## Abstract

Implementation science (IS) plays an increasingly important role in the advancement of HIV research.
Inherently multidisciplinary, IS recognizes that healthcare systems often struggle to provide high quality
services with limited resources and offers a growing number of evidence-based strategies for incorporating
research investments in order to improve healthcare value and public health. Moving substantial investments in
HIV research into practice in rapid, rigorous, and relevant ways is critical. The UCLA Rapid, Rigorous, Relevant
Implementation Science Hub (UCLA 3R Hub) will provide ISC3I with IS expertise and, in coordination with the
other Hubs, meet the demand for effective and efficient ways to translate HIV research into practice. The
unique goal of the Hub is to provide leadership and support for rapid, rigorous, and relevant (3R) HIV-related
implementation research emphasizing pragmatic study designs and methods that address health equity and
produce sustainable solutions. We will reach this goal by accomplishing the following Specific Aims: 1) provide
consultation, coaching, and technical assistance to Ending the HIV Epidemic (EHE) grantees, with a focus on
cutting-edge 3R content, methods, strategies, models, theories, and frameworks; 2) accelerate HIV research
impacts by a) collaborating with ISC3I, the other Implementation Hubs, and IS consortia and centers and b)
identifying resources and opportunities for advancing evidence-based interventions through the implementation
pipeline; 3) provide and promote a platform for multidisciplinary collaborations in support of developing HIV-
related implementation research and supporting the next generation of diverse IS investigators; and 4) conduct
a cross-Hub multisite pilot implementation research project. EHE awardees assigned to the UCLA 3R Hub will
have access to individualized consultation, coaching, and technical assistance sessions; timely roundtable
feedback; IS methods workshops; expert discussion sessions; and access to lectures and resources that will
advance the application of IS concepts, theories, frameworks, and methods. Additionally, we will support
ISC3I's efforts to advance shared measures and frameworks across the projects and in the online community
of practice platform. The UCLA 3R Hub team has a strong history of and urgent commitment to using a health
equity lens and engaging and mentoring diverse investigators, including racial/ethnic and sexual/gender
minorities. Collectively, these activities and efforts will promote the research priorities of the EHE, thereby
enhancing HIV research and its impacts and applications in clinical care and public health more broadly.
