项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal requests support for Weill Cornell Medical College (WMC or Cornell) to continue training Haitian scientists in the performance of biomedical, epidemiological, laboratory, clinical, operational, health services and behavioral research on HIV and related opportunistic infections. The program is based in the Division of International Medicine and Infectious Diseases at Cornell, with an interdisciplinary group of investigators who have extensive collaborations with Haiti. Strengthened collaborations with Vanderbilt, Harvard, University of California (Berkeley), the Hastings Center, and the Aaron Diamond AIDS Research Center offer diverse training opportunities. The program will continue to emphasize medium and long-term advanced research training in Haiti. Since its inception, the AITRP program has provided medium- and long-term training to 121 Haitian biomedical personnel, with 98% currently conducting HIV/AIDS work in Haiti. The training offered will be related to six general HIV/AIDS research categories: 1) HIV vaccine trials; 2) antiretroviral clinical trials; 3) pediatrics and maternal-infant transmission research; 4) HIVassociated opportunistic infections - tuberculosis and human papilloma virus infection (HPV); 5) ethics and behavioral research, with an emphasis on adolescents; and 7) pathogenesis, immunology, and virology. The proposed training will be conducted largely in Haiti, with much of the training done by the former Fogarty trainees. The training program is imbedded in the ongoing collaborative Cornell-GHESKIO HIV research and clinical activities, including the following: HIV Clinical Trials Unit (CTU) for HIV vaccine and antiretroviral clinical trials; WHO/TDR tuberculosis and syphilis research; United Nations Global Fund for AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria; President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR); Comprehensive International Program Research on AIDS (CIPRA); International Clinical Operational Health Services Research Training on AIDS (ICOHRTA); Caribbean, Central, and South America Network (CCASAnet); and the Trans-Caribbean HIV/AIDS Research Initiative (TCHARI). A high priority will be given to training that will facilitate the conduct of HIV vaccine and clinical trials, and operational and health research programs in Haiti and the Caribbean. In addition to research training in Haiti, trainees will have the opportunity for advanced training with outstanding US mentors. The program's US core and collaborating training faculty are funded scientists committed to AIDS research. The faculty constitutes a cohesive unit, with diverse but focused interests.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案要求对Weill Cornell医学院（WMC或Cornell）的支持，继续培训海地科学家在生物医学，流行病学，实验室，临床，运营，卫生，卫生，卫生服务以及对HIV和相关机会性感染的行为研究的表现。该计划基于康奈尔大学的国际医学和传染病部门，跨学科的研究人员与海地进行了广泛合作。加强了与范德比尔特，哈佛大学，加利福尼亚大学（伯克利大学），黑斯廷斯中心和亚伦钻石艾滋病研究中心的合作，提供了多种培训机会。该计划将继续强调海地的中期和长期高级研究培训。自成立以来，AITRP计划已为121名海地生物医学人员提供了中期和长期培训，目前有98％的人在海地开展艾滋病毒/艾滋病工作。提供的培训将与六个普通艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究类别有关：1）HIV疫苗试验； 2）抗逆转录病毒临床试验； 3）儿科和孕产妇传播研究； 4）HIVASSICCOSICATION感染 - 结核病和人乳头状瘤病毒感染（HPV）； 5）道德和行为研究，重点是青少年； 7）发病机理，免疫学和病毒学。拟议的培训将主要在海地进行，并由前Fogarty训练者进行大部分培训。该培训计划嵌入了正在进行的康奈尔·吉斯基（Cornell-Gheskio HIV）研究和临床活动中，包括以下：HIV临床试验单元（CTU）用于HIV疫苗和抗逆转录病毒临床试验； WHO/TDR结核病和梅毒研究；联合国全球艾滋病，结核病和疟疾基金；总统的艾滋病紧急计划（PEPFAR）；全面的国际艾滋病计划研究（CIPRA）；国际临床运营卫生服务艾滋病研究培训（ICOHRTA）；加勒比海，中央和南美网络（CCASANET）；以及跨加勒比海艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究计划（TCHARI）。将对培训进行高度重视，这将有助于促进HIV疫苗和临床试验的行为，以及海地和加勒比海的运营和健康研究计划。除了在海地的研究培训外，学员还将有机会与杰出的美国导师进行高级培训。该计划的美国核心和协作培训教师是致力于艾滋病研究的科学家。该教师构成了一个具有多样但集中兴趣的凝聚力单位。
