## Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY
The unifying goal of the Developmental Core of the Center for AIDS Prevention Studies (CAPS) is to support
trainees and scientists in their efforts to conduct high-impact, innovative, and timely HIV prevention research
with the highest ethical standards that aligns with the mission of CAPS. The landscape of the HIV epidemic is
changing rapidly, and there is a critical need for multi-disciplinary research to optimize recent and forthcoming
advances and to address new challenges in HIV prevention. Social and behavioral research is paramount to
the development, evaluation, and implementation of cutting-edge approaches to preventing HIV and its
consequences. In this innovative iteration of CAPS, the Developmental Core will coordinate a wide range of
resources and services that will (1) stimulate innovative, timely, high-impact, multi-disciplinary research that
addresses current and emerging issues in HIV prevention and treatment; (2) build the number, effectiveness,
and diversity of investigators trained to conduct high-impact HIV research; and (3) nurture a scientific
environment that fosters innovation, partnerships and interdisciplinary collaborations to address emerging
issues in the HIV epidemic. Examples of new directions proposed in this application are a reinvigoration of our
pilot grants program to include a Multi-Principal Investigator pilot grant mechanism to foster team science and
trans-disciplinary collaborations, an award for outstanding service to our robust internal peer review program,
and a new focus on increasing the effectiveness of mentors. Through careful coordination with the other CAPS
cores, the Developmental Core seeks to optimize the innovation and impact of HIV prevention science while
attracting, supporting, and retaining diverse new investigators dedicated to ending the HIV epidemic and
associated health and social disparities.
