DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Annual Course on Principles of STD and HIV Research was first held in 1993 to provide an intensive overview of skills needed to pursue a research career in the field of STD/HIV. Since then, over 600 trainees, many of whom were women or racial/ethnic minorities, have attended. The importance of cross-disciplinary STD/HIV research has become essential in designing studies and in obtaining funding. Establishing familiarity with research perspectives outside one's own discipline provides young investigators with tools for continued interdisciplinary learning and collaboration, and for maintaining a broad scope of investigative possibilities. This course offers a unique opportunity for introductory training in behavioral, clinical, epidemiologic, statistical and pathogenesis research by providing a practically oriented overview of language and skills common to these broad disciplines. Course duration is limited to two weeks to encourage individuals who are establishing active research careers and allow those who reside outside of the local area to attend. Course objectives are to: 1) Introduce young investigators to critical research areas and questions in the field of STD/HIV; 2) Expose investigators to research techniques and tools needed to conduct scientifically and ethically sound studies, including study design, experimental approach, development of instruments for data collection, human subjects considerations, and data analysis; 3) Introduce trainees to fundamentals of different disciplines involved in STD/HIV research in order to foster research collaborations; and 4) Discuss strategies for successfully competing for research funds and publishing one's work. The course integrates six tracks: 1) Essentials of STD/HIV interdisciplinary research; 2) Clinical and epidemiologic aspects of infections; 3) Pathogenesis of specific infections; 4) Methodology of behavioral research; 5) Strategies for successful and ethical research; and 6) Critical topics in biostatistical analysis. The course proceedings are disseminated in a two-volume reference binder containing speakers' slides and key references. In past years, the course derived financial and faculty support primarily from the NIH STD Cooperative Research Centers (CRC). Since 1998, the CRCs have each annually contributed in the form of travel support for faculty or students. Because the STD CRCs, now designated the Sexually Transmitted Infections and Topical Microbicides Cooperative Research Centers (STI TM CRCs), are currently up for competitive renewal, funding for the 2004 course will not be available through that mechanism. For this reason, the current proposal seeks to obtain equivalent funding through the R13 mechanism.

描述（由申请人提供）：关于STD和HIV研究原理的年度课程，于1993年首次举行，以概述从事STD/HIV领域的研究职业所需的技能。从那时起，有600多名妇女或种族/少数民族的学员参加了会议。跨学科性病/HIV研究的重要性对于设计研究和获得资金至关重要。建立熟悉自己学科之外的研究观点的熟悉，为年轻的研究人员提供了持续跨学科学习和协作的工具，并保持了广泛的调查可能性范围。本课程为行为，临床，流行病学，统计和发病机理研究提供了一个独特的机会，通过提供了对这些广泛学科常见的语言和技能的概述，从而提供了一个独特的机会。课程持续时间仅限于两周，以鼓励那些正在建立积极研究职业的个人，并允许居住在当地以外的人参加。课程目标是：1）将年轻的研究人员介绍性病/艾滋病毒领域的关键研究领域和问题； 2）将研究人员暴露于进行科学和道德上合理研究所需的研究技术和工具，包括研究设计，实验方法，数据收集工具的开发，人类受试者的考虑和数据分析； 3）向受训者介绍了涉及性病/艾滋病毒研究的不同学科的基础知识，以促进研究合作； 4）讨论成功争夺研究基金并发布工作的策略。该课程集成了六个曲目：1）STD/HIV跨学科研究的要点； 2）感染的临床和流行病学方面； 3）特定感染的发病机理； 4）行为研究方法； 5）成功和道德研究的策略； 6）生物统计分析中的关键主题。该课程程序以两卷参考的活页夹传播，其中包含扬声器的幻灯片和关键参考。在过去的几年中，该课程主要来自NIH STD合作研究中心（CRC）的财务和教师支持。自1998年以来，CRC每年都以对教师或学生的旅行支持形式做出贡献。因为现在指定性传播感染和局部菌皮化合物合作研究中心（STI TM CRC）的STD CRC目前正在竞争续订，因此对于2004年课程的资金将无法通过该机制获得。因此，当前的提案试图通过R13机制获得同等资金。
