DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Office of AIDS Research has as objective to advance research that leads to better community adoption of effective interventions, and has emphasized its support for research examining exchange of knowledge between service providers and researchers. The study of research collaborations can affect public health by: 1) enhancing relevance of research questions and results; 2) developing community-friendly programs; and 3) promoting community adoption of interventions. This request for an NIMH Mentored Research Scientist Development Award (K01) will enable the applicant to develop a career to focus on 1) examining factors that facilitate HIV prevention research collaboration in minority communities, 2) developing evidence-based models of collaboration that can be replicated, 3) determining optimal mechanisms for collaboration, and 4) examining the impact of researcher-provider collaboration on the effectiveness and adoption of interventions. Plans have been made for mentoring, consultation, and advanced course-taking that will help the applicant accomplish the following goals: 1) To examine key features of HIV prevention research collaboration (actors, functions, contexts, barriers); 2) To acquire training in the collection, management, and analysis of quantitative data, and in the development and testing of structural equation models of collaboration; 3) To build expertise in community-based participatory HIV prevention research methods; and 4) To conduct HIV prevention collaborative research in partnership with multiple Community-Based Organizations domestically and internationally. A K01 at this stage of the applicant's career will support an ethnic minority social work investigator to sharpen his research skills, and enhance his ability to develop cutting edge methods for collecting, analyzing, and interpreting behavioral data. In order to accomplish this, the applicant proposes a research plan involving two complementary studies. Using qualitative methods, Study One will identify facilitators and barriers to providers' collaboration in HIV prevention research, and refine a conceptual model of collaboration that will reflect the perspectives of providers. Using structural equation modeling, Study Two will examine how various factors in the model will interact with one another, thus allowing the applicant to make inferences on the relative importance of each of the factors that influence providers' collaboration. This research will shed light on specific modifiable factors that may help researchers engage providers in collaborative research.

描述（由申请人提供）：艾滋病研究办公室的目标是提高研究，从而更好地采用有效的干预措施，并强调其对研究提供者和研究人员之间知识交流的支持。研究合作的研究可能会影响公共卫生：1）增强研究问题和结果的相关性； 2）制定社区友好计划； 3）促进社区采用干预措施。这项申请NIMH指导研究科学家发展奖（K01）的要求将使申请人能够发展职业，以关注1）检查促进少数民族社区艾滋病毒预防研究合作的因素，2）开发基于证据的协作模型复制，3）确定协作的最佳机制，以及4）研究研究人员合作对干预措施有效性和采用的影响。已经制定了指导，咨询和高级课程学习的计划，这些计划将有助于申请人实现以下目标：1）检查艾滋病毒预防研究合作的关键特征（参与者，职能，情境，障碍）； 2）在定量数据的集合，管理和分析中获得培训，以及协作结构方程模型的开发和测试； 3）在基于社区的参与艾滋病毒预防研究方法中建立专业知识； 4）在国内和国际上与多个基于社区的组织合作进行HIV预防合作研究。在申请人职业生涯的这个阶段的K01将支持少数民族社会工作调查员提高他的研究技能，并增强他开发尖端方法来收集，分析和解释行为数据的能力。为了实现这一目标，申请人提出了一项研究计划，其中涉及两项互补研究。使用定性方法，研究将确定提供者在艾滋病毒预防研究方面的协作的促进者和障碍，并完善一种合作的概念模型，该模型将反映提供者的观点。使用结构方程建模，研究二将研究模型中的各种因素如何相互作用，从而使申请人可以推断出影响提供者协作的每个因素的相对重要性。这项研究将阐明特定的可修改因素，这些因素可能有助于研究人员参与协作研究。
