical research on two broad areas: 1) policy issues at multiple levels- international, national, local, institutional and professional (i.e., including policies in various health care institutions and settings), and 2) ethics of research with people who are infected with or at risk for infection with HIV. The EPC builds on the past work of the HIV Center in ethics and policy and will also incorporate new emphases on research ethics and the relationship between policy and economics. The EPC will consult with Center investigators concerning policy implications and research ethics related to their work as they conduct research, develop new research initiatives, prepare grants and IRB applications, analyze findings, and write manuscripts. The EPC will also provide and enhance education on ethical and policy issues among investigators and trainees in the Center and in broader communities through seminars, conferences and roundtable discussions, as well as a Program in Applied Ethics for newer investigators. The Core will also conduct research either through stand-alone studies or by adding studies of ethical and policy questions onto existing Center research studies. The Core will help identify ethical and policy issues that need to, and can, be studied empirically, and can be pursued by Pis (either from the Core or the rest of the Center). Thus, the Core will add significantly to the Center as a whole, infusing into the Center critical expertise and activities in these areas that can help expand understandings and approaches in policy, research ethics, and numerous other domains within the broad area of HIV prevention and treatment. Specifically, the Core will enable Center investigators, in key ways they would not otherwise, develop policy implications of their work, promote the practice and understanding of research ethics, examine crucial policy issues using empirical approaches.

美国和发展中国家的艾滋病毒流行不断发展壮大 许多关键的道德和政策问题。随着研究人员的开始，这些变得更加敏锐 在不熟悉的环境和发展中国家的新人群中工作。此外，鉴于特定 与艾滋病毒相处或高风险的人的脆弱性，与艾滋病毒相关的研究尤为重要 根据严格的道德标准进行。道德和政策核心（EPC）将增强 该中心通过提供咨询的三个总体功能解决这些问题的能力， 促进教育，并对两个广泛领域进行实证研究：1）多重政策问题 级别 - 国际，国家，地方，机构和专业人士（即包括各种健康的政策 护理机构和设置）以及2）与感染或有风险的人的研究道德规范 艾滋病毒感染。 EPC建立在艾滋病毒伦理和政策中心的过去工作的基础上，也将 结合了对研究伦理的新重视以及政策与经济学之间的关系。这 EPC将咨询中心调查人员有关与 他们进行研究，制定新的研究计划，准备赠款和IRB的工作 应用，分析发现并编写手稿。 EPC还将提供和增强教育 关于中心和更广泛社区的调查人员和学员之间的道德和政策问题 通过研讨会，会议和圆桌讨论，以及针对应用道德的计划 较新的调查员。核心还将通过独立研究或添加 对现有中心研究的道德和政策问题的研究。核心将有助于识别 道德和政策问题需要和可以通过经验研究，可以由PIS进行（要么 从核心或中心的其余部分）。因此，核心将大大增加整个中心的 注入中心的关键专业知识和这些领域的活动，可以帮助扩展 政策，研究伦理和广泛的众多其他领域的理解和方法 艾滋病毒预防和治疗区域。具体而言，核心将以关键的方式使中心调查员能够 他们不会否则不会制定工作的政策影响，促进实践和 了解研究伦理，使用经验方法检查关键的政策问题。
