DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is the first submission of this application for competitive renewal of the Adolescent Health Promotion Research Training Program at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. The goal of the program is to provide training in reproductive health research to post-doctoral Adolescent Medicine physicians. Effective interventions to address high rates of sexually transmitted infections, including HIV, and pregnancy among adolescents and young adults are lacking. Adolescent Medicine specialists, those who have contact with adolescent and young adult patients in a clinical setting, must serve as leaders in the development of new strategies to effectively prevent HIV, other STIs, and pregnancy. This requires clinicians to build upon scientific advancements from varied disciplines through collaboration with epidemiologists, behavioral scientists, psychologists, social scientists, statisticians, and geneticists. To date, we have successfully recruited and trained five Adolescent Medicine fellows in reproductive health research, four of whom are under-represented minorities. All three fellows who graduated or who are about to graduate from the program were recruited into academic positions. Based on these successes, we now request an additional five years of funding to support three fellows per year, one position for each of the three years of research training. The Johns Hopkins University is uniquely qualified to develop and maintain such a program given the on-going research of our faculty, the successful outcomes of our previous trainees, the resources available, and the continuous influx of bright dedicated Adolescent Medicine physicians. The training program is unique at Johns Hopkins University because of its emphasis on the intersection of HIV and STI prevention and adolescents.

描述（由申请人提供）：这是本申请人在约翰·霍普金斯医学院的青少年健康促进研究培训计划的竞争续约申请的首次提交。该计划的目的是为博士后青少年医学医生提供生殖健康研究的培训。缺乏有效解决高性传播感染率的有效干预措施，包括艾滋病毒和青少年和年轻人的怀孕。在临床环境中与青少年和年轻患者接触的青少年医学专家必须在开发新策略的领导者中有效预防艾滋病毒，其他性传播感染和怀孕。这要求临床医生通过与流行病学家，行为科学家，心理学家，社会科学家，统计学家和遗传学家的合作来建立不同学科的科学进步。迄今为止，我们在生殖健康研究中成功招募并培训了五名青少年医学研究员，其中四项是代表性不足的少数群体。所有三个毕业或即将从该计划毕业的研究员都被招募到学术职位。 基于这些成功，我们现在要求额外的五年资金支持每年三名研究员，这是三年的研究培训中的每个人。约翰·霍普金斯大学（Johns Hopkins University）具有独特的资格，有资格制定和维护这样一项计划，因为我们的教职员工的持续研究，我们以前的学员的成功成果，可用的资源以及持续不断的敬业青少年医学医生的持续涌入。培训计划在约翰·霍普金斯大学（Johns Hopkins University）是独一无二的，因为它强调了艾滋病毒和性传播感染预防和青少年的交集。
