DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal is for years 21-25 of the Harvard AITRP, which proposes strong HIV/AIDS research training for applicants from 6 developing countries: Botswana, China, Nigeria, Senegal, Tanzania, and Thailand. The training is linked to specific sites and collaborators in these countries where active research collaborations are well established. Most of the faculty are associated with the Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH), which has extensive experience training students from developing countries. The research training is multidisciplinary, and linked to problems of prevention and treatment, including design of clinical trials, surveillance, mother-to-child transmission and chemoprophylaxis, vaccine design, drug efficacy and toxicity, drug resistance, behavioral issues, and HIV/AIDS health policy and cost effectiveness. The educational focus is on pre- and postdoctoral training in AIDS research, as well as shorter-term training in both Boston and the foreign sites. In the latter case, selected earlier AITRP trainees will be involved in south-to-south training in the developing country sites. The large number of foreign health professionals who have trained at HSPH serve, along with developing country collaborators, as a network for applicant referrals. The faculty advisors for the program have expertise in epidemiology (9), infectious diseases (7), immunology or virology (7), behavioral sciences (5), biostatistics (3), ethics (1), and international policy and economics (3). Most faculty members listed have active collaborations in one or more of the developing countries cited as partner countries, and have mentored trainees in the past. Numerous AIDS related courses, seminars, and workshops are available for trainees. Each trainee will have a principal advisor and a faculty advisory committee. Selection of trainees under a selection committee is based on previous academic performance, references, experience, and assurance that the candidates will return to participate in AIDS research in a developing country. The quality of the program will be monitored by a Training Advisory Group composed of experts from the US and from developing countries.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案针对哈佛 AITRP 第 21-25 年，建议为来自 6 个发展中国家的申请人提供强有力的艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究培训：博茨瓦纳、中国、尼日利亚、塞内加尔、坦桑尼亚和泰国。该培训与这些国家的特定站点和合作者有关，这些国家积极研究合作。大多数教师都来自哈佛大学公共卫生学院 (HSPH)，该学院在培训来自发展中国家的学生方面拥有丰富的经验。研究培训是多学科的，与预防和治疗问题有关，包括设计临床试验，监视，母亲到儿童传播和化学预防，疫苗设计，药物疗效和毒性，耐药性，行为问题以及HIV/AIDS卫生政策和成本效益。教育重点是在艾滋病研究中和博士后培训以及波士顿和外国现场较短的培训。在后一种情况下，早期选定的 AITRP 学员将参与发展中国家地点的南南培训。在 HSPH 接受过培训的大量外国卫生专业人员与发展中国家的合作者一起，作为申请人转介网络。该项目的教师顾问拥有流行病学 (9)、传染病 (7)、免疫学或病毒学 (7)、行为科学 (5)、生物统计学 (3)、伦理学 (1) 以及国际政策和经济学 (3) 的专业知识）。列出的大多数教师在一个或多个被列为伙伴国家的发展中国家都有积极的合作，并且过去曾指导过学员。为学员提供了许多与艾滋病相关的课程、研讨会和讲习班。每个实习生都会有一名首席顾问和一个教职顾问委员会。选拔委员会根据以前的学术表现、推荐信、经验以及对候选人将返回发展中国家参与艾滋病研究的保证来选拔受训人员。该计划的质量将由由美国和发展中国家的专家组成的培训咨询小组监控。
