 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Building and sustaining research capacity in resource limited settings such as Uganda depends on training local researchers to develop innovative fundable proposals as well as building grants and finance administration capacity to be able to successfully support grants submissions and post award activities. MUJHU CARE LTD is a local research entity in Kampala, Uganda which began in 1988 as a collaboration between clinical investigators from Johns Hopkins U. (JHU) and Makerere U. School of Medicine. Over the years MUJHU CARE LTD has had a highly successful track record in carrying out HIV prevention research. In recent years, it has focused its efforts on taking a leading role in NIH grant submissions with a number of successful grants now funded directly to MUJHU. In administering these grants, the leaders at both MUJHU and JHU have recognized the need to further strengthen grants and finance administration infrastructure, including grant support software and further training of grants administration and finance staff. The overall aims of this G11 training application are: 1) To standardize and strengthen a grants and finance management training program using a variety of staff engaged in grants and finance management at MUJHU Care LTD; 2) To develop a "Grants & Administration Support Office" handbook for use as a training and reference tool to assist investigators and support staff at MUJHU CARE LTD.; 3) To provide MUJHU CARE LTD researchers and administrative staff with "hands on" training and mentorship for both grants submissions and post-award management; and 4) To leverage this increased grants management knowledge and capacity of MUJHU CARE LTD staff to then serve as experts mentors / Train of Trainers in grants administration to other Ugandan and regional African research institutions. Expected outputs from this proposal include long term training of one MUJHU CARE LTD administrator to receive a Master's Degree in Research Administration from Johns Hopkins University Krieger School of Arts and Sciences; an intermediate training of one of the Grants and Management Officer at MUJHU for a certificate of research administration program offered by JHU School of Medicine; and short term trainings in grants writing and administration; cohesive MUJHU "grants teams" compromised of MUJHU administrative/finance/regulatory staff with researchers working on grant applications; and post award activities; with submission of 4 or more NIH type grants during the 3 year grant period; and development of a grants management handbook for training of grants management staff useful to other research groups in Uganda and East Africa.

 描述（由申请人提供）：在乌干达等资源有限的地区建设和维持研究能力取决于培训当地研究人员制定创新的可资助提案以及建设赠款和财务管理能力，以便能够成功支持赠款提交和获奖后活动MUJHU CARE LTD 是乌干达坎帕拉的一家当地研究实体，成立于 1988 年，是约翰·霍普金斯大学 (JHU) 和麦克雷雷大学医学院的临床研究人员多年来的合作。 MUJHU CARE LTD 在开展艾滋病毒预防研究方面取得了非常成功的记录，近年来，它致力于在 NIH 拨款申请中发挥主导作用，目前有许多成功的拨款直接资助给 MUJHU 来管理这些研究。 MUJHU 和 JHU 的领导者都认识到需要进一步加强赠款和财务管理基础设施，包括赠款支持软件和赠款管理和财务人员的进一步培训。本次 G11 培训应用程序的总体目标是： 1)利用 MUJHU Care LTD 从事赠款和财务管理的各种工作人员，标准化和加强赠款和财务管理培训计划 2) 制定“赠款和行政支持办公室”手册，用作培训和参考工具，以协助调查人员；以及 MUJHU CARE LTD 的支持人员； 3) 为 MUJHU CARE LTD 的研究人员和管理人员提供赠款申请和资助后管理的“实践”培训和指导；以及 4) 充分利用；这增加了 MUJHU CARE LTD 员工的赠款管理知识和能力，让他们能够担任其他乌干达和非洲地区研究机构赠款管理方面的专家导师/培训师。该提案的预期成果包括对一名 MUJHU CARE LTD 管理员进行长期培训，以帮助他们更好地进行赠款管理。获得约翰霍普金斯大学克里格艺术与科学学院的研究管理硕士学位；在 MUJHU 的一名资助和管理官员的中级培训，获得约翰霍普金斯大学克里格艺术与科学学院提供的研究管理课程证书医学；以及由 MUJHU 行政/财务/监管人员与从事资助申请的研究人员组成的有凝聚力的 MUJHU“资助团队”的短期培训；以及在资助期间提交 4 项或更多 NIH 类型资助的活动； 3 年资助期；以及制定赠款管理手册，用于培训赠款管理人员，对乌干达和东非的其他研究小组有用。
