PROJECT SUMMARY/ ABSTRACT South Africa is the centre of the global HIV epidemic and has the largest absolute number of people living with HIV (~7.9 million) of any country in the world. South Africa also has the world’s highest TB prevalence (852 per 100,000 population aged >15 years), and the greatest incidence of co-morbid TB among those living with HIV. These high rates of HIV and TB are further compounded by the high burden of common mental disorders (CMDs), especially when co-morbid with HIV and HIV/TB. Underlying these national-level health trends are provincial and district health inequalities resulting from the legacy of the racist apartheid regime. The structural inequities wrought by apartheid continue to influence the distribution and prevalence of social, economic and behavioural risk factors that impact health outcomes, all of which continue to be observed in national surveys and health indicators. Similar to Historically Black Colleges and Universities in the United States, South Africa’s Historically Disadvantaged Institutions (HDIs) were established as non-White, segregated institutions during apartheid. Due to historic injustices, HDIs have not generated the type of academic resources or research infrastructure to enable them to compete with their affluent counterparts or establish a global footprint within the research environment. To address these historic health and institutional inequities wrought by South Africa’s racist Apartheid regime, invest in institutions outside of the historically advantaged cities of Durban, Johannesburg or Cape Town, and create a critical mass of cutting-edge HIV researchers within the HDIs of South Africa’s Eastern Cape Province, we propose the Khulani Siphile Siphuhle Training Program (KiSS-TP). Specifically, we will offer an intensive, interdisciplinary, mentored PhD training program to eight carefully selected Masters-level faculty and staff at University of Fort Hare (UFH), Walter Sisulu University (WSU) and the Desmond Tutu Health Foundation’s (DTHF) research program in Eastern Cape; UFH and WSU are two of South Africa’s eight designated HDIs. We will also strengthen PhD training capacity in Eastern Cape through professional development and progression towards independent research programmes for UFH and WSU faculty and D43 trainees. Our training consortium will include DTHF, UFH, WSU, University of Cape Town and University of California Global Health Institute. By selecting PhD trainees who are junior faculty and staff affiliated with Eastern Cape HDIs and research institutions, we ensure an immediate return-on-investment regarding: 1) an increase in cutting-edge research capacity in Eastern Cape, 2) support of academic capacity for nascent PhD programs at UFH and WSU, and 3) training of next generation HIV researchers. Trainees will have the opportunity to practice their developing skills through mentored research in the Eastern Cape focused on one of four critical areas of need in that region of South Africa: Adolescent health, HIV care and prevention; Men’s health, HIV care and prevention; HIV and mental health; and HIV and TB.

项目摘要/摘要 南非是全球艾滋病毒流行的中心，拥有最多的人数 世界上任何国家的艾滋病毒（约790万）。南非也有世界上最高的结核病患病率（852 每100,000名人口> 15岁），这是居住的人中最大的事件 艾滋病病毒。这些高的艾滋病毒和结核病率更加复杂。 （CMDS），尤其是与HIV和HIV/TB合并时。这些国家一级的健康趋势的基础是 种族主义种族隔离政权的遗产造成的省和地区卫生不平等。结构 种族隔离世界的不平等世界继续影响社会，经济和经济的分布和流行 影响健康结果的行为风险因素，所有这些都在国家调查中继续观察 和健康指标。 与历史上的黑人学院和大学类似，南非的历史 在种族隔离期间，处于弱势的机构（HDI）是非白人，隔离的机构。到期的 为了历史感染，HDI并未产生学术资源或研究基础设施的类型 使他们能够与情感对应物竞争或在研究中建立全球足迹 环境。 通过南非种族主义种族隔离政权解决这些历史健康和机构不平等世界， 投资于历史上有利城市以外的机构，约翰内斯堡或开普敦和 在南非东开普省HDI中创建大量尖端的艾滋病毒研究人员， 我们提出了Khulani Siphile Siphuhle培训计划（KISS-TP）。具体来说，我们将提供一个密集的 跨学科的指导博士培训计划向八个精心选择的硕士级教职员工和工作人员 堡垒堡大学（UFH），沃尔特·西苏鲁大学（WSU）和戴斯蒙德·塔图健康基金会（DTHF） 东开普省的研究计划； UFH和WSU是南非八个指定的HDI中的两个。我们也会 通过专业发展和向东开普省增强博士学位培训能力 UFH和WSU教师和D43学员的独立研究计划。我们的培训财团将包括 DTHF，UFH，WSU，开普敦大学和加利福尼亚大学全球健康研究所。通过选择博士学位 初级教师和教职员工的学员是东开普HDI和研究机构，我们确保 关于：1）东开普省前沿研究能力的提高，2） 支持UFH和WSU新生博士计划的学术能力，以及3）培训下一代艾滋病毒 研究人员。学员将有机会通过指导的研究来练习他们的发展技能 东开普省关注南非该地区的四个关键需求领域之一：青少年健康， 艾滋病毒护理和预防；男性健康，艾滋病毒护理和预防；艾滋病毒和心理健康；和艾滋病毒和结核病。
