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）：性病和艾滋病毒研究原理年度课程于 1993 年首次举办，旨在深入概述从事性病/艾滋病毒领域研究职业所需的技能。自那时起，已有 600 多名学员参加，其中许多是女性或少数族裔/族裔。跨学科性传播疾病/艾滋病毒研究的重要性对于设计研究和获得资金至关重要。熟悉本学科之外的研究观点可以为年轻的研究者提供持续跨学科学习和合作的工具，并保持广泛的研究可能性。本课程通过对这些广泛学科的通用语言和技能进行实用的概述，为行为、临床、流行病学、统计和发病机制研究的入门培训提供了独特的机会。课程持续时间限制为两周，以鼓励正在积极从事研究事业的个人，并允许居住在当地以外的人参加。课程目标是： 1) 向年轻研究人员介绍 STD/HIV 领域的关键研究领域和问题； 2) 让研究人员接触进行科学和道德合理的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) 向学员介绍性病/艾滋病毒研究涉及的不同学科的基础知识，以促进研究合作； 4) 讨论成功竞争研究经费和发表作品的策略。该课程分为六个方向：1）性病/艾滋病跨学科研究要点； 2) 感染的临床和流行病学方面； 3）特定感染的发病机制； 4）行为研究方法论； 5）成功且符合道德的研究策略； 6) 生物统计分析中的关键主题。课程记录以两卷本的参考资料夹形式分发，其中包含演讲者的幻灯片和关键参考资料。在过去的几年中，该课程主要获得了 NIH STD 合作研究中心 (CRC) 的财政和师资支持。自 1998 年以来，CRC 每年都会为教师或学生提供差旅费支持。由于 STD CRC（现已指定为性传播感染和局部杀菌剂合作研究中心 (STI TM CRC)）目前正在竞争性更新，因此 2004 年课程的资金将无法通过该机制获得。为此，当前提案寻求通过R13机制获得等值资金。
