Objectives: Explore the implementation science (IS) questions related to upcoming innovations and existing challenges for adolescent HIV reflect on identified IS determinants, outcomes, and strategies from across the networks Objectives: Reflect on the small awards contribution to implementation science collaborations and capacity consider factors and opportunities related to sustainability and develop next steps for the Alliance. The forum expects to meet twice per year over two years, with meeting locations that rotate between the U.S. Forum participants will include NIH-funded scientists conducting relevant implementation research and in-country partners including PEPFAR in-country staff, key in-country government representatives, in-country research collaborators, and other stakeholders. The Alliance convenes a forum that enables the exchange of ideas, insights and experiences in understanding factors that drive uptake and adherence to adolescent HIV prevention and treatment strategies to bridge the gap between research, programs and policy. extend the reach and impact of implementation science related to adolescent HIV prevention and treatment.inform policymakers of promising evidence and encourage use of the data in decision making and.enable the research to be better informed by programmatic challenges and questions.provide a platform for cross-fertilization and exchange of ideas and information among implementation scientists and other stakeholders focusing on different aspects of HIV in adolescents.Office of the Global AIDS Coordinator and other NIH Institutes and Centers. TheĬenter for Global Health Studies at Fogarty launched the initiative in collaboration with the Adolescent HIV Prevention and Treatment Implementation Science Alliance (AHISA) aims to enhance the effective use of evidence and help overcome implementation challenges related to prevention, screening and treatment of HIV among adolescents (ages 15 to 24) in sub-Saharan Africa by catalyzing collaboration and communication among implementation scientists, program implementers and policymakers.
