The Synergy of Research and Practice
HIV prevention programs can increase the effectiveness of their work tremendously by gaining access to research findings. Similarly, prevention scientists must systematically incorporate community knowledge and expertise into their research to ensure maximum relevance and impact.
The Center of Excellence for Transgender HIV Prevention (CoE) brings cutting-edge HIV prevention strategies, science, and innovations directly to the providers who serve transgender individuals by:
- Synthesizing research and best practices
- Analyzing service gaps
- Identifying emerging trends
- Informing a community-based research agenda
