Innovative Administration of Long-Acting Injectables for HIV Treatment Enhancement at Home (INVITE-Home)
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention U01PS005259Sep 30, 2023 - Sep 29, 2027
Role: Co-Investigator and Project Director
Description: This study will support the expansion of long-acting injectable antiretroviral therapy (LAI-ART) in non-clinical settings by developing, implementing, and evaluating a comprehensive, theory-informed training intervention to support the administration of LAI-ART by a trained layperson injector (e.g., friend, family, partner identified by a person living with HIV). This study will address barriers to LAI-ART uptake and persistence, enhance real-world effectiveness, and help close critical HIV care gaps. |
Using Innovative Intervention Strategies (2iS) to Improve Health Outcomes among People with HIV - Evaluation Center (EC)
Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) HIV/AIDS Bureau - Division of Policy and Data (EAD) U90HA42154Aug 1, 2021 - Jul 31, 2025
Role: Project Director
Description: This initiative aims to use an implementation science framework to evaluate the pilot testing of innovative intervention and implementation strategies in four focus areas at subawardees sub-awarded through the companion cooperative agreement – 2iS Coordinating Center (CCTA) - and to disseminate the evaluation findings. The purpose of this four-year cooperative agreement is to develop and carry out a multi-site evaluation that includes a customized site-specific evaluation for each of the up to twenty implementation sites (i.e., subawardees). In addition to the site-specific components, the evaluation will include cross-site components that are consistent across all subawardee sites. Throughout this initiative, the 2iS EC will work closely with the 2iS CCTA, which will provide technical assistance to the subawardees. Ultimately, the 2iS EC’s evaluation findings will determine dissemination plans for the replication tools developed by the 2iS CCTA. Evaluation of initial, interim and final assessments and evaluations of the 2iS and implementation strategies used by subawardees will be in four focus areas focused on improving health outcomes: 1) for people with substance use disorder; 2) for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer (LGBTQ+) youth; 3) for people who are or have been incarcerated, and 4) by using telehealth services. |
