项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): To provide optimal HIV treatment and prevent new infections among women and adolescent girls in Kenya, it is necessary to conduct locally relevant research that addresses the know-do gap and can be readily translated into national guidelines, clinical practice and policy. The proposed training program's primary goal is to build capacity at the Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI) in implementation science focused on HIV, women and adolescents while creating bridges to other organizations responsible for healthcare practice and service delivery. KEMRI's strong commitment to conducting research that informs service delivery and improves national health outcomes in Kenya forms the foundation for the program. This foundation is strengthened by the University of Washington's (UW) long-term collaboration with KEMRI and other Kenyan institutions, such as the National AIDS and STD Control Program (NASCOP). The program will be led by Dr. Carey Farquhar, UW Professor of Medicine, Epidemiology and Global Health, and Director of two large HIV training programs in Africa, and by Dr. Elizabeth Bukusi, an obstetrician-gynecologist with extensive research experience who is currently Deputy Director of Research and Training at KEMRI. The first aim of the proposed program will build implementation science research capacity at KEMRI and NASCOP by training 8 medical doctors in master's and doctoral programs offered by the UW School of Public Health. After 9 months of coursework in Seattle, trainees will return to Kenya for 9 months to conduct implementation science research projects focused on HIV treatment and prevention for women with guidance from a team of UW, KEMRI and NASCOP Core Faculty. During this period they will also complete an externship at the Kenya Ministry of Health, CDC-Kenya, or another governmental or non-governmental organization working in HIV care and prevention for women and adolescents. The program's second aim will further strengthen capacity at KEMRI by supporting medium-term training for 5 faculty who have excelled in teaching and research at the graduate school. After 5 months at UW, faculty will return to KEMRI equipped to teach new courses in advanced research methods, implementation science and adolescent and women's health and having completed a grant proposal or manuscript related to women and HIV. The third aim will extend the reach of training to a greater number of KEMRI and NASCOP staff by providing 1-week workshops on implementation science, grant writing, and manuscript preparation; 1-day workshops for county medical directors will also be offered in collaboration with KEMRI staff to promote engagement of local care, treatment and prevention leaders in areas where women are hardest hit by the HIV epidemic. This three-tiered approach uses UW's well-established approaches to training, the proposed program to build greatly needed implementation science research capacity at KEMRI and its partner organization NASCOP and change the face of the HIV epidemic for women and adolescent girls in Kenya.

描述（由申请人提供）：为了在肯尼亚妇女和少女中提供最佳的艾滋病毒治疗并预防新的感染，有必要进行当地相关的研究，以解决知识差距，并可以很容易地转化为国家指南、临床实践拟议的培训计划的主要目标是建设肯尼亚医学研究所 (KEMRI) 在艾滋病毒、妇女和青少年方面的实施科学能力，同时为负责医疗保健实践和服务提供的其他组织建立桥梁。进行研究为肯尼亚的服务提供提供信息并改善国民健康状况，为该计划奠定了基础。华盛顿大学 (UW) 与 KEMRI 和其他肯尼亚机构（例如国家艾滋病和性病控制计划）的长期合作进一步加强了这一基础。该项目将由华盛顿大学医学、流行病学和全球健康教授、非洲两个大型艾滋病毒培训项目主任 Carey Farquhar 博士和伊丽莎白·布库西 (Elizabeth Bukusi) 博士领导。具有丰富研究经验的妇产科医生，现任 KEMRI 研究和培训副主任。拟议项目的首要目标是通过在华盛顿大学提供的硕士和博士课程中培训 8 名医生，建立 KEMRI 和 NASCOP 的实施科学研究能力。在西雅图完成 9 个月的课程学习后，学员将返回肯尼亚进行为期 9 个月的实施科学研究项目，重点是在华盛顿大学、KEMRI 和在此期间，他们还将在肯尼亚卫生部、肯尼亚疾病预防控制中心或其他从事妇女和青少年艾滋病毒护理和预防工作的政府或非政府组织完成实习。通过支持 5 名在研究生院教学和研究方面表现出色的教员的中期培训，提高 KEMRI 的能力。在华盛顿大学 5 个月后，教员将返回 KEMRI，教授高级研究方法、实施科学和青少年和青少年方面的新课程。第三个目标是通过提供为期 1 周的关于实施科学、拨款写作和手稿准备的研讨会，将培训范围扩大到更多 KEMRI 和 NASCOP 工作人员。还将与 KEMRI 工作人员合作，为县医疗主管举办为期 1 天的研讨会，以促进当地护理、治疗和预防领导者参与艾滋病毒流行最严重的地区。这种三层方法利用了威斯康辛大学成熟的方法。接近培训，拟议的计划旨在建设 KEMRI 及其伙伴组织 NASCOP 急需的实施科学研究能力，并改变肯尼亚妇女和少女艾滋病毒流行的面貌。
