The Interdisciplinary Research Methods Core (IRMC) will support the HIV Center's central research agenda, which focuses on understanding the interrelationship of gender, sexuality, and mental health in the context of HIV risk and on developing interventions designed to reduce the spread of HIV and improve long-term survival and quality of life of persons with HIV/AIDS. Over the past two decades, the IRMC and its precursor Cores have developed expertise in the conceptualization and assessment - qualitatively and quantitatively - of sexual risk behavior, gender scripts, and other aspects of sexuality; the investigation of psychological adaptation and of health behavior and attitudes; the formulation of risk-preventive interventions; and the application and adaptation of this expertise to cultures and countries beyond the US. The IRMC has three specific aims: (1) Project Consultation: To serve as the central advisory and oversight resource to HIV Center investigators on the characterization of study populations (especially determinants and contexts of people's sexual lives); conceptualization of explanatory models; development and implementation of interventions, on multiple levels where appropriate; and conceptualization and operationalization of outcomes, mediating factors, and intervention process factors; (2) Training and Education: To serve as a resource for Center-wide 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 emerging theoretical and methodological challenges in HIV-related sexual behavior and sexual-risk intervention science, with practical implications for public policy and for the planning of research. The IRMC centralizes the expertise of an interdisciplinary group of clinical and non-clinical 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' utilization of the Core will alleviate major logistical and financial burdens of obtaining multi-disciplinary consultations during project development and 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.

跨学科研究方法核心 (IRMC) 将支持艾滋病毒中心的核心研究 议程，重点是了解性别、性行为和心理健康之间的相互关系 艾滋病毒风险的背景以及制定旨在减少艾滋病毒传播的干预措施 改善艾滋病毒/艾滋病患者的长期生存和生活质量。在过去的二十年里， IRMC 及其前身 Cores 已在概念化和评估方面积累了专业知识 - 定性和定量——性风险行为、性别脚本和性的其他方面； 心理适应以及健康行为和态度的调查；的表述 风险预防干预措施；以及将这些专业知识应用和适应文化和国家 超越美国。 IRMC 有三个具体目标： (1) 项目咨询：作为中心 为艾滋病毒中心调查人员提供有关研究人群特征的咨询和监督资源 （尤其是人们性生活的决定因素和背景）；解释模型的概念化； 酌情在多个层面制定和实施干预措施；和 结果、中介因素和干预过程因素的概念化和操作化； (2) 培训和教育：作为中心范围内艾滋病毒相关性研究培训的资源 预防科学，包括人种学/定性和定量方法和工具； (3) 科学发展：作为综合新兴理论和成果的场所 艾滋病毒相关性行为和性风险干预科学的方法论挑战， 对公共政策和研究规划的实际影响。 IRMC 集中 由不同领域的临床和非临床专家组成的跨学科小组的专业知识 与艾滋病毒相关的行为研究，从而可以为研究人员提供有效的咨询 项目构思到数据解释和报告的最后阶段。调查员的利用 核心的建设将减轻获得多学科咨询的主要后勤和财务负担 在项目开发和实施过程中。此外，核心成员还将参与 中心范围内的培训/教育活动以及理论和方法的传播 艾滋病毒中心以外的方法。核心还将提供一个论坛，供各方交流 来自各种行为科学学科的研究人员探索前沿问题 艾滋病毒预防科学。
