PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The substantial burden of mental illness in the Asia-Pacific threatens efforts to control regional HIV epidemics. There is an urgent need to increase research capacity in Asia-Pacific low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) for integrating HIV and mental health (MH), in order to generate the data needed to guide public health policies and improve clinical care and patient outcomes. CHIMERA (Capacity development for HIv and MEntal health Research in Asia) will be the region’s first HIV-MH implementation science research training program, and will be established through our existing LMIC research network, IeDEA Asia-Pacific. Importantly, the program meets the trans-NIH priorities to a) address HIV-associated comorbidities and complications, through the study of MH disorders and dementia; and b) support the cross-cutting areas of behavioral science, training, and information dissemination, through training in HIV, MH, and implementation science research that leverages innovative partnerships. The program also meets the Fogarty International Center’s Strategic Plan Goals by a) addressing the dual burdens of HIV and MH disorders; b) building research capacity while strengthening existing partnerships; c) stimulating the use of technology; and d) supporting implementation science research and training that can inform local health policies in LMICs. Under the leadership of amfAR’s TREAT Asia program in Thailand and with collaborators at Columbia University, the program will include 4 of our network’s partner institutions: 1) the National Centre for HIV, AIDS, Dermatology, and STDs with the National Program for Mental Health, Ministry of Health, Cambodia; 2) the University of Malaya Medical Centre, Malaysia; 3) the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine, Philippines; and 4) the Thai Red Cross AIDS Research Centre, Thailand. The research training program will recruit 16 Master’s and Doctoral-level candidates from these countries to participate in overlapping 36-month programs. The curriculum will combine in-person workshops, online seminars, local and remote mentorship, and specialized didactics through a program designed to be locally relevant for our youth- and key population-driven HIV epidemics. Program Fellows will learn to identify key implementation research questions, design and conduct studies that address how to integrate HIV and MH services and improve their delivery, write grant funding proposals to extend their research, and present and publish their work. They also will learn about informatics for research and public health, MH intervention theories, intervention adaptation, and methods of community engagement. By the end of the program, the research network will have a built a team of Asia-Pacific researchers with the capacity to lead a regional HIV-MH implementation science research agenda that will inform public health policy and improve the quality of clinical care. Program Leadership will be guided by experts and policymakers within the region through an external Training Advisory Committee and a Policy Advisory Committee to ensure achievement of training objectives and enhance the impact of our program.

项目摘要/摘要 在亚太地区的威胁努力控制区域艾滋病毒流行的努力中，精神疾病的大量燃烧。 迫切需要提高亚太低收入和中等收入国家的研究能力 （LMIC）用于整合艾滋病毒和心理健康（MH），以生成指导公众所需的数据 健康政策并改善临床护理和患者的结果。嵌合体（艾滋病毒和 亚洲心理健康研究）将是该地区的第一个HIV-MH实施科学研究培训 计划，并将通过我们现有的LMIC研究网络IEDEA亚太地区建立。 重要的是，该计划符合Trans-NIH优先事项a）解决与HIV相关的合并症和 并发症，通过研究MH疾病和痴呆症； b）支持 行为科学，培训和信息传播，通过艾滋病毒，MH培训和实施 利用创新伙伴关系的科学研究。该计划还符合Fogarty International a）通过解决艾滋病毒和MH疾病的双重伯恩斯的战略计划目标； b）建筑研究 能力同时加强现有伙伴关系； c）刺激技术的使用； d）支持 实施科学研究和培训可以为LMIC的当地卫生政策提供信息。在 AMFAR在泰国的AMFAR TEATS计划以及与哥伦比亚大学合作者的领导 计划将包括我们网络的4个合作伙伴机构：1）国家艾滋病毒，艾滋病，皮肤病学中心， 柬埔寨卫生部国家心理健康计划的性病； 2）大学 马来西亚马来亚医疗中心； 3）菲律宾热带医学研究所； 4） 泰国红十字会研究中心，泰国。研究培训计划将招募16个硕士和 来自这些国家的博士级候选人参加重叠的36个月计划。这 课程将结合面对面的研讨会，在线半货人，本地和远程精神训练以及专业 通过一项旨在与我们的青年和主要人口驱动的艾滋病毒相关的计划的教学法 流行病。计划研究员将学会确定关键的实施研究问题，设计和行为 研究如何整合艾滋病毒和MH服务并改善其交付，写赠款资金 提议扩展他们的研究，并介绍和发表他们的工作。他们还将了解信息 用于研究和公共卫生，MH干预理论，干预适应和社区方法 订婚。在计划结束时，研究网络将建立一个亚太地区的团队 有能力领导区域HIV-MH实施科学研究议程的研究人员 告知公共卫生政策并提高临床护理的质量。计划领导将由 该地区通过外部培训咨询委员会和政策的专家和政策制定者 咨询委员会确保实现培训目标并增强我们计划的影响。
