DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This AIDS Intemational Research and Training Program (AITRP) proposal builds upon a long-standing partnership between Duke University Medical Center (DUMC) and Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Center (KCMC) in Moshi, Tanzania, and will complement and facilitate a growing number of collaborative research projects. The goals of this program are (1) to develop a "critical mass" of investigators capable of conducting state-of-the-art clinical, epidemiological, operational, biomedical, and behavioral HIV prevention and treatment research and (2) to build research infrastructure and provide research opportunities for a cadre of qualified researchers in Moshi. By bringing together the collective expertise of investigators in Duke's Human Vaccine Institute, the AIDS Clinical Trials Unit, and the Sanford Institute of Public Policy, and by augmenting training at the degree-based Clinical Research Training Program at Duke with other degree programs from the University of North Carolina School of Public Health and training in the various clinical research disciplines at Family Health International and facilitating "South-to-South" training opportunities within Africa, this AITRP will strengthen significantly the sustainability of HIV/AIDS research in Tanzania. To accomplish these goals, we propose a range of long-, medium-, and short-term training and research activities. Training opportunities will include: (a) Long-term (1-2 years) training in the U.S. focusing on biomedical, epidemiological, operational, and behavioral aspects of AIDS prevention and treatment for selected investigators; (b) Medium-term (3-6 months) training in the U.S. for health professionals in laboratory procedures and research techniques which directly support AIDS prevention and treatment research; (c) Short-term (3-6 weeks) regional training in sub-Saharan Africa for professionals, technicians, and other research staff. Research infrastructure work will include: (1) Continuing intellectual and logistical support for long-term trainees returning to Moshi with competitive re-entry research support and (2) Support to encourage qualified Duke and KCMC faculty to become involved in advanced research training activities relevant to Tanzanian research priorities. There is extraordinary commitment, capacity, and expertise in place at DUMC and KCMC to establish an AIDS International Training and Research Program, thereby enhancing HIV prevention and treatment research in Tanzania and in other resource-poor regions.

描述（由申请人提供）：这有助于建立在坦桑尼亚Moshi的杜克大学医学中心（DUMC）和乞力马扎罗基督教医学中心（KCMC）之间的长期合作伙伴关系的基础上，这是建立在坦桑尼亚杜克大学医学中心（DUMC）之间的长期合作伙伴关系的基础上的，将建立在坦桑尼亚的Moshi，并将补充并促进了越来越多的合作研究项目。该计划的目标是（1）开发能够进行最先进的临床，流行病学，运营，生物医学和行为HIV预防和治疗研究的研究人员的“临界质量”，以及（2）建立研究基础设施并为Moshi的合格研究人员提供研究机会。通过汇集杜克大学人类疫苗研究所，艾滋病临床试验部和桑福德公共政策研究所的集体专业知识，并通过在杜克大学的学位临床研究培训计划中加强培训，并在北卡罗来纳大学公共卫生学院的其他学位课程中与其他学位课程进行其他学位课程，并在各种临床研究方面进行了国际临床研究的培训，这是一个与众不同的培训，并在国际上训练了这一方面的培训。坦桑尼亚艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究的可持续性。为了实现这些目标，我们提出了一系列长期，中和短期培训和研究活动。培训机会将包括：（a）在美国的长期（1 - 2年）培训，重点关注艾滋病预防艾滋病的生物医学，流行病学，运营和行为方面； （b）在美国，在美国卫生专业人员的实验室程序和研究技术方面的中期（3-6个月）培训，这些专业人员直接支持预防和治疗研究； （c）撒哈拉以南非洲的短期（3-6周）区域培训，以针对专业人士，技术人员和其他研究人员。研究基础设施的工作将包括：（1）持续的智力和后勤支持，以返回有竞争力的重新进入研究支持的长期学员，以及（2）鼓励合格的杜克大学和KCMC教师参与与坦桑尼亚研究的优先事项相关的先进研究培训活动。 DUMC和KCMC拥有非凡的承诺，能力和专业知识，以建立艾滋病国际培训和研究计划，从而增强坦桑尼亚和其他资源贫乏地区的预防和治疗研究。
