DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed training program, which builds on a > 20 year history of collaboration in HIV/AIDS-related research and training, will target junior investigators who are based at MAKCHS, Mulago National Referral Hospital, or affiliated non-governmental organizations and aspire to careers in patient-oriented research. The current proposal seeks to enhance opportunities in translational research, which has been identified by Ugandan and U.S. investigators as a critical under-represented need. By offering customized didactic training and practical research experiences in a multi-disciplinary environment, the program will prepare individuals from diverse professional backgrounds to contribute to translational research teams; this team-building represents an efficient and potentially transformative approach to advancing research in the important, under-studied, and inherently inter-disciplinary content area of pulmonary complications of HIV infection. Trainees will be enrolled either in existing masters degree programs at MAKCHS or, in selected circumstances, in degree-conferring distance-learning programs or individual courses at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine or UCSF. Selected trainees will spend limited blocks of time in the U.S. at one of the participating U.S. institutions, where they will undertake advanced courses and intensive laboratory experiences not available at MAKCHS; receive mentoring to prepare them to compete for independent grant funding; obtain assistance with analysis, interpretation, and preparation of abstracts and manuscripts at the data analysis stage; and benefit from other types of career development and faculty mentoring activities. All trainees will pursue longitudinal in-country research projects alongside their didactic training. These research projects will, whenever possible, take advantage of data and specimens being collected through current collaborative NIH-funded HIV/AIDS-related research projects in Uganda, or build on the existing research infrastructure of these projects. Trainees will be eligible to compete for and receive modest funding for their research projects. Priority will be given to training and research proposals that focus on the acquisition and application of translational research methods and that promise to strengthen multi- disciplinary research teams. The result of the training program will be an increase in the number of MAKCHS faculty conducting high quality, locally relevant research on TB and other pulmonary complications of HIV, which will in turn help improve HIV/AIDS outcomes in Uganda and other high-burden countries.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议的培训计划以> 20年的艾滋病毒/艾滋病相关研究和培训的合作历史为基础，它将针对总部位于Makchs，Mulago National转诊医院或隶属的非政府组织和非政府组织和ASPIRE的初级研究人员，以患者为导向的患者研究。当前的提案旨在加强转化研究的机会，乌干达和美国调查人员已将其确定为主要代表性不足的需求。通过在多学科环境中提供定制的教学培训和实践研究经验，该计划将使来自不同专业背景的个人为转化研究团队做出贡献；这种团队建设代表了一种有效且潜在的变革方法，用于推进艾滋病毒感染的肺部并发症的重要，研究不足且固有的跨学科内容区域。在伦敦卫生和热带医学学院或UCSF的伦敦学院或UCSF的伦敦学院，学员或在某些情况下，将在Makchs的现有硕士学位课程中注册。选定的学员将在美国的一家机构中在美国花费有限的时间，他们将在Makchs上进行高级课程和不可用的实验室经验；接受指导，准备他们竞争独立赠款资金；在数据分析阶段获得分析，解释和准备摘要和手稿的帮助；并受益于其他类型的职业发展和教师指导活动。所有学员将在教义培训的同时从事纵向内部研究项目。这些研究项目将在可能的情况下利用数据和标本，通过当前由NIH资助的HIV/AIDS与乌干达的研究项目收集，或建立在这些项目的现有研究基础架构的基础上。学员将有资格争夺其研究项目并获得适度的资金。将优先考虑培训和研究 侧重于获取和应用转化研究方法的建议，并有望加强多学科研究团队。培训计划的结果将是增加对艾滋病毒的TB和其他肺部并发症的高质量，本地相关研究的Makchs教师数量的增加，这反过来又有助于改善乌干达和其他高负责国家的艾滋病毒/艾滋病成果。
