ABSTRACT This application seeks to renew our D43 HIV research training grant by building on longstanding Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) collaborations with University of Washington (UW) and our first 10 years of successful training under the grant titled, “Improving the HIV Care Cascade in Kenya through Implementation Science Training”. From September 2013 to the present, the program has focused on increasing research capacity at KNH, the largest teaching and referral hospital in Kenya, and at the Kenya Ministry of Health (MOH) to improve HIV testing, linkage to care, antiretroviral initiation and viral suppression, a continuum known as the HIV care cascade. With evolution of the HIV epidemic in Kenya, we are shifting focus to preventing and treating non- communicable diseases (NCDs), including cardiovascular and metabolic disease, chronic lung disease, mental health problems, and cancer among people living with HIV (PLWH), to enable PLWH to live longer and healthier lives. During the last two grant periods, 18 KNH Care Cascade (KNHCC) trainees have earned MPH or PhD degrees and this provides a solid foundation for KNH and our partners at MOH to continue providing critical support for the training, teaching, and research activities needed to realize this vision. The renewal application will be based at KNH and led by Dr. John Kinuthia, Head of the Department of Research and Programs at KNH, and co-led by Dr. Carey Farquhar, Interim Chair of the Department of Global Health at UW. A majority of the training will take place in Kenya and KNH will be the prime awardee. Titled “Integrating prevention and treatment of non-communicable diseases and HIV care through research training in Kenya-INTEGRATE,” the program will offer long-term training through an MPH/PhD program in implementation science and epidemiology which includes PhD training at University of Nairobi (UoN) (3 years) and MPH training in Seattle (1 year). The program will also offer a 1-year mentored post-doctoral fellowship in Kenya to bridge PhD trainees as they develop proposals for independent research and career development awards. We will also offer short-term in-person and online training in Kenya, teaching 1 to 2-week courses on implementation science and other research methods that have been taught successfully at KNH over the last decade. We will leverage the UW Department of Global Health’s e-learning platform (eDGH) to reach large numbers of KNH and MOH professional staff. Short-course trainings will build broader institutional capacity and identify the best candidates for future degree and post- doctoral training. A Steering Committee comprised of leading researchers, educators, and public health professionals from all 4 institutions (KNH, UoN, UW, and MOH) will work closely with the Program Director and Co-director and receive regular input from an external Training Advisory Committee (TAC) to ensure success of each trainee and the overall program. This success will translate into producing high-quality and locally relevant research, training the next generation of Kenyan researchers, and influencing national guidelines and policies to prevent and treat NCDs among PLWH.

抽象的 该申请旨在通过建立长期的肯雅塔来续签我们的D43 HIV研究培训赠款 国家医院（KNH）与华盛顿大学（UW）的合作以及我们成功的前10年 根据授予的培训，标题为“通过实施科学改善肯尼亚的艾滋病毒护理级联 培训”。从2013年9月到现在，该计划的重点是提高研究能力 KNH是肯尼亚最大的教学和转诊医院，以及肯尼亚卫生部（MOH）的改进 艾滋病毒测试，与护理的联系，抗逆转录病毒启动和病毒抑制，一种称为HIV护理的连续性语言 级联。随着肯尼亚艾滋病毒流行的演变，我们正在转移重点，以防止和治疗非 - 传染病（NCD），包括心血管和代谢疾病，慢性肺疾病，精神 健康问题和艾滋病毒（PLWH）患者中的癌症，使PLWH能够更长，更健康 居住。在过去的两个赠款期间，18 KNH护理级联（KNHCC）学员获得了MPH或博士学位 学位和这为KNH和我们在MOH的合作伙伴提供了坚实的基础，以继续提供关键 支持培训，教学和研究活动需要实现这一愿景。续订申请 将由KNH设在KNH，由KNH研究与计划部负责人John Kinuthia博士领导， 并由UW全球卫生部临时主席Carey Farquhar博士共同领导。大多数 培训将在肯尼亚进行，KNH将成为主要获奖者。标题为“整合预防和治疗 通过肯尼亚 - 综合研究培训的非通信疾病和艾滋病毒护理，“该计划将 通过实施科学和流行病学的MPH/PHD计划进行长期培训，该计划 包括在内罗毕大学（UON）的博士学位培训（3年）和西雅图的MPH培训（1年）。该程序 还将在肯尼亚提供1年的医学博士后奖学金，以弥合博士学位学员 独立研究和职业发展奖的建议。我们还将提供短期面对面的 在肯尼亚的在线培训，教学1至2周的实施科学和其他研究方法的课程 在过去的十年中，在KNH成功教授的。我们将利用全球大学部 Health的电子学习平台（EDGH）可以吸引大量KNH和MOH专业人员。短期 培训将建立广播公司的机构能力，并确定未来学位和后的最佳候选人 博士培训。指导委员会完成了领先的研究人员，教育工作者和公共卫生 来自所有四个机构（KNH，UON，UW和MOH）的专业人员将与计划主任紧密合作 联合导演并获得外部培训咨询委员会（TAC）的定期意见，以确保成功 每个学员和整体计划。这种成功将转化为生产高质量和本地相关的 研究，培训下一代肯尼亚研究人员，并影响国家准则和政策 在PLWH中预防和处理NCD。
