Program Summary Nigeria has one of the largest HIV epidemics in the world with 1.8 million people living with HIV infection. The United States government has made huge investments in HIV care and research in Nigeria, through the Presidents Emergency Funds for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)-supported programs and the National Institutes for Health (NIH) research training grants that have supported the training of researchers in Nigerian universities. Research on HIV in Nigeria has contributed significantly to the management, treatment, and prevention of HIV in the country as well to the development of international guidelines worldwide. The University of Nigeria Nsukka (UNN) College of Medicine has implemented multiple HIV research projects mostly as a sub-awardee. Findings from our rapid needs assessment with 84 UNN researchers and research administrators indicated that 93% of researchers expressed interest in submitting grant applications, including for HIV research, but only 28% knew who to contact for proposal and submission support at UNN. For UNN to successfully submit and manage grant applications as a prime institution, there is need to strengthen its research administration and management infrastructure. The objectives of this proposal are to: 1) further identify needs and gaps in research administration and management at UNN; 2) improve the grants management and proposal development knowledge and skills of UNN research administrators and HIV implementation researchers; and 3) strengthen the ability of UNN research administrators and HIV implementation researchers to submit and manage successful HIV grant applications by providing mentorship, ongoing coaching and online courses from UCSD program instructors. UC San Diego experts in research administration and grant management will implement the objectives of the proposed infrastructure development training program. The proposed program will be led by Dr. Gregory Aarons, Professor and Director of UC San Diego Altman Clinical and Translational Research Institute Dissemination and Implementation Science Center (DISC) as Program Director, and Dr. Echezona Ezeanolue, Professor and Director of UNN Centre for Translation and Implementation Research (CTAIR) as Co-Director. Drs. Aarons and Ezeanolue have an existing relationship and extensive experience building capacity in Nigerian institutions through the Nigeria Implementation Science Alliance (NISA). A team of research administration and grant management experts from UC San Diego will train and provide ongoing mentoring to research administrators and grant management staff at UNN over a 3-year period. By the end of this infrastructure development training program, 12 UNN research administrators and grant managers will be able to successfully submit and manage NIH, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and other funded HIV grants.

程序摘要 尼日利亚是世界上最大的艾滋病毒流行病之一，其中180万人感染了艾滋病毒感染。这 美国政府通过 总统艾滋病救济的紧急资金（PEPFAR）支持的计划和国立机构 卫生（NIH）研究培训补助金已支持尼日利亚大学研究人员的培训。 尼日利亚艾滋病毒的研究已为艾滋病毒的管理，治疗和预防做出了重大贡献 在该国以及全球国际准则的制定。尼日利亚大学Nsukka （UNN）医学院已经实施了多个艾滋病毒研究项目，主要是作为一名忠诚的人。发现 从我们的快速需求评估中，有84位UNN研究人员和研究管理人员表明，有93％ 研究人员表示有兴趣提交赠款申请，包括艾滋病毒研究，但只有28％的人知道 谁可以在UNN联系提案和提交支持。为了成功提交和管理赠款 作为主要机构的应用，需要加强其研究管理和管理 基础设施。该提案的目标是：1）进一步确定研究管理中的需求和差距 和UNN的管理； 2）提高赠款管理和提案发展知识和技能 UNN研究管理员和艾滋病毒实施研究人员； 3）增强UNN的能力 研究管理员和艾滋病毒实施研究人员提交和管理成功的艾滋病毒赠款 通过提供UCSD计划讲师的指导，正在进行的教练和在线课程的申请。 UC 圣地亚哥研究管理和赠款管理专家将实施 拟议的基础设施发展培训计划。拟议的计划将由Gregory Aarons博士领导， 加州大学圣地亚哥分校的教授兼主任临床和翻译研究所的传播以及 实施科学中心（DISC）作为计划主任，Echezona Ezeanolue博士，教授兼 UNN翻译与实施研究中心主任（CTAIR）担任联合导演。博士。亚伦和 Ezeanolue在尼日利亚机构有现有的关系和丰富的经验建设能力 通过尼日利亚实施科学联盟（NISA）。研究管理团队和授予 加州大学圣地亚哥分校的管理专家将培训并为研究管理员提供持续的指导 以及在3年期间，UNN的赠款管理人员。到本基础设施发展培训结束时 计划，12名UNN研究管理员和赠款经理将能够成功提交和管理 NIH，疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）和其他资助的HIV补助金。
