DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The prevalence of HIV/AIDS in Cambodia increased sharply in the 1990s, reaching upwards of 40% among high-risk populations.2 While the prevalence rate declined to approximately 0.9% by 2006, it remains inflated among high-risk groups.3 In the wake of the epidemic, the Cambodian government initiated national data collection and disease monitoring efforts that have produced rich, longitudinal data from HIV/AIDS treatment and surveillance programs. However, a shortage of professionals trained to manage and interpret these types of data, persists. The UCLA Department of Epidemiology and the Cambodian University of Health Sciences (UHS) propose a program to train a cohort of Cambodian public health professionals in the management, analysis and evaluation of secondary data. Trainees will have two tracks from which to choose. The UCLA MS/MPH track requires coursework in epidemiologic methods and principles, biostatistics, data management, behavioral sciences and HIV/AIDS epidemiology. This track also requires completion of a master's project that must be relevant for HIV/AIDS policy development in Cambodia. The UCLA PhD track requires trainees complete core courses in epidemiology as well as courses in logic, causation and probability, the biology of HIV/AIDS, graduate statistics and pass a qualifying exam. Trainees then carry out a dissertation in Cambodia that is relevant to HIV/AIDS policy. The overall program will be assessed based on trainee progress and matriculation rates; thesis/dissertation quality, policy relevance and the proportion published; the program's impact on UHS recruitment rates and trainee placement in national HIV/AIDS monitoring and data analysis roles.

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The prevalence of HIV/AIDS in Cambodia increased sharply in the 1990s, reaching upwards of 40% among high-risk populations.2 While the prevalence rate declined to approximately 0.9% by 2006, it remains inflated among high-risk groups.3 In the wake of the epidemic, the Cambodian government initiated national data collection and disease monitoring efforts that have produced rich, longitudinal data from HIV/AIDS治疗和监视计划。但是，缺少接受管理和解释这些类型数据的专业人员的缺乏。加州大学洛杉矶分校流行病学系和柬埔寨卫生科学大学（UHS）提出了一项计划，以培训一批柬埔寨公共卫生专业人员的辅助数据管理，分析和评估。学员将有两条曲目可供选择。 UCLA MS/MPH轨道要求在流行病学方法和原理，生物统计学，数据管理，行为科学和HIV/AIDS流行病学中进行课程。该轨道还需要完成硕士项目，这必须与柬埔寨的艾滋病毒/艾滋病政策制定相关。 UCLA博士轨道要求学员完整的流行病学核心课程以及逻辑，因果关系和概率，HIV/AIDS的生物学，研究生统计学并通过合格考试的课程。然后，学员在柬埔寨进行与艾滋病毒/艾滋病政策有关的论文。总体计划将根据受训者的进度和入学率进行评估；论文/论文质量，政策相关性和发布的比例；该计划对国家艾滋病毒/艾滋病监测和数据分析角色中UHS招聘率和学员安置的影响。
