项目摘要

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）：加州大学洛杉矶分校/南非创伤培训研究 (Phodiso) 计划寻求额外五年的资金，为未来的调查人员做好准备，在南非高水平的人际和社区背景下开展创伤暴露和伤害预防的研究暴力和故意伤害。 Phodiso 计划是加州大学洛杉矶分校和南非研究联盟 (SARC) 之间的一项国际合作项目，该联盟包括人类科学研究委员会 (HSRC)、西北大学 (NWU) 和开普敦大学 (UCT)，并基于三个 NIH 资助的项目：1) Eban 项目，一项随机临床试验，测试对 HIV 血清不一致的非洲裔美国夫妇进行文化一致的干预措施（R01； 2001-2011）； 2) 南非妇女强奸的后果（Fulufhelo 项目），一项研究南非妇女强奸造成的短期和长期社会心理后遗症（R03；2009-2012 年）； 3) 针对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共病差异的种族和族裔少数博士后学者和早期职业研究人员的艾滋病毒/艾滋病转化培训计划（HATT）（R25；2009-2011）。在生态和社会学习理论的指导下，弗迪索学者的研究重点将是最大限度地减少南非创伤暴露对健康和心理健康的负面影响，特别是抑郁症和创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）。经过过去五年的发展，我们的多学科培训计划旨在扩大对生物和遗传标记以及压力介质的调查和培训，从而成为一个更全面的生物行为创伤培训计划。在最初的资助期间，八名学者接受了培训，现在将组成技术顾问组（TAG）。对于此次更新，加州大学洛杉矶分校和 SARC 核心教员以及 TAG 将在全国范围内开展申请流程，每年选择一名早期职业研究候选人获得为期两年的博士后奖学金。学者们将获得研究指导，包括每年在加州大学洛杉矶分校进行四分之一的研究（即三个月）、在南非举行一次选拔和规划会议以及一次短期创伤研讨会。学者们将在南非开展自己的研究项目，作为该领域未来研究的基础，并与 SARC 主办大学和 TAG 导师密切合作。 Phodiso 创伤培训计划和学者的研究生涯将随着时间的推移进行跟踪。具体而言，将评估和记录培训计划的可持续性以及融入学术、私人和政府支持机构的可持续性，以及学者建立和维持独立研究职业的能力。未来的目标将包括鼓励南非政府支持、认可和采用 Phodiso 计划，将其作为跨文化创伤研究培训的成功且可复制的模式。公共卫生相关性：加州大学洛杉矶分校/南非创伤培训研究 (Phodiso) 计划寻求额外五年的资金，为未来的调查人员做好准备，在南非人际和社区暴力和故意伤害严重的背景下开展创伤和伤害暴露研究。作为加州大学洛杉矶分校和南非研究联盟 (SARC)（包括人类科学研究委员会 (HSRC)、西北大学 (NWU) 和开普敦大学 (UCT)）之间的国际合作项目，Phodiso 的公共卫生使命是： 1）增加训练有素的南非创伤研究人员的数量； 2) 将研究成果转化为文化上一致的创伤和伤害预防和治疗计划； 3) 促进社区能力和基础设施建设，造福南非人民。
