Theoretical Synthesis CoreBrief AbstractThe Theoretical Synthesis Core will serve as a resource to the Center, practitioners, and the internationalresearch community in terms of theoretical integration, training and development. We will provideinterdisciplinary-theory-based training and consultation to CDUHR staff who are developing researchproposals, analyzing data, writing papers and reports, or preparing intervention or policy plans. We will work todevelop new and useful ways to theorize processes and causal relationships within and across disciplines(including the fields of social sciences, behavioral research, epidemiology, infectious diseases, medicine andviral evolution) and levels of analysis that will help us understand and intervene in the epidemics of HIV andother infectious diseases among drug users and their communities. As we develop such theories, and as webecome aware of useful theoretical developments elsewhere in the field, we will disseminate them withinCDUHR and to local, national and international practitioners, affected populations, researchers and policymakers.
