DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Although the seroprevalence of HIV has declined in Uganda over the past 10 years, the HIV epidemic in Uganda is far from controlled. In the face of the HIV epidemic, tuberculosis rates are high and associated with significant mortality. With the advent of antiretroviral therapy, prevention strategies alone are no longer sufficient to meet the current needs in Uganda. There is now a moral imperative to bring the remarkable advances in the field of HIV to developing countries like Uganda. One key step in the rebuilding of the Ugandan public health infrastructure resulted from a unique collaboration between the Ugandan Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Defense and Makerere University to form the Joint Clinical Research Center (JCRC). The JCRC is a research and health care facility devoted entirely to HIV and leads the way in opening Africa to antiretroviral therapy. Through the years, the JCRC has formed strong collaborations with Case Western Reserve University (CWRU), the National Tuberculosis and Leprosy Control Programme (NTLP), Makerere and Mbarara Universities. The proposed training program will build on these strong relationships with the common mission of controlling HIV and TB. The goals of this training program are to expand the national capacity to address the public health and scientific challenges of the evolving HIV and TB epidemic in Uganda through clinical, operational and health services research. Through this training program Uganda will build the capacity to translate basic and clinical research findings into public health policy and interventions, and to evaluate their effectiveness. The training program will build on a growing number of clinical research projects on HIV and TB, but will extend the findings of these studies to the public health and policy arena. The goals will be met through a coherent program of degree and non-degree training in collaboration with CWRU, that will strengthen the capacity in Uganda to conduct integrated clinical, operational and health services research related to HIV and TB. The research training in this program will be linked to the ongoing research and program activities at the JCRC in Kampala, Uganda, CWRU, in the US, Mbarara University of Sciences and Technology, NTLP, Kampala City Council, CDC, USAID and Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric Foundation.

描述（由申请人提供）：尽管在过去的10年中，乌干达的艾滋病毒的血清阳性率下降，但乌干达的艾滋病毒流行远非受控。面对HIV流行，结核病率很高，并且与死亡率显着相关。随着抗逆转录病毒疗法的出现，仅预防策略就不足以满足乌干达当前的需求。现在，有一个道德上必须将艾滋病毒领域的显着进步带给乌干达等发展中国家。乌干达公共卫生基础设施重建的关键步骤是乌干达卫生部，国防部和马克塞雷大学组成联合临床研究中心（JCRC）的独特合作。 JCRC是一家完全致力于艾滋病毒的研究和医疗机构，并带领非洲开放抗逆转录病毒疗法。多年来，JCRC与Case Western Reserve University（CWRU），国家结核和麻风病控制计划（NTLP），Makerere和Mbarara大学建立了强有力的合作。拟议的培训计划将基于这些牢固的关系，以控制艾滋病毒和结核病的共同使命。该培训计划的目标是扩大国家通过临床，运营和卫生服务研究来应对乌干达不断发展的艾滋病毒和结核病流行的公共卫生和科学挑战的能力。通过这项培训计划，乌干达将建立将基本和临床研究结果转化为公共卫生政策和干预措施的能力，并评估其有效性。该培训计划将基于越来越多的艾滋病毒和结核病临床研究项目，但将把这些研究的发现扩展到公共卫生和政策领域。该目标将通过与CWRU合作的一致学位和非学位培训计划实现，这将增强乌干达进行与HIV和TB有关的综合临床，运营和卫生服务研究。该计划的研究培训将与坎帕拉，乌干达，CWRU的JCRC进行的研究和计划活动有关，美国姆巴拉拉科学大学，NTLP，NTLP，坎帕拉市议会，CDC，USAID，USAID和Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric Foundation。
