population-level assessment ( Public Health Surveillance) of disease
burden, risk and outcomes; conduct applied Epidemiologic research
on HIV interventions (biomedical, behavioral and social) and services;
conducting applied HIV Epidemiology in-service training; and conducting
quality assurance of applied HIV Epidemiology work and continuing
education through peer-review.
