The proposed AIDS International Research and Training Program (AITRP) is the collaborative effort between the University of South Florida (USF) and the Vadodara Medical College (VMC), Gujarat, India. The purpose of this initiative is to strengthen and sustain, through collaborative research and training, the capability of Indian scientists to undertake HIV research and prevention efforts with a focus on youth infected and at risk for HIV. This multidisciplinary training program will include training in epidemiological, clinical, socio-behavioral, and prevention issues in HIV/AIDS. The research goals are to define the scope of the epidemic in youth in India including co-morbidities, and the unique social and cultural factors which impact this vulnerable population. Through mentored research the applicants will elucidate factors linked to HIV/AIDS acquisition and transmission to better understand, investigate, and control the HIV/AIDS epidemic among youth in India. They will define the unique biologic, developmental and immunologic aspects of adolescents in India which may impact treatment of HIV and its co-morbidities such as tuberculosis, malaria, hepatitis, substance abuses and mental health disorders. Training will include long-term masters level training in the US, intermediate-term certificate level training online to those in India, and short-term trainings both in India and the US. Training will be tailored to the needs of qualified Indian scientists, academicians, and health care professionals who have a strong commitment to HIV/AIDS research and/or prevention or who are currently working on HIV/AIDS health-related issues. The intermediate training is particularly targeted to reach a large number of Indian trainees and those who have work assignments that do not facilitate training outside India. This program will promote new HIV/AIDS research that complements and facilitates existing national and international research endeavors and establishes long-term collaborative relationships between US and Indian investigators.

拟议的艾滋病国际研究和培训计划（AITRP）是南佛罗里达大学（USF）和印度古吉拉特邦巴罗达医学院（VMC）之间的合作项目。该倡议的目的是通过合作研究和培训，加强和维持印度科学家开展艾滋病毒研究和预防工作的能力，重点关注感染艾滋病毒和面临感染艾滋病毒风险的青少年。这一多学科培训计划将包括艾滋病毒/艾滋病流行病学、临床、社会行为和预防问题的培训。研究目标是确定印度青少年中流行病的范围，包括合并症，以及影响这一弱势群体的独特社会和文化因素。 通过指导研究，申请人将阐明与艾滋病毒/艾滋病感染和传播相关的因素，以更好地了解、调查和控制印度青少年中艾滋病毒/艾滋病的流行。他们将定义印度青少年独特的生物学、发育和免疫学方面，这些方面可能会影响艾滋病毒及其合并症（如结核病、疟疾、肝炎、药物滥用和精神健康障碍）的治疗。 培训将包括在美国进行的长期硕士水平培训、在印度进行的中期证书水平在线培训以及在印度和美国进行的短期培训。培训将根据合格的印度科学家、院士和卫生保健专业人员的需求量身定制，他们坚定地致力于艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究和/或预防，或目前正在研究艾滋病毒/艾滋病健康相关问题。中级培训特别针对大量印度学员以及那些有不利于在印度境外培训的工作任务的人员。该计划将促进新的艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究，补充和促进现有的国家和国际研究工作，并在美国和印度研究人员之间建立长期合作关系。
