UC Communication Professor Receives Grant for Project Aiming to Reduce HIV Transmission
Professor of communication Stephen Haas UC University Research Council Grant Proposal was recently selected for funding at the maximum request amount, a total of $25,000.
The project, titled Empowering Decision-Making in Sexual Partner Selection to Reduce HIV Transmission, will be conducted through collaboration between Haas and Michael Lyons, director of the Early Intervention HIV Program for UCs College of Medicine.
Through the project, Haas and Lyons hope to find a solution for HIV prevention that involves: 1) assessing interpersonal strategies to aid communication among sexual partners that will reduce the spread of HIV, and 2) implementation of evolving trends in technology that empower patients by providing access to ones own health information.
Haas plans to use the grant to collect data over the summer for a larger National Institute of Health Grant Application.
