项目摘要

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.

计划概要尼日利亚是世界上艾滋病毒流行最严重的国家之一，有 180 万艾滋病毒感染者。这美国政府通过以下方式对尼日利亚的艾滋病毒护理和研究进行了大量投资：总统艾滋病紧急救援基金 (PEPFAR) 支持的计划和国家艾滋病研究所卫生 (NIH) 研究培训补助金支持尼日利亚大学研究人员的培训。尼日利亚的艾滋病毒研究为艾滋病毒的管理、治疗和预防做出了重大贡献在国内以及全球范围内制定国际准则。尼日利亚恩苏卡大学 (UNN) 医学院实施了多个艾滋病毒研究项目，大部分是作为子获奖者。发现我们对 84 名 UNN 研究人员和研究管理人员进行的快速需求评估表明，93% 研究人员表示有兴趣提交资助申请，包括艾滋病毒研究，但只有 28% 的人知道在 UNN 寻求提案和提交支持时应联系谁。让 UNN 成功提交和管理补助金作为应用主体机构，需要加强其科研行政和管理基础设施。该提案的目标是：1）进一步确定研究管理方面的需求和差距和UNN的管理； 2) 提高赠款管理和提案制定知识和技能 UNN 研究管理人员和艾滋病毒实施研究人员； 3）加强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资助通过提供 UCSD 项目讲师的指导、持续辅导和在线课程来申请。 UC 圣地亚哥研究管理和资助管理方面的专家将实现该项目的目标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奥特曼临床与转化研究所传播与传播教授兼主任实施科学中心 (DISC) 担任项目主任，Echezona Ezeanolue 博士担任教授和 UNN 翻译与实施研究中心 (CTAIR) 主任兼联合主任。博士。亚伦和 Ezeanolue 在尼日利亚机构中拥有现有的关系和丰富的能力建设经验通过尼日利亚实施科学联盟（NISA）。研究管理和资助团队加州大学圣地亚哥分校的管理专家将为研究管理人员提供培训和持续指导以及 UNN 三年期间的赠款管理人员。在本次基础设施开发培训结束时计划，12名UNN研究管理员和资助经理将能够成功提交和管理美国国立卫生研究院 (NIH)、疾病控制和预防中心 (CDC) 以及其他资助的艾滋病毒赠款。
