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.
CFAR and the Gladstone Institutes are offering an opportunity for CFAR mentees to participate in a 1-day grant writing workshop hosted at the Gladstone and organized by Grant Writers' Seminars and Workshops.
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!
Hong-Ha Truong, PhD: Enhancing Partner Notification for Newly-Diagnosed, Sexually Active High Risk MSM
Presenters will provide an overview of appropriate study designs for COVID intervention evaluations as well as how/whether to adapt these designs (both with respect to data collection and analysis) that were conceived for non-COVID research in response to the COVID-19 pandemic or other disruptions. Designs that will be discussed include: pre/post and interrupted time series, stepped wedge, SMART designs, preference designs, and others that focus on implementation.
Speakers: Margaret Handley, Starley Shade, Jean Digitale, and Kristefer Stojanovski
