1. Refine and deliver our established consultation and technical assistance program tailored to the needs and preferences of Ending the HIV Epidemic projects that consists of coaching and training on Implementation Science designs, frameworks, strategies, measures, outcomes, and community-academic partnerships.

2. Iterate and launch a multi-modal process for coordination between the Coordination, Consultation, and Data Management Center and the Implementation Science Hub to facilitate translation of local knowledge to generalizable knowledge.

3. Conduct a mixed-method evaluation of the impact of the San Diego CFAR IS Hub on proximal Ending the HIV Epidemic project and Hub outcomes (e.g., increased HIV investigator knowledge of Implementation Science methods; advancement of Implementation Science methods and tools; strengthened stakeholder engagement) and identify indicators of hub sustainment.

4. Strengthen collaborations with the Regional Implementation Science Hubs to develop, host, and evaluate a HIV Implementation Science mentoring program, Implementation Science methods training events, and multi-site implementation studies, and develop capacity-building resources.
