 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This new training program, entitled "Microbiology and Immunology Training for HIV and HIV-Related Research in Uganda" (MITHU) builds on the 28 year training record of Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) and partners at Makerere University (MU) and the Joint Clinical Research Center (JCRC). MITHU's focus is on biomedical training in basic microbiology and immunology to be applied to HIV and HIV/AIDS-related diseases research. The program has been designed to meet the most essential training needs identified by colleagues in Uganda with a long-term goal of strengthening the biomedical research capacity of major universities and medical schools in Uganda. MITHU's Specific Aims are: 1. To strengthen Ugandan biomedical research capacity at the faculty level by supporting PhD level training in microbiology and immunology at CWRU of talented young Ugandan scientists who have completed Master's level training at MU. 2. To strengthen graduate education in biomedical sciences in Uganda by supporting Master's level training in the School of Biomedical Sciences at MU's College of Health Sciences. 3. To establish regional expertise on HIV and its complications by building on the infrastructure and ongoing research of the Uganda-CWRU Research Collaboration (UCRC). 4. To develop a culture of mentoring young and developing laboratory scientists through the Uganda Society of Health Scientists (USHS). 5. To continue close collaborations between MITHU and laboratories at JCRC and MU to provide advanced facilities for immunology and microbiology research in Uganda for training and for returning trainees. MITHU proposes a comprehensive, basic science program emphasizing training that addresses the changing circumstances imposed by the HIV epidemic in Uganda. The proposed program will balance education and training experiences between MU and CWRU, with Master's level training in Uganda and PhD training in the US. We will offer a course in Uganda on HIV and HIV/AIDS-related infections focused on the latest innovations in basic science and technology. This course will serve as a Core Course for the Master's program and will be team-taught by lecturers in Uganda and CWRU with expertise in the basic and clinical virology, pathogenesis and drug resistance of HIV, complications of HIV/AIDS, particularly HIV/TB, and basic and clinical immunology. As the cadre of young biomedical scientists grows in Uganda, there will be a demand for Ugandan mentors. MITHU will organize mentor training with USHS, a society organized by former Ugandan CWRU trainees. Research training in MITHU will build on the infrastructure and research activities of UCRC projects funded by NIH, CDC, B&MGF, EDTCP, and others. They create a robust environment for Master's training at MU and generate biomedical hypotheses for PhD training at CWRU.

 描述（由适用提供）：该新的培训计划，题为“乌干达的艾滋病毒和艾滋病毒和艾滋病毒相关的研究的微生物学和免疫学培训”（密特）建立在案例西部储备大学（CWRU）的28年培训记录和马克雷雷尔大学（MU）（MU）和联合临床研究中心（JCRC）的28年培训记录上。密特（Mithu）的重点是用于艾滋病毒和艾滋病毒/艾滋病相关疾病研究的基本微生物学和免疫学的生物医学培训。该计划旨在满足乌干达同事确定的最重要的培训需求，其长期目标是增强乌干达主要大学和医学院的生物医学研究能力。 Mithu的具体目的是：1。通过支持在MU完成了MU的Master's Level培训的有才华的年轻乌干达科学家的CWRU博士学位和免疫学培训，以增强教师级别的乌干达生物医学研究能力。 2。通过支持MU健康科学学院生物医学科学学院的硕士水平培训来加强乌干达生物医学科学的研究生教育。 3。通过在乌干达-CWRU研究合作（UCRC）的基础设施和正在进行的研究上建立艾滋病毒及其并发症的区域专业知识。 4。通过乌干达卫生科学家（USHS）来发展一种指导年轻和发展实验室科学家的文化。 5。继续在JCRC和MU之间密切合​​作，以在乌干达为免疫学和微生物研究提供高级设施，以培训和返回学员。 Mithu提出了一项全面的基础科学计划，强调培训，以解决乌干达艾滋病毒流行病的不断变化的环境。拟议的计划将平衡MU和CWRU之间的教育和培训经验，并在乌干达和美国的博士学位培训中进行硕士学位培训。我们将在乌干达提供有关艾滋病毒和艾滋病毒/艾滋病相关感染的课程，重点介绍基础科学和技术的最新创新。本课程将作为硕士课程的核心课程，并将由乌干达和CWRU的讲师在基本和临床病毒学，艾滋病毒的发病机理和耐药性，艾滋病毒/艾滋病的并发症，尤其是艾滋病毒/结核病以及基本和临床免疫学方面教授。随着年轻的生物医学科学家在乌干达的成长，将需要乌干达导师。 Mithu将与USHS组织心理培训，USHS是由前乌干达CWRU学员组织的社会。 MITHU的研究培训将建立在NIH，CDC，B＆MGF，EDTCP等资助的UCRC项目的基础设施和研究活动的基础上。他们为在MU的硕士培训中创造了一个健壮的环境，并在CWRU中产生了生物医学假设。
