Strengthening behavioral and social science research capacity to address overlapping stigma, social and psychological challenges among people with HIV in Uganda: Implications for US and Global - Modified Project Summary/Abstract Section HIV remains a major US public health concern, with approximately 1.2 million Americans living with HIV, driven by overlapping behavioral, structural, and social factors that parallel those in Uganda, making Uganda a strategically valuable setting for HIV behavioral and social science research (BSSR) training. Training in-country scientists across HIV prevention, treatment, and care generates evidence on stigma, care engagement, and psychosocial factors that directly inform intervention strategies for US populations with the highest HIV burden. During the initial five years, with NIH/FIC support, Makerere University, in collaboration with UCSF, UC Berkeley, NYU, and Yale, trained 31 BSSR trainees in HIV (5 PhDs, 15 master's, 11 non-degree fellowships), some of whom now serve as in-country collaborators on NIH-funded studies, contributing to data generation, implementation, and peer-reviewed outputs that strengthen the US and global HIV evidence base. The proposed BSSR program advances US public health priorities through four objectives: 1) expand the program focus to include overlapping stigma and psychosocial challenges among PLWH, generating evidence that directly informs intervention strategies for high HIV burden US communities; 2) strengthen organizational capacity and increase scientific leadership for independent BSSR by prioritizing PhD and postdoctoral training, developing investigators who actively contribute to NIH-funded studies and advance US-relevant science; 3) expand program breadth to include BSSR capacity strengthening for two less well established Ugandan universities, increasing the scale and range of field sites and populations available to US-funded research and improving generalizability of findings to rural US populations; and 4) establish a BSSR Unit within the Child Health and Development Centre at Makerere University School of Medicine, providing the institutional infrastructure needed to sustain US-Ugandan BSSR collaboration and the regulatory, data, and community engagement systems upon which future US HIV research investments depend. Unlike other training programs in Uganda, this program focuses explicitly on HIV BSSR, and will train 4 postdoctoral, 5 PhD, 5 master's, and 6 non-degree fellowship candidates through active US faculty partnerships, equipping them to serve as in-country collaborators on NIH and other US-funded studies and generate the behavioral and social science evidence that US investigators need to strengthen interventions for high HIV burden US populations.
