项目摘要

The Specific Aims of Core I are: 1) To educate, train and mentor investigators from Botswana and Penn interested in global health research; and 2) To advance knowledge about HIV/AIDS and its complications in Botswana by performing high quality epidemiologic and patient-oriented research. Penn has developed strong clinical and educational programs in Botswana based primarily on PEPFAR funding, which provides the clinical base for our research. The Core provides the following services: i) Advising Penn investigators on the feasibility of studies proposed for Botswana; ii) Providing on-site supervision of research nurses and technicians; iii) Assisting with informed consent at the Ministry of Health, Botswana hospitals and Penn; iv) Collecting and processing samples for testing, storage or shipping; v) Providing office space and Internet for Core personnel; vi) Providing housing for Penn investigators while working in Botswana; and vii) Identifying collaborators at the University of Botswana and the Ministry of Health to work with Penn scientists, which is consistent with our goal of building research capacity in country. During the past 4 years, we helped the University of Botswana get its first-ever NIH grant; Penn CFAR investigators obtained 6 CFAR Developmental Grants for studies in Botswana; Penn scientists obtained 2 Doris Duke Foundation Awards, including a 5-year medical student research fellowship grant; and we obtained Gates-Merck Foundation funding for HIV-TB education, prevention and treatment of health care workers in Botswana. Currently, the Core is supporting 19 studies in Botswana. In the next funding cycle we will expand our research office and laboratory infrastrucute through construction of a building in collaboration with the Ministry of Health and the University of Botswana School of Medicine; we will expand our research agenda in the areas of opportunistic infections, HIV-TB co-infections, adherence to therapy, HIV prevention, and cervical cancer in HIV infected women. Core I has enhanced the capabilities of Penn and Botswana investigators to do high quality global health research that is addressing issues that are relevant to the citizens of Botswana.

核心 I 的具体目标是： 1) 教育、培训和指导来自博茨瓦纳和宾夕法尼亚大学的研究人员对全球健康研究感兴趣； 2) 增进对艾滋病毒/艾滋病及其并发症的了解博茨瓦纳通过开展高质量的流行病学和以患者为导向的研究。佩恩开发了博茨瓦纳强大的临床和教育项目主要基于总统紧急救援计划 (PEPFAR) 资金，该项目提供我们研究的临床基础。核心提供以下服务： i) 为宾夕法尼亚大学调查人员提供建议关于为博茨瓦纳提议的研究的可行性； ii) 对研究护士进行现场监督和技术人员； iii) 协助卫生部、博茨瓦纳医院和宾夕法尼亚大学获得知情同意；四）收集和处理样品以进行测试、储存或运输； v) 提供办公空间和互联网核心人员； vi) 为宾夕法尼亚大学调查人员在博茨瓦纳工作期间提供住房；和 vii) 识别博茨瓦纳大学和卫生部的合作者与宾夕法尼亚大学的科学家合作，符合我们建设国家研究能力的目标。在过去的4年里，我们帮助了博茨瓦纳大学获得第一笔 NIH 资助；宾夕法尼亚大学 CFAR 调查员获得 6 CFAR 博茨瓦纳研究发展补助金；宾夕法尼亚大学科学家获得 2 项多丽丝·杜克基金会奖，包括为期 5 年的医学生研究奖学金补助金；我们获得了盖茨-默克基金会为博茨瓦纳卫生保健工作者的艾滋病毒结核病教育、预防和治疗提供资金。目前， Core 支持博茨瓦纳的 19 项研究。在下一个资助周期中，我们将通过建设扩大我们的研究办公室和实验室基础设施与卫生部和博茨瓦纳大学医学院合作建造一座大楼；我们将扩大在机会性感染、HIV-TB 合并感染、依从性等领域的研究议程艾滋病毒感染妇女的治疗、艾滋病毒预防和宫颈癌。核心 I 增强了宾夕法尼亚大学和博茨瓦纳研究人员开展高质量全球卫生工作的能力正在解决与博茨瓦纳公民相关的问题的研究。
