The specific aims of the Sociobehavioral and Prevention Research Core are to support:

1. HIV Prevention Research including…

• technical assistance to CFAR investigators
• organizing forums for interdisciplinary research community development
• expanding our substantive expertise to include addictions, substance use, and mental health research

2. Community Outreach including…

Working Locally…

• with our Community Action Board to pursue community–based research priorities and translational opportunities
• taking advantage of our institutional ties to Public Health—Seattle & King County to stimulate collaborative research projects and evidence based policy development

Working Internationally…

• with the International Core to identify collaborative research and translational opportunities
• with the new University of Nairobi Center for HIV Prevention and Research (UNCHIVPR) on translational research for HIV prevention

Integrating social, behavioral, and clinical science is increasingly necessary for progress in controlling HIV, and the Sociobehavioral and Prevention Research Core works to assure this synergy by providing support to behavioral, clinical, and social scientists in their research.
