DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This U13 Conference Proposal entitled "Alcohol, Sexuality and HIV Research and Prevention in India" requests support for two international seminars that will bring together Indian and American researchers to review and present existing research results on the intersection of alcohol use and HIV in India and initiate discussions on the development of a national research agenda on this topic. The proposal represents a cooperative agreement between the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, and Indian and U.S. research institutions to build a national research and policy platform that addresses the role of alcohol in fueling the AIDS epidemic in India. It occurs at a time when critical factors converge in both countries including the call for improvements in HIV research infrastructure in India, India's high potential for rapid increases in HIV, dramatically accelerating rates of alcohol consumption, a new U.S.-Indo agreement to conduct jointly funded HIV research and NIAAA's interest in international collaborations around reducing alcohol related HIV risks. The seminars aim to provide an opportunity for U.S. and Indian HIV and alcohol researchers to share information, collaborate and construct joint studies and test conceptual models, to build research capacity and to engage NIAAA as a contributor to an Indian national multilevel interdisciplinary research agenda focused on alcohol, risk behavior and HIV. The first seminar will focus on epidemiology, history and descriptive studies, and will be held in Mumbai in 2008; the second will address intervention science methodology and results of intervention research on alcohol and HIV in India, and will be held in Delhi in 2009. Collaborating organizations include the Institute for Community Research and the University of Connecticut Health Center (U.S.), the International Institute for Population Sciences (IIPS), and the International Center for Research on Women (Delhi), with coordinating input from the Indian Council for Medical Statistics and the All-India Institute for Medical Sciences (AIIMS). A coordinating committee consisting of senior researchers from all of these institutions will finalize the seminars and support publications in peer reviewed journals.

描述（由申请人提供）：这项题为“印度的酒精、性和艾滋病毒研究与预防”的 U13 会议提案请求支持两个国际研讨会，这两个研讨会将汇集印度和美国的研究人员，审查和展示有关酒精交叉点的现有研究成果印度的使用情况和艾滋病毒问题，并就制定该主题的国家研究议程发起讨论。该提案代表了国家酒精滥用和酒精中毒研究所与印度和美国研究机构之间的一项合作协议，旨在建立一个国家研究和政策平台，解决酒精在助长印度艾滋病流行方面的作用。它发生在两国关键因素交汇之际，包括呼吁改善印度的艾滋病毒研究基础设施、印度艾滋病毒迅速增加的巨大潜力、急剧加速的酒精消费率、美国与印度联合资助的一项新协议HIV 研究和 NIAAA 对围绕降低酒精相关 HIV 风险开展国际合作的兴趣。这些研讨会旨在为美国和印度艾滋病毒和酒精研究人员提供一个机会，分享信息、合作和构建联合研究和测试概念模型，建设研究能力，并让 NIAAA 参与印度国家多层次跨学科研究议程，重点关注酒精、危险行为和艾滋病毒。第一次研讨会将集中于流行病学、历史和描述性研究，将于 2008 年在孟买举行；第二届会议将于 2009 年在德里举行，讨论印度酒精和艾滋病毒干预科学方法和干预研究结果。合作组织包括社区研究所和康涅狄格大学健康中心（美国）、国际研究所人口科学研究所（IIPS）和国际妇女研究中心（德里），并由印度医学统计委员会和全印度医学科学研究所（AIIMS）协调投入。由所有这些机构的高级研究人员组成的协调委员会将完成研讨会并支持在同行评审期刊上发表论文。
