ONGOING RESEARCH SUPPORT Using agent-based modeling to estimate the effectiveness of the Miami Getting to Zero HIV campaign (Escudero) Role on Project: Principal Investigator $636,255 Dates: February 22, 2018 February 21, 2023 Funder: National Institutes of Health (National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases) Project Identifier: K01-AI138863 Description: The proposed research seeks to use agent-based epidemiologic modeling to estimate the impact of the HIV elimination campaign in Miami, FL, termed Getting to Zero. The Miami metropolitan area is home to one of the most highly-burdened and growing HIV epidemics in the country, and results of this work will provide estimates for critical epidemiologic outcomes following implementation of the elimination campaign, as well as suggest the likelihood or timetable for the elimination of new infections. Estimating the effectiveness of the Miami Getting to Zero HIV campaign (Escudero) Role on Sub-Project: Principal Investigator $71,713 Dates: April 1, 2018 March 31, 2019 Funder: NIAID via Harvard Center for AIDS Research (CFAR) Project Identifier: P30-AI060354 (Walker) Description: The proposed research seeks to perform preliminary analyses, parameterization, and calibration needed to complete the objectives of a K01 proposal, with a goal to use agent-based modeling to estimate the effectiveness of the Miami Getting to Zero HIV campaign. The Miami metropolitan area is home to one of the most highly-burdened and growing HIV epidemics in the country, and results of this work will provide estimates for critical epidemiologic outcomes following implementation of the elimination campaign, as well as suggest the likelihood or timetable for the elimination of new infections. B. COMPLETED SUPPORT Program for AIDS clinical research training (Freedberg) Role on Project: Trainee $74,709 Dates: June 29, 2016 Feb 21, 2018 Funder: National Institutes of Health (National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases) Project Identifier: T32-AI007433 Description: This HIV T32 has three specific aims for its trainees: 1) To acquire a sufficient body of knowledge of quantitative methods to conduct independent research in: clinical epidemiology, clinical
trials, cost-effectiveness analysis, outcomes research, and/or implementation science. 2) To foster the creation of important scientific contributions with the close and longitudinal mentorship of program faculty. 3) To develop a primary research focus and a broad understanding of the various aspects of HIV disease for novel interdisciplinary research. Estimating the impact of acute-stage HIV transmission among drug users (Escudero) Role on Project: Principal Investigator $85,796 Dates: June 1, 2014 May 31, 2016 Funder: National Institutes of Health (National Institute on Drug Abuse) Project Identifier: F31-DA037808 Description: A study to estimate the contribution of acute-stage HIV transmission to total new HIV cases among drug users, and in doing so estimate the effects of prevention strategies on eliminating HIV transmission within this population.
