Summary
This summary is machine-generated.Supporting underrepresented minority (URM) scholars in HIV research is crucial. Programs like SOAR demonstrate URM scholars
Area Of Science
- Public Health
- Medical Research
- Health Equity
Background
- Undergraduate, underrepresented minority (URM) scholars require comprehensive support from the HIV workforce to advance future HIV research.
- URM scholars in undergraduate research programs are often deprioritized, underfunded, and underresourced.
- The Student Opportunities for AIDS/HIV Research (SOAR) program exemplifies the significant contributions of URM scholars to HIV and public health.
Purpose Of The Study
- To elaborate on the lived experiences and outcomes of alumni from an undergraduate HIV research program.
- To highlight the critical need for sustained support and succession planning for URM researchers in HIV.
- To advocate for the prioritization and adequate funding of undergraduate research enrichment programs for URM scholars.
Main Methods
- Commentary based on the lived experiences and outcomes of alumni from the SOAR program.
- Analysis of SOAR program's impact on student placement, conference presentations, and publications.
- Qualitative insights into the challenges and successes of URM scholars in HIV research.
Main Results
- SOAR students and alumni achieved 95% placement in graduate programs (Masters, Doctoral, Professional).
- SOAR participants delivered 100 conference presentations and contributed to 34 publications within three years.
- The program demonstrates a high success rate for URM scholars in advancing their research careers.
Conclusions
- Comprehensive support, including critical health equity curriculum, multidirectional mentorship, and paid labor, is essential for URM scholar success and retention in HIV research.
- Sustainable succession planning is necessary to ensure the continued advancement of HIV research and programming.
- Urgent action is required to support the next generation of HIV researchers; inaction is not an option.

Any experiment involving the participation of human subjects is governed by extensive, strict guidelines designed to ensure that the experiment does not result in harm. Any research institution that...
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are diseases transmitted primarily through unsafe sexual interactions. Bacteria, viruses, or parasites cause them and can result in severe health complications if untreated.ChlamydiaThe bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis is responsible for the disease Chlamydia, the most common STI in the United States. This peculiar pathogen requires human cells to reproduce, residing intracellularly. The initial infection often goes unnoticed because it typically does not...
The World Health Organization (WHO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations based in Geneva. The WHO has many initiatives that center around health. Primarily, they lead global efforts to expand universal health coverage using science-based policies and programs. They are also responsible for shaping health research agendas and developing norms and standards.
The WHO provides expert team support, including funding, vaccines, testing, and treatment tools at the country level to fight...
Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...
