ABSTRACT The Vanderbilt-Nigeria Building Research Capacity in HIV/Non-communicable Diseases (NCDs) (`V-BRCH') program is a coordinated approach to build the capacity of Nigerian investigators to successfully initiate and implement high-quality clinical trials in HIV-associated NCDs. V-BRCH builds upon long-standing and highly successful collaborations between two leading research institutions in Nigeria and the United States - Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital (AKTH) and Vanderbilt University Medical Center. V-BRCH will solidify an atmosphere of continuous mentoring and skills acquisition for AKTH physician faculty in conducting clinical trials in HIV- associated NCDs via short- and medium- term learning opportunities, paired mentoring arrangements and mentored research projects (Aim 1). We will select three AKTH faculty members per year to attend the highly effective annual 1-month long Vanderbilt Institute for Research Development and Ethics (“VIRDE”) faculty enrichment program in Nashville. We will offer two 2-week, on-site workshops in Nigeria every year for physicians and research staff on HIV-associated NCD epidemiology, clinical trials methodology, and grant writing. We will identify research-oriented junior faculty staff (n=8) at AKTH for focused training in key areas of need and in clinical trials administration and regulatory oversight. Scholars will share best practices and lessons learned through mentoring panels, regular `Works in Progress' meetings, and monthly career development seminars. Competitive seed grants will be provided to mentor-mentee teams (n=10) to promote targeted in-country pilot studies focused on HIV-associated NCDs. For long-term training (Aim 2), we will support enhanced Master of Public Health (MPH) training at Bayero University/AKTH in Nigeria (total: 8 physicians) and Master of Science in Clinical Investigation (MSCI) at Vanderbilt for 2 Nigerian physician scientists. We will build institutional capacity in HIV-associated NCD clinical trials research via short-term regional courses, staff development workshops and MPH curriculum refinement (Aim 3). To take advantage of complementary courses, peer-to-peer group learning and research networking opportunities, V-BRCH will leverage training activities conducted by other FIC-funded training programs in Nigeria and sub-Saharan Africa (South-South collaborative opportunities). V-BRCH represents the culmination of years of collaboration in research and training between Vanderbilt and AKTH and will lay the foundation for sustainable development of clinical trials research focused on HIV-associated NCDs in Nigeria.

抽象的 范德比尔特尼日利亚建立艾滋病毒/非传染性疾病（NCDS）（“ V-BRCH”）的研究能力 计划是一种协调的方法，用于建立尼日利亚调查人员成功启动和 在与HIV相关的NCD中实施高质量的临床试验。 V-BRCH建立在长期和高度的基础上 尼日利亚和美国两个领先的研究机构之间的成功合作 - 阿米努 卡诺教学医院（AKTH）和范德比尔特大学医学中心。 V-Brch将巩固气氛 在进行HIV-进行临床试验的AKTH身体教师的持续心理和技能掌握 通过短期和中期学习机会，配对的心理安排以及 指导的研究项目（AIM 1）。我们将每年选择三名AKTH教师参加高度参加 有效的年度1个月长范德比尔特研究发展与道德研究所（“ Virde”）教师 纳什维尔的丰富计划。我们每年将在尼日利亚提供两个2周的现场研讨会 与HIV相关的NCD流行病学，临床试验方法和授予的医师和研究人员 写作。我们将在Akth的以研究为中心的初级教职员工（n = 8），以在关键领域进行培训 需求和临床试验管理和监管监督。学者将分享最佳实践， 通过心理面板，常规的“正在进行的工作”会议和每月职业的经验教训 发展中心。竞争性种子赠款将提供给心理群众团队（n = 10）以促进 针对性的国内试点研究集中于与HIV相关的NCD。对于长期培训（AIM 2），我们将 支持增强的公共卫生硕士（MPH）在尼日利亚的Bayero University/AKTH的培训（总计：8 范德比尔特（Vanderbilt 科学家。我们将通过短期来建立与HIV相关的NCD临床试验研究中的机构能力 区域课程，员工开发研讨会和MPH课程改进（AIM 3）。利用 互补课程，点对点小组学习和研究网络机会，V-BRCH将 利用尼日利亚其他FIC资助的培训计划和撒哈拉以南非洲进行的培训活动 （南南协作机会）。 V-BRCH代表了多年合作的高潮 范德比尔特和AKTH之间的研究和培训将为可持续发展奠定基础 临床试验研究的重点是尼日利亚与HIV相关的NCD。
