DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Makerere University Medical School is one of the premier institutions carrying out medical training and research on the African continent Over the last two decades a strong network of research collaborations between Makerere University and other institutions from around the world has evolved. These collaborations have tremendously increased the research volume as well as benefited the local communities where most of the research is conducted. However, the design processes of the research agenda and the determination of research priorities have remained largely the domain of the scientific research Investigators from the academic community with limited input from local communities We propose to enhance the level of local community participation and appreciation of biomedical or behavioral research carried out from within their communities through holding a series of meetings, seminars and workshops. We will involve community representatives, local government officials, the different research institutions and post - doctoral students from Makerere University and the Ministry of Health officials in these meetings and workshops. We plan to employ a Community based participatory research(CBPR) specialist and use CBPR methods to understand the community needs, health disparities, priorities and community priority areas for research. We will also explore the current techniques used for dissemination of research information to the different community strata; using a SWOT analysis to identify the gaps existing within the current research development and dissemination techniques between the academic and local community partnerships. We will then summarize the findings from this CBPR exercise and highlight the most sustainable communication strategies for strengthening linkages between research scientists with the local communities. A symposium will then be held where we will present the community research priorities and present innovative strategies for dissemination of research information to the Academic community and the local community representatives. This grant provides a unique opportunity for strengthening the existing academic - community partnerships in Uganda and providing a channel through which the local community can be more involved in setting the research agenda, support scientific investigators in designing community - needed research projects and create a sustainable mechanism for dissemination of information. Ultimately, this relationship will make the academic community more relevant to the local communities and will lead to research that better addresses maternal, child and community health issues relevant to the community. This in turn will contribute to the reduction of pediatric and maternal morbidity/ mortality and improve overall health services in the community. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The proposed research will be relevant to public health because most of the research activities currently going on are mainly answering questions raised through Investigator - driven initiatives. This research will particularly bridge the gap between the academic and local communities especially in setting the research agenda in pediatric and maternal health questions. This will in the long term bring scientists to focus more on scientific questions which are priorities to the specific communities. Information gathered about the best communication strategies to link the academic and local communities will be extremely helpful in guiding the policy makers to channel the minimal available resources into more cost - effective strategies. The overall outcome of this research will greatly enhance the body of knowledge about interventions for reducing pediatric and maternal HIV by documentation of research priority areas in pediatric and maternal HIV prevention, as well as getting community input in identifying priority areas of research.

描述（由申请人提供）：在过去的二十年中，Makerere大学医学院是对非洲大陆进行医学培训和研究的主要机构之一。这些合作大大增加了研究量，并使大多数研究的当地社区受益。但是，研究议程的设计过程和研究优先级的确定在很大程度上仍然是学术界的科学研究研究者的领域，当地社区的投入有限，我们建议通过举办一系列会议，Seminars和Seminars和Workshops和Workshops和Workshops和Workshops和Workshops和Workshops和Seminars和Workshops和Seminars和Workshops和Seminars和Workshops和Seminars和Workshops和Workshops和Seminars和Workshops和Workshops和praviceal Conseard的当地社区参与水平。我们将与社区代表，地方政府官员，不同的研究机构和职位 - 来自Makerere大学和卫生部官员的博士生学生参加这些会议和研讨会。我们计划采用基于社区的参与性研究（CBPR）专家，并使用CBPR方法来了解社区需求，健康差异，优先事项和社区优先领域的研究领域。我们还将探讨用于将研究信息传播给不同社区阶层的当前技术；使用SWOT分析来确定学术和地方社区伙伴关系之间当前研究开发和传播技术中存在的差距。然后，我们将总结此CBPR练习中的发现，并强调最可持续的沟通策略，以加强研究科学家与当地社区之间的联系。然后将举行研讨会，我们将介绍社区研究的重点，并提出创新的策略，以向学术界和当地社区代表传播研究信息。该赠款提供了一个独特的机会，可以加强乌干达现有的学术社区伙伴关系，并提供一个渠道，通过该渠道可以通过该渠道更多地参与制定研究议程，支持科学研究人员设计社区 - 需要研究项目，并为信息传播提供可持续的机制。最终，这种关系将使学术界与当地社区更加相关，并将导致更好地解决与社区相关的母亲，儿童和社区健康问题的研究。反过来，这将有助于降低儿科和母体发病率/死亡率，并改善社区的整体卫生服务。 公共卫生相关性：拟议的研究将与公共卫生有关，因为当前正在进行的大多数研究活动主要是通过调查员驱动的计划回答提出的问题。这项研究将特别弥合学术和当地社区之间的差距，尤其是在设定小儿和孕产妇健康问题的研究议程时。从长远来看，这将使科学家更多地专注于科学问题，这是特定社区的优先事项。收集的有关将学术和当地社区联系起来的最佳沟通策略收集的信息将非常有帮助，以指导决策者将最小的可用资源引导到更多的成本 - 有效策略中。这项研究的总体结果将大大增强有关减少儿科和孕产妇艾滋病毒干预措施的知识，通过记录小儿和孕产妇预防的研究优先领域，并在识别研究优先领域的社区投入。
