The multidisciplinary T32 NIAAA training program focuses on alcohol and HIV infection.
The state of Florida currently ranks second in new HIV infections per year, and second in total HIV/AIDS cases in the US. Alcohol consumption contributes to poor HIV outcomes and to ongoing HIV transmission, and the relationships between alcohol consumption and HIV can vary by age, gender, ethnicity, and sexual orientation.
The T32 program ensures appropriate depth in knowledge regarding alcohol, HIV, and three additional focus areas that represent areas of strength in ongoing research at UF:
- Behavioral Intervention
- Cognitive Science
- Data Science
- Epidemiology
- Microbiome
- Mhealth
Specific aims of our training program are to:
- Deliver an academic curriculum
- Provide mentoring
- Ensure skills in communication of science
- Maximize professionalism and ethical conduct of research
The training program supports four pre-doctoral and two post-doctoral trainees at any time. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis based on availability of positions. Pre-doctoral trainees will be based in the following academic programs: Epidemiology, Biostatistics, Clinical and Health Psychology, Nursing Science, Health Education and Behavior, and the Interdisciplinary Program in Medicine.
