MODEL COLLABORATION CENTER
(mCC)
A Global Resource Center Linking
Public Health Practice & Academia on
HIV and related STDs, TB & Viral Hepatitis |
|
Epidemiology Research & Training [HiSTHERT] |
|
|
|
|
The mCC is a mechanism through which the
iHASE virtual network of public health agencies' applied epidemiology
and disease intervention practitioners can develop collaboration with
academia and affected communities to incubate exemplary public health
solutions. For more information, click on "Purpose" on the menu above. |

Design, Conduct,
Interpretation, Summarizing/Reporting and Translation/Utilization (of Findings) of
Disease Intervention Epidemiology Research and Development
Studies:
- Disease Control &
Prevention Research: incl. population level research on biomedical
(vaccines and drugs), behavioral and social interventions; linkage of early case finding to prevention and
treatment/care for 'positives', e.g. voluntary counseling and
testing (VCT) and partner counseling and referral services (PCRS);
- Health Services Research:
Outcome evaluation of health intervention programs and health
service delivery systems [incl. scale-up of
HIV (& related disease) prevention and treatment (incl.
antiretrovirals) programs]; assessment of health service needs and
utilization; service gap analyses; assessment of health service
quality; etc;
|
- Statistics, Data
Management, and Information Technology Methods Support for Surveillance
(Disease Burden/Risk
Assessment) and Intervention Epidemiology Research &
Development Studies (incl. Outcome Evaluation and Health
Services Utilization/Service Gaps);
|
- Laboratory Support
for HIV Surveillance (Disease Burden/Risk
Assessment), Intervention Epidemiology (Interventions
Research &
Development Studies, incl. Vaccine, Drug, Outcome Evaluation and Health
Services Utilization/Service Gap Studies), and HIV Screening &
Diagnostics (Diagnostics Research &
Development Studies)
|
- Quality Assurance, Continuing Education,
and Research Participants Protections through
Peer-Review of Applied Epidemiology work on the above-listed core/focus areas (Peer-Reviewed Journal, Institutional Review
Board, etc)
