## Abstract

Project Summary: Prevention Science Core (Core C)
 The goal of the Prevention Science Core (Core C) is to advance research and interventions designed to
prevent new HIV infections and improve health equity in populations living with and at risk for HIV. Core C
contributes to Emory CFAR's mission by providing consultation, training, equipment, measures, and data that
enable investigators to develop highly innovative, impactful, rigorous, cost-effective HIV prevention research
and interventions. Core C activities will promote new OAR and NHAS priorities, and will include an increased
focus on strategies to support basic, translational, and implementation research that will reduce HIV incidence,
improve linkage to care and care outcomes, and achieve equity. We will enhance the Core's longstanding,
impactful focus on technologies that provide a cross-cutting platform to support research that improves -- and
documents improvements in -- HIV testing, medication adherence, and engagement in care. During the current
project period there has been strong growth in Core-supported research at Emory that addresses HIV-related
inequities, a vital strength for a Core located in the South. Core-supported research shows that characteristics
of “place” are strongly associated with HIV-related outcomes and with inequities in these outcomes. The Core
will help grow this research by expanding access to key data, tools, and consultation for research on place
characteristics, HIV-related outcomes, and inequities in these outcomes.
 Finally, Core C, working with the Developmental Core is committed to building on our achievements of
developing the next generation of HIV prevention researchers and maximizing the involvement of impacted
communities in shaping research and interventions. We will enhance these efforts in several ways in the next
grant cycle. New initiatives will include an HIV Prevention Proposal Writing Workshop for New Investigators
and partnering with other Emory CFAR cores to develop collaborations with investigators at Historically Black
Colleges and Universities and Hispanic Serving Institutions.
 In the next project period, we will advise researchers on strategies to implement high impact, rigorous,
reproducible HIV prevention research aligned with new OAR and NHAS priorities in domestic and international
settings. This will include strategies to incorporate biomedical and technology-based tools; create, and provide
training on how to use, cutting-edge measurement tools and technology platforms that support high impact,
high priority, HIV prevention research in domestic and international settings, including SurveyGizmo and
mobile data collection devices; expand online access to key assessment tools, geospatial data, and study
databases; and, train the next generation of HIV prevention science researchers, focusing particular attention
on those who are addressing the Southern HIV epidemic.
