This document summarizes a presentation about evidence-informed decision making and the role of intermediaries. It discusses how decisions are influenced by various factors and defines evidence-informed decision making. It also presents models depicting how research is translated into action. The presentation then focuses on a study conducted in Kenya on the role of academic knowledge brokers in linking research to policy. The study used social network analysis to map networks between universities and government. It identified common attributes of knowledge brokers, including experience and strong interactive skills. Finally, it discusses various strategies knowledge brokers use to engage with policymakers and provides recommendations to strengthen these relationships.

The document discusses the benefits of drafting your own budget and budget justification, which includes helping to organize your thoughts for the project, acting as scaffolding for the technical methods section, and providing immediate feedback to avoid going over budget caps before the submission deadline. It provides tips for creating a to-do list and sample spreadsheet to develop the budget as you work on the technical narrative. Drafting your own budget gives you a sense of control over the process and helps ensure consistency between the technical proposal, budget, and justification.
Burden of HIV and Research Gaps Among Key Populations in Sub-Saharan AfricaHopkinsCFAR
油
Key populations including sex workers, men who have sex with men, and people who inject drugs experience disproportionately high HIV burdens in sub-Saharan Africa due to various biological, behavioral, and structural factors. HIV prevalence among female sex workers ranges from 10.9% in Eastern Europe to 36.9% in sub-Saharan Africa, where sex workers are 12 times more likely to be infected than other women. Men who have sex with men also experience high HIV prevalence, though data remains limited in sub-Saharan Africa. Combination prevention approaches including behavioral, biomedical, and structural interventions are needed to address the outsized impact of HIV on key populations.
Ongoing Research Studies at the Moore ClinicHopkinsCFAR
油
The Moore Clinic is currently conducting various IRB-approved research studies, including a survey on the quality of life among HIV-infected women undergoing menopause and a study evaluating American ginseng for fatigue in HIV-infected individuals. The SHARE study is recruiting healthy men with or without HIV to contribute to ongoing research without experimental medicine, offering various reimbursements for participation. Additionally, the HOORAH study provides an opportunity for individuals to improve their health by receiving free counseling and medication for alcohol reduction.
The document discusses using regression for association testing and prediction. It provides an example analyzing factors associated with memory scores in HIV patients. A linear regression found larger household size was associated with higher memory scores when controlling for age and clinic. This provides evidence that household size may contribute to memory loss in HIV patients. The document also discusses using regression for prediction, comparing models, and measures for predictive accuracy like AUC.

Construction of an Implementation Science for Scaling Out Interventions HopkinsCFAR
油
This document discusses the construction of implementation science for scaling out interventions. It begins by illustrating the use of team science and practice networks in implementation research. It then discusses adding the concept of scaling out to the traditional research pipeline for implementation, which involves transporting evidence-based interventions to new service delivery systems and contexts. Two options for research and practice involving scaling out are presented: a static model which focuses on strict adherence to programs, and a dynamic model which allows for planned adaptation. The document argues for the dynamic model and discusses approaches like ADAPT-ITT and the dynamic adaptation process for evaluating interventions during the scaling out process. It emphasizes the need to evaluate both implementation and effectiveness when scaling out.
The document discusses Management Information Systems (MIS). It defines MIS as the study of people, technology, organizations, and the relationships between them. The goal of MIS is to help organizations realize maximum benefit from investments in personnel, equipment, and business processes. MIS uses information systems at all levels of businesses to collect, process, store, and disseminate data needed for daily operations and strategic decision making. The document also discusses typical career paths for MIS professionals and the traits that make someone well-suited for a career in MIS.
