PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Morbidity and mortality among people living with HIV/AIDS remains unacceptably high in sub-Saharan Africa, largely due to the parallel challenges of poverty and food insecurity. Yet, health professionals are not trained to include sustainable development solutions as part of their armamentarium to address poor HIV health outcomes. The Sustainable Development for HIV Health (SD4H) Training Program provides intensive graduate training for Kenyan PhD and MSc candidates with a focus on improving HIV health outcomes through innovative food security and poverty alleviation interventions. We aspire to create a cadre of graduate trainees who will become the next generation of HIV researchers with transdisciplinary expertise in public health, HIV health, and development sciences in order to help address the vicious cycle of poverty, food insecurity and poor HIV health The SD4H is a consortium among Kenyan and United States (US) institutions including Maseno University (MU), the Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI), and the University of California Global Health Institute (UCGHI). Strengths and innovations of our program include: 1) A unified consortium that offers synergy by capitalizing upon MU, KEMRI and UCGHI's ability to provide exceptional training and research support; 2) A team with extensive experience in training and building local capacity including the 25 years of highly- successful research and training collaboration between KEMRI and UCSF investigators; 3) Exceptional transdisciplinary team of faculty mentors with expertise in diverse disciplines not typically found in a single training program including: public health, medicine, HIV/AIDS, nursing, economics, agriculture and food security, nutrition, environmental sciences, gender studies, development and strategic studies, and biological and social sciences; 4) A proven mentor training program designed to strengthen mentoring capacity at LMIC institutions; and 5) A team mentoring approach, with a primary mentor (usually from Maseno University) to act as the trainee's supervisor, that enhances and supports transdisciplinary research mentorship to advance careers and scientific discovery. During the five-year program, we will train 4 PhD and 9 Master's students, as well as additional MU students who participate in the annual SD4H workshops and on-line courses, and faculty who attend the mentoring development workshop. PhD and Master's students will receive most of their education at MU, with doctoral students spending a year at UCSF to complete the year-long Advanced Training in Clinical Research certificate, and Masters students taking part in online courses at UCSF and UCGHI. In addition, doctoral students will have the options to spend a quarter at UC Davis or take additional SD4H courses at UCSF. All students will participate in mentored research. Upon completion of the SD4H program, Kenyan scientists will successfully engage in producing evidence-based SD4H research to improve health among HIV-infected and affected populations, will be trained and supported to mentor the next generation of junior scientists in this field, and will play a critical role in policy and community health practices locally, regionally and internationally.

项目概要/摘要 在撒哈拉以南非洲地区，艾滋病毒/艾滋病感染者的发病率和死亡率仍然高得令人无法接受， 主要是由于贫困和粮食不安全的并行挑战。然而，卫生专业人员并未接受过以下方面的培训： 将可持续发展解决方案作为解决艾滋病毒健康问题的武器库的一部分 结果。艾滋病毒健康可持续发展 (SD4H) 培训计划为毕业生提供强化培训 为肯尼亚博士和理学硕士候选人提供培训，重点是通过以下方式改善艾滋病毒健康结果： 创新的粮食安全和扶贫干预措施。我们立志打造一支研究生实习生骨干队伍 他们将成为下一代艾滋病毒研究人员，在公共卫生、艾滋病毒等领域拥有跨学科专业知识 健康和发展科学，以帮助解决贫困、粮食不安全和 艾滋病毒健康状况不佳 SD4H 是肯尼亚和美国 (US) 机构之间的一个联盟，其中包括 马塞诺大学 (MU)、肯尼亚医学研究所 (KEMRI) 和加州大学 全球健康研究所（UCGHI）。 我们计划的优势和创新包括： 1) 一个统一的联盟，通过以下方式提供协同作用： 利用 MU、KEMRI 和 UCGHI 提供卓越培训和研究支持的能力； 2）A 团队在培训和建设本地能力方面拥有丰富的经验，包括 25 年的高度 KEMRI 和 UCSF 研究人员之间成功的研究和培训合作； 3) 卓越 跨学科的教师导师团队，具有不同学科的专业知识，通常在单一学科中找不到 培训项目包括：公共卫生、医学、艾滋病毒/艾滋病、护理、经济学、农业和食品 安全、营养、环境科学、性别研究、发展和战略研究以及生物 和社会科学； 4) 经过验证的导师培训计划，旨在加强中低收入国家的指导能力 机构； 5) 团队指导方法，由主要导师（通常来自马塞诺大学）负责 作为实习生的导师，加强和支持跨学科研究指导，以推进 职业和科学发现。五年计划中，我们将培养博士生4名，硕士生9名， 以及参加年度 SD4H 研讨会和在线课程的其他 MU 学生以及教师 参加指导发展研讨会的人。博士生和硕士生将获得大部分 密苏里大学的教育，博士生在加州大学旧金山分校学习一年，完成为期一年的高级课程 临床研究证书培训，硕士生参加加州大学旧金山分校和 UCGHI。此外，博士生可以选择在加州大学戴维斯分校学习四分之一的课程或额外学习 UCSF 的 SD4H 课程。所有学生都将参与指导性研究。完成 SD4H 后 计划中，肯尼亚科学家将成功开展基于证据的 SD4H 研究，以改善 艾滋病毒感染者和受影响人群的健康状况，将得到培训和支持，以指导下一个 该领域的一代年轻科学家，将在政策和社区卫生实践中发挥关键作用 本地、区域和国际。
