Description

The goal of this initiative is to develop a patient-focused research resource center to support the work of the HIV/Justice Regional Research Hubs described in RFA-DA-24-105. The project will create a Patient Engagement Resource Center (PERC) that will partner with patients and others having lived experience with HIV, SUD, and the criminal legal system to form a research advisory/consultation model that can support the Regional Research Hub projects. In addition, the awardee will conduct original research to identify key access and utilization barriers to HIV/SUD services for individuals with criminal-legal involvement; and pilot test potential solutions. The overarching goal is to embrace user-centered design principles to inform both research and practice, in order to better engage populations involved in the criminal legal system in HIV and SUD prevention and treatment.
