Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Latino individuals in Miami-Dade County affected by HIV/AIDS, substance use, violence/trauma, or mental health concerns may benefit from future research and interventions developed through this center.
✕Less likely to help
The administrative and training focus may not directly benefit any individual patient unless they participate in outreach or training activities.
What this research studies
This grant funds an Administrative Core that coordinates across partner institutions to help Latino communities in Miami-Dade access research opportunities, training for early-career investigators, and partnerships with community groups. It emphasizes implementation science to reduce SAVA+MH disparities (substance abuse, violence/trauma, HIV/AIDS, and mental health) among Latinos. The core collaborates with institutional programs and NIH-funded centers to build a sustainable health disparities research workforce. Activities include guiding the Investigator Development Core and the Community Engagement and Dissemination Core, and aligning efforts with the Center’s theme. The work is designed to create, support, and disseminate research that can later translate into improved care and services for Latino communities affected by HIV/AIDS and related conditions.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the center could strengthen community-engaged research and training, accelerating translation of HIV/AIDS and mental health interventions for Latinos.
How similar studies have gone: Previous centers with administration and investigator development cores have advanced implementation science and workforce development in disparities research, with varying levels of translation to practice.
