DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The UCLA/South African Trauma Training Research (Phodiso) Program seeks five additional years of funding to prepare future investigators to conduct research on trauma exposure and injury prevention in the context of South Africa's high levels of interpersonal and community violence and intentional injuries. The Phodiso Program is an international collaboration between UCLA and the South African Research Consortium (SARC), which includes the Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC), North-West University (NWU), and University of Cape Town (UCT) and is based on three NIH-funded projects: 1) The Eban Project, a randomized clinical trial testing a culturally congruent intervention for HIV serodiscordant African American couples (R01; 2001-2011); 2) The Aftermath of Rape Among South African Women (The Fulufhelo Project), a study examining the short and long-term psychosocial sequelae of rape among South African women (R03; 2009-2012); and 3) The HIV/AIDS Translational Training Program (HATT) for racial and ethnic minority postdoctoral Scholars and early career investigators interested in studying HIV/AIDS, mental health and substance abuse and associated co-morbid disparities (R25; 2009-2011). Guided by ecological and social learning theories, the focus of the Phodiso Scholar's research will be to minimize the negative health and mental health effects of trauma exposure, specifically depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), in South Africa. Developed over the past five years, our multidisciplinary training program proposes to expand to investigate and train on biologic and genetic markers and mediators of stress and thus, to be a more comprehensive biobehavioral trauma training program. During the initial funding period, eight scholars were trained and will now compose the Technical Advisory Group (TAG). For this renewal, the UCLA and SARC core faculty and TAG will conduct a countrywide application process to select one early career research candidates per year for a two-year postdoctoral fellowship. Scholars will receive research mentorship including a quarter of study (i.e., a 3-month period) at UCLA, one selection and planning meeting and one short-term trauma workshop each year in South Africa. Scholars will conduct their own research projects in South Africa as a basis for future studies in this field, as well as work closely with their SARC host university and TAG mentors. The Phodiso Trauma Training program and the research careers of the scholars will be tracked over time. Specifically, the sustainability of the training program and integration into academic, private, and government-supported agencies and the Scholar's ability to establish and sustain independent research careers will be evaluated and documented. Future goals will include encouraging the South African government to support, endorse and adopt the Phodiso program as a successful and replicable model of cross-cultural trauma research training. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The UCLA/South African Trauma Training Research (Phodiso) Program seeks five additional years of funding to prepare future investigators to conduct research on trauma and injury exposure in the context of South Africa's high levels of interpersonal and community violence and intentional injuries. As an international collaboration between UCLA and the South African Research Consortium (SARC), which includes the Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC), North-West University (NWU), and University of Cape Town (UCT), Phodiso's public health mission is to: 1) Increase the number of well-trained South African trauma researchers; 2) Translate research findings to culturally congruent trauma and injury prevention and treatment programs and; 3) Facilitate building of community capacity and infrastructure that benefit the people of South Africa.

描述（由申请人提供）：UCLA/南非创伤培训研究（Phodiso）计划寻求五年的资金，以准备未来的调查人员在南非高水平的人际交往和社区暴力和有意伤害的情况下对创伤暴露和预防创伤的研究进行研究。 The Phodiso Program is an international collaboration between UCLA and the South African Research Consortium (SARC), which includes the Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC), North-West University (NWU), and University of Cape Town (UCT) and is based on three NIH-funded projects: 1) The Eban Project, a randomized clinical trial testing a culturally congruent intervention for HIV serodiscordant African American couples （R01; 2001-2011）; 2）南非妇女强奸的后果（Fulufhelo Project），该研究研究了南非妇女中强奸的短期和长期社会心理后遗症（R03; 2009-2012）； 3）艾滋病毒/艾滋病转化培训计划（HATT）针对种族和少数民族的博士后学者以及有兴趣研究艾滋病毒/艾滋病，心理健康和药物滥用以及相关的合并差异的早期职业研究人员（R25; 2009-2011）。在生态学和社会学习理论的指导下，Phodiso Scholar的研究的重点将是最大程度地减少南非创伤暴露的负面健康和心理健康影响，特别是抑郁症和创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）。在过去的五年中，我们的跨学科培训计划提出了扩展，以扩大调查和培训压力的生物学和遗传标记和介体，因此成为更全面的生物行为创伤训练计划。在最初的资金期间，培训了八个学者，现在将组成技术咨询小组（TAG）。为此，加州大学洛杉矶分校和SARC核心教师和TAG将进行全国范围的申请程序，每年选择一个早期的职业研究候选人，以进行两年的博士后奖学金。学者将获得研究指导，包括在UCLA举行的四分之一的研究（即3个月），一次选择和计划会议以及每年在南非举行的一个短期创伤研讨会。学者将在南非开展自己的研究项目，以此作为该领域未来研究的基础，并与SARC主办大学和标签指导者紧密合作。 Phodiso创伤培训计划和学者的研究职业将随着时间的流逝而进行。具体而言，将评估和记录培训计划和整合到学术，私人和政府支持的机构以及学者建立和维持独立研究职业的能力的能力。未来的目标将包括鼓励南非政府支持，认可和采用Phodiso计划，作为跨文化创伤研究培训的成功且可复制的模型。 公共卫生相关性：UCLA/南非创伤培训研究（Phodiso）计划寻求另外五年的资金，以准备未来的研究人员在南非高水平的人际关系和社区暴力和故意伤害的情况下对创伤和伤害暴露进行研究。作为加州大学洛杉矶分校与南非研究联盟（SARC）之间的国际合作，其中包括人类科学研究委员会（HSRC），西北大学（NWU）和开普敦大学（UCT）（UCT），Phodiso的公共卫生任务是：1：1）增加了良好的南非训练良好的南非创伤研究者的数量； 2）将研究结果转化为文化上一致的创伤，预防伤害和治疗计划； 3）促进建立有益于南非人民的社区能力和基础设施。
