ABSTRACT HIV infection continues to take a severe toll on Mozambique, which underscores the need for investments in building research capacity to help combat the epidemic. To address this need, we propose to establish the University of Pittsburgh (Pitt)-Mozambique HIV Research Training Program (Pitt-MozHRTP). The purpose of the program is to build research capacity at two sister institutions of the Mozambique National Institute of Health: the Polana Caniço Health Research Center (CISPOC) in Maputo, the capital city, and the Beira Operations Research Center (CIOB), which is in the port city of Beira in central Mozambique. CISPOC and CIOB both have growing HIV research portfolios and a commensurate need for increased research capacity. The research focus of our program is COVID-19, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes in people with HIV (CCD-PWH), all areas of enormous clinical and public health importance. Pitt-MozHRTP training sites will be at Pitt and the University of Stellenbosch (SU) in Cape Town, South Africa. The program will be directed by Dr. Lee Harrison at Pitt; Dr. Edna Viegas, who is responsible for overseeing research at CISPOC; and Dr. Jean Nachega at SU. A broad array of degree (both PhD and master's) training opportunities will be available in epidemiology and biostatistics, and laboratory sciences. In addition, we will offer post-doctoral fellowships for exceptional candidates who have recently completed their doctoral training. We will also use workshops conducted at CISPOC to augment research capacity at both CISPOC and CIOB. The program includes a multidisciplinary group of experienced mentors and excellent training opportunities at each site. Each trainee will have at least two mentors, one in Mozambique and another at the training site. The inclusion of SU provides substantial opportunities for “south-to-south” training between Mozambique and neighboring South Africa. In addition, the more experienced CISPOC will assist in building research capacity at CIOB. Trainees will have access to all the substantial resources of the participating institutions. Over the five-year funding period, we plan to train 6 masters students, 3 PhD students, and 5 post-doctoral fellows. In addition, ten trainees will attend the Johns Hopkins Graduate Summer Institute of Epidemiology and Biostatistics and we will conduct nine workshops at CISPOC. In summary, the Pitt-MozHRTP will make major contributions to building research capacity in the area CCD-PWH in Mozambique by providing a broad array of exceptional training opportunities.

抽象的 艾滋病毒感染继续给莫桑比克造成严重损失，这凸显了投资的必要性 为了帮助应对这一流行病，我们建议建立研究能力。 匹兹堡大学（Pitt）-莫桑比克艾滋病毒研究培训计划（Pitt-MozHRTP）的目的。 该计划旨在建设莫桑比克国家研究所的两个姐妹机构的研究能力 健康：位于首都马普托和贝拉的波拉纳卡尼索健康研究中心 (CISPOC) 运筹学中心（CIOB），位于莫桑比克中部港口城市贝拉。 CIOB 的艾滋病毒研究项目不断增加，并且相应地需要提高研究能力。 我们项目的研究重点是 HIV 感染者的 COVID-19、心血管疾病和糖尿病 (CCD-PWH)，所有具有巨大临床和公共卫生重要性的领域都将位于 Pitt-MozHRTP 培训地点。 皮特和南非开普敦斯泰伦博斯大学 (SU) 该项目将由皮特博士指导。 皮特大学的 Lee Harrison；负责监督 CISPOC 研究的 Edna Viegas 博士和 Jean 博士； 苏的纳切加将提供广泛的学位（博士和硕士学位）培训机会。 此外，我们还将为流行病学和生物统计学以及实验室科学提供博士后奖学金。 最近完成博士培训的优秀候选人我们还将举办研讨会。 在 CISPOC 进行，旨在增强 CISPOC 和 CIOB 的研究能力。 每个地点都有经验丰富的导师组成的多学科团队和良好的培训机会。 将有至少两名导师，一名在莫桑比克，另一名在培训现场。 为莫桑比克与邻国南方之间的“南南”培训提供大量机会 此外，经验丰富的 CISPOC 将协助 CIOB 学员的研究能力建设。 将在五年内获得参与机构的所有大量资源。 期间计划培养硕士研究生6名，博士生3名，博士后5名。 学员将参加约翰霍普金斯大学流行病学和生物统计学研究生夏季研究所，我们 将在 CISPOC 举办九场研讨会 总之，Pitt-MozHRTP 将为以下方面做出重大贡献。 通过提供广泛的特殊项目，建设莫桑比克 CCD-PWH 领域的研究能力 培训机会。
