Development Core
The Development Core seeks to improve the ability of HIV Center investigators, particularly those early in their career development, to initiate new programs of scientific investigation, produce scholarly publications, and address multi- and inter-cultural issues in research. The Development Core sponsors a pilot studies program, a manuscript writing workshop, and a publication award to a junior investigator or postdoctoral fellows. On an ongoing basis, the Core also provides an orientation to the HIV Center, grantsmanship training sessions and intercultural effectiveness programs. In addition, the Core enhances the capacity of HIV Center investigators to employ state-of-the-art information technology for data collection, outreach, and intervention and for scientific cooperation to advance the HIV Center's social and behavioral science research agenda.
Access to Development Core programs and services is limited to Investigators who have an affiliation with the HIV Center for Clinical and Behavioral Studies, particularly junior investigators. Please click on the menu to the right to read about services and activities.
Consultations
The DC staff is available for consultations any Monday during office hours (roughly from 11:00 a.m. - 2:30 p.m.). Junior Investigators are encouraged to schedule a meeting to discuss any issue related to their career development needs.
