Social and Behavioral Sciences Core
The goal of the Social and Behavioral Sciences (SBS) Core is to support the DC CFAR mission to end the HIV epidemic and improve the health and quality of life of people living with HIV (PWH) in DC and beyond by advancing understanding of the ways in which social-structural factors continue to impede the health of PWH and disproportionately drive the acquisition of HIV among communities disproportionately affected by the HIV epidemic.
The Core provides opportunities for continuing education, training, and access to resources related to theory, methods, analyses, and social and behavioral research design. The Core also aims to facilitate the conduct of community-engaged research that is guided by, responsive to, and of benefit to diverse communities at the local, regional and national level. In this way, the Core ensures that DC CFAR research is innovative and has maximum potential for impact.
