项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The International Traineeships in AIDS Prevention Studies Program (ITAPS) attracts trains and advances the careers of developing country scientists in HIV prevention research. ITAPS is one of three distinct training programs at the NIMH-funded Center for AIDS Prevention Studies (CAPS) and the primary training program of the CAPS International Core. Over the past 18 years, we have developed a unique, innovative and highly productive program in which a multidisciplinary group of visiting scholars comes to CAPS to participate in a 10- week Basic HIV Prevention Research Methods Training Program. Trainees focus on developing a behavioral or epidemiologic pilot research protocol for implementation in their home countries. Subsequently, we provide 8-week Scientific Writing Workshops for scholars who have completed data collection to write a scientific manuscript. To date, we have trained 150 visiting scholars from 39 countries. The research of our alumni has been broadly disseminated in peer-reviewed journals and at scientific conferences, and many alumni have taken public health and academic leadership positions in their home countries. We propose to build upon our existing program and introduce an innovative new training initiative to assist our most successful program alumni in securing independent research funding from the NIH. We will (1) continue to offer our basic research method course and scientific writing workshops; (2) create a new 10-month advanced research training course for our most successful alumni with a focus on producing fundable R-series or other grant proposals, and (3) continue to provide ongoing technical assistance to all program alumni with active research projects, scientific manuscripts and conference presentations. Specifically, we propose to host groups of ten scholars each in Years 01 and 04 who will attend our basic HIV prevention research methods course, and develop pilot research protocols for implementation in their home countries. In Years 02, 03 and 05, we will host groups of ten scholars each for scientific writing workshops. Finally we will recruit two highly promising visiting scholars per year for a 10-month advanced research training course focused on further study in research methods and grant development. The CAPS Center Grant (2006-11) is funded as a P-30 and provides infrastructure to support international research conducted by faculty, but does not provide funding for the ITAPS program. As in our current grant cycle, ITAPS has secured funding from other sources to cover travel and living expenses for short-term visiting scholars at CAPS. However, these sources specifically disallow use of funds to support faculty and administrative costs. In this application, we seek funds for faculty and administrative staff required for planning and teaching the ITAPS program, and providing ongoing mentoring and technical support of scholars. We also seek funding for travel and living expenses for two 10-month Advanced Research Traineeships in each grant year. The majority of the world's new cases of HIV and AIDS are in the developing world. The goal of this project is to raise the capacity of developing country scientists to conduct AIDS prevention research studies in their home countries. We will accomplish this goal by providing short-term training in research methods and scientific writing for developing country scientists at the University of California, San Francisco.

描述（由申请人提供）：艾滋病预防研究计划（ITAPS）的国际培训吸引了火车，并促进发展中国家科学家在艾滋病毒预防研究中的职业。 ITAPS是NIMH资助的艾滋病预防研究中心（CAPS）和CAPS International Core的主要培训计划的三个不同培训计划之一。在过去的18年中，我们制定了一个独特，创新且高产的计划，其中一组跨学科的访问学者群来参加CAPS参加10周的基本基本HIV预防艾滋病毒预防研究方法培训计划。学员致力于制定行为或流行病学试验研究方案，以在其本国实施。随后，我们为完成数据收集以编写科学手稿的学者提供了为期8周的科学写作讲习班。迄今为止，我们已经培训了来自39个国家 /地区的150名参观学者。我们校友的研究已在经过同行评审的期刊和科学会议上广泛传播，许多校友在其本国担任公共卫生和学术领导职务。我们建议以我们现有的计划为基础，并引入一项创新的新培训计划，以帮助我们最成功的计划校友从NIH获得独立的研究资金。我们将（1）继续提供我们的基础研究方法课程和科学写作讲习班；（2）为我们最成功的校友创建一个新的10个月高级研究培训课程，重点是生产可资金的R系列或其他赠款建议，（3）继续为所有计划的校友提供持续的技术援助，并通过积极的研究项目，科学的手稿和会议演讲。具体来说，我们建议在01年和04年中托管十个学者组成的小组，他们将参加我们的基本艾滋病毒预防研究方法课程，并制定在其本国实施的试点研究方案。在02、03和05年中，我们将举办十个学者组成的小组，分别为科学写作讲习班。最后，我们将每年招募两名高度有希望的访问学者，参加10个月的高级研究培训课程，重点是研究方法和赠款发展。 Caps Center Grant（2006-11）被资助为P-30，并提供了支持教师进行的国际研究的基础设施，但没有为ITAPS计划提供资金。与我们当前的赠款周期一样，ITAPS已从其他来源获得资金，以支付CAPS短期访问学者的旅行和生活费用。但是，这些来源专门禁止使用资金来支持教师和行政费用。在此应用程序中，我们为计划和教授ITAPS计划所需的教师和行政人员寻求资金，并为学者提供持续的指导和技术支持。我们还为每个赠款年份提供两个10个月的高级研究训练的旅行和生活费用资金。世界上大多数新的艾滋病毒和艾滋病病例都在发展中国家。该项目的目的是提高发展中国家科学家在其本国进行艾滋病预防研究的能力。我们将通过为加州大学旧金山分校的发展中国家科学家提供研究方法和科学写作的短期培训来实现这一目标。
