DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Infection with HIV has had its most devastating impact on the health of people in sub-Saharan Africa. The burden of HIV and its associated opportunistic infections, particularly TB, is so great that many of the advances in health that have been made are being rapidly eroded. Indicators such as infant mortality and life expectancy show the rapid decline in health status brought about by HIV .In developed countries research has long been recognized as an essential component of development. The resources in developing countries are, however, limited and research is not afforded high priority. Improvements in conditions for research and increased opportunities for researchers to develop their skills is essential for the development of Africa, and this is particularly true in health. This programme will develop both informal and academic frameworks to enable young African scientists to improve their research capacity to a level where they can design, implement and report on meaningful and relevant research. The BRTI has already committed resources to training in health. and has attracted over 300 scientists, technologists and clinicians from 23 countries in Africa to 36 training courses in the past 5 years. The BRTI has also provided a research environment for 21 post-graduate students in Zimbabwe, and has the capacity through interaction in 16 current HIV/TB research topics to attract more. This proposal intends to develop a programme of informal courses that are relevant across a broad range of health research activities. Specific training courses in HIV and TB can be used towards a proposed MSc in either Biomedical Research or Clinical Research. Having achieved these qualifications. support will be given for students to carry out clinical, epidemiological. clinical and laboratory based research. A support framework for clinicians completing M. Med and M.D. programmes will be designed. The BRTI will work closely with local and international collaborators in the development of these programmes.

描述（由申请人提供）：艾滋病毒感染对撒哈拉以南非洲人民的健康影响最大。艾滋病毒的负担及其相关的机会感染，尤其是结核病，是如此之大，以至于许多健康的进步正在迅速受到侵蚀。婴儿死亡率和预期寿命等指标表明，艾滋病毒带来的健康状况迅速下降。在发达国家研究一直被认为是发展的重要组成部分。但是，发展中国家的资源是有限的，研究没有高度优先。改善研究条件和研究人员发展技能的机会增加对非洲发展至关重要，在健康中尤其如此。该计划将开发非正式和学术框架，以使年轻的非洲科学家能够将其研究能力提高到可以设计，实施和报告有意义和相关研究的水平。 BRTI已经致力于健康培训。在过去的5年中，已经吸引了来自非洲23个国家的300多家科学家，技术人员和临床医生，达到了36个培训课程。 BRTI还为津巴布韦的21名研究生提供了研究环境，并具有通过互动的能力，目前有16个HIV/TB研究主题吸引更多。该提案旨在制定一项非正式课程计划，这些课程在广泛的健康研究活动中相关。在生物医学研究或临床研究中，可以将艾滋病毒和结核病的特定培训课程用于拟议的MSC。获得了这些资格。将为学生提供支持，以进行临床流行病学。基于临床和实验室的研究。将设计一个完成M. Med和M.D.计划的临床医生的支持框架。 BRTI将与本地和国际合作者紧密合作，以开发这些计划。
