Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Ideal candidates are people living with or at risk for HIV, and public health programs in priority jurisdictions seeking to implement proven interventions.
✕Less likely to help
Individuals in settings not participating in program implementation or outside priority jurisdictions may not directly benefit.
What this research studies
This grant supports a collaborative network between UW, NASTAD, and state/public health partners to push evidence-based HIV prevention, treatment, and response strategies into everyday programs. It focuses on implementation science—figuring out the best ways to deliver proven interventions at scale in real-world settings. The team will develop training, share methods, and provide technical support to jurisdictions as part of the Ending the HIV Epidemic goals. The work aims to identify practical levers, measure impact, and build capacity for sustained public health action.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, communities may see faster and broader adoption of proven HIV prevention and care strategies, leading to fewer new infections.
How similar studies have gone: Previous implementation science efforts have helped translate interventions into practice, but this Regional Consultative Hub aims to accelerate impact across multiple jurisdictions.
