As access to antiretroviral therapy for HIV has expanded in sub-Saharan Africa, millions of persons with HIV are surviving for decades on treatment, but they are developing chronic non-communicable disease (NCD) complications that require new science and new directions in prevention, detection, and treatment. Recogniz- ing that investigation and control of NCDs can be most effectively undertaken by highly trained local investiga- tors, the University of Zambia (UNZA)-Vanderbilt Partnership for HIV Nutrition Research Training (UVP-1) has supported PhD training for 11 Zambian scientists pursuing a wide range of HIV-NCD research and has helped strengthen the UNZA PhD program and the culture of mentorship at UNZA. We are now transitioning the UNZA-Vanderbilt Training Partnership for HIV-NCD Research (UVP-2) to UNZA as the prime institution. Our goals are to build UNZA’s research capacity by continuing our “sand- wich” model of PhD training and by using a similar model to develop a postdoctoral training program, with a view to creating a pipeline of independent UNZA scientists. We will also introduce new research training mechanisms and support structures at UNZA to ensure sustainability. Specifically, we will: 1. Train five (5) UNZA PhD students and four (4) UNZA postdoctoral scientists in advanced basic, clini- cal/translational, epidemiologic, and implementation sciences to address the complications and comorbidi- ties most relevant to lifelong HIV management in sub-Saharan Africa This aim focuses on training individuals. Both training programs will use our very successful “sandwich” for- mat with Africa- and U.S.-based components. Postdoctoral training is itself innovative for UNZA, and we will leverage Vanderbilt’s investments in postdoctoral research career development and intensive grant writing training through the Vanderbilt’s very successful Institute for Research Development and Ethics (VIRDE). 2. Strengthen UNZA’s capacity to train researchers, attract research funding, and generate high-impact research outputs across a broad range of HIV-NCD investigations This aim focuses on UNZA’s research training capacity. UVP-2 will support UNZA’s new postdoctoral fel- lowship mechanism by replicating key Vanderbilt career development resources at UNZA, principally those associated with successful grant applications, and three-month sabbaticals for four (4) UNZA Visiting Faculty Scholars at Vanderbilt, focused on developing collaborations and submitting grant applications. 3. Ensure and document UVP’s long-term impact under experienced UNZA leadership This aim focuses on program impact, which we will evaluate by tracking careers, grants, publications, re- search teams, and discoveries. The UNZA-Vanderbilt Partnership has proven highly efficient in catalyzing re- search capacity at UNZA. The addition of the new postdoctoral fellowship and the formation of infrastructure to increase UNZA’s grant support will usher in a new era of research growth and impact.

随着艾滋病毒抗逆转录病毒疗法的使用已扩大在撒哈拉以南非洲，数百万艾滋病毒患者 在治疗中存活了数十年，但他们正在发展慢性非通信疾病（NCD） 需要新科学和新方向的并发症，以预防，检测和治疗。认可 训练有素的本地投资可以最有效地进行NCD的投资和控制 TORS，赞比亚大学（UNZA） - HIV营养研究培训（UVP-1）的Vanderbilt合作伙伴关系 为11名赞比亚科学家提供了支持的博士培训，从事广泛的HIV-NCD研究，并已有 帮助加强了UNZA的UNZA博士学位课程和Mentalship的文化。 我们现在正在转变HIV-NCD研究（UVP-2）的UNZA-Vandanderbilt培训合作伙伴关系 UNZA作为主要机构。我们的目标是通过继续我们的“沙子 - Wich”博士培训的模型，并使用类似的模型来制定博士后培训计划， 为了创建独立UNZA科学家的管道。我们还将介绍新的研究 培训UNZA的机制和支持结构，以确保可持续性。具体来说，我们将： 1。培训五（5）个UNZA博士学位学生和四（4）个UNZA博士后科学家 CAL/转化，流行病学和实施科学，以解决并发症和合并症 与撒哈拉以南非洲的终身艾滋病毒管理最相关的关系 这个目标重点是培训个人。这两个培训计划都将使用我们非常成功的“三明治”。 与非洲和美国组件的垫子。博士后培训本身对UNZA是创新的，我们 将利用范德比尔特（Vanderbilt 通过范德比尔特（Vanderbilt）非常成功的研究发展与道德研究所（Virde）进行培训。 2。增强UNZA培训研究人员，吸引研究资金并产生高影响力的能力 大量HIV-NCD调查的研究产出 该目标重点介绍UNZA的研究培训能力。 UVP-2将支持UNZA新的博士后Fel- 通过在UNZA复制关键的Vanderbilt职业发展资源来进行低速机制，主要是 与成功的赠款申请和四（4）个UNZA访问教师的三个月休假相关 范德比尔特（Vanderbilt）的学者致力于开发合作和提交赠款申请。 3.确保并记录在经验丰富的UNZA领导下的UVP长期影响 该目标侧重于计划影响，我们将通过跟踪职业，赠款，出版物，重新评估这些影响 搜索团队和发现。事实证明，UNZA-Vanderbilt合作伙伴关系在催化重新效率方面效率很高。 UNZA的搜索能力。新的博士后奖学金和基础设施的形成 增加UNZA的赠款支持将迎来研究增长和影响的新时代。
