Jonathan Fuchs and Monica Gandhi have developed a fully packed ¾ day event that responds to high priority professional development needs shared by UCSF ESIs. Participants will learn:

Reception

Implementation science is an emerging field focused on closing the gap between efficacious interventions and real world practice. While the HIV research community has enthusiastically embraced the motivation for implementation science, there is far less consensus on the critical approaches to successful conduct of implementation science in the context of the HIV epidemic. Many methodological issues, which have perhaps been less emphasized in traditional clinical research, are particularly salient for knowledge about implementation. External validity is as important as internal validity.

In October, 2019, the UCSF Center for AIDS Prevention Studies (CAPS) received $628,000 in Ending the Epidemic grant funding from the National Institute of Health (NIH). The NIH awarded the grants through a competitive application and review process, funding the following studies. We’ll hear brief presentations from each of the grant recipients!
