OVERVIEW

Implementation Science Hub – As one of the nine national Implementation Science hubs for the Ending the HIV Epidemic initiative, the Hopkins Hub provides technical assistance through coaching, group-based mentorship, training, and review to CFAR investigators, EHE awardees, health department officials, community stakeholders, and other HIV implementation science investigators. Led by Drs. Sheree Schwartz and Stefan Baral, the Hopkins Hub is funded by the NIH under the national EHE initiative. The Hub seeks to accelerate HIV prevention, diagnosis, and treatment strategies by providing mentoring and technical support to ongoing and future implementation science projects and investigators. We also offer mentorship and development opportunities through didactic training, applied learning activities, and intensive IS coaching. By expanding collaboration across the CFAR network and strengthening partnerships with Health Departments and community stakeholders, the Hopkins Hub is developing a collaborative network aimed at supporting the EHE agenda and NIH HIV/AIDS research priorities.
