UIC/AJCU Training Program in Advanced Research Methods and Translational Science

与世界上许多艾滋病毒感染率正在下降的地区不同，印度尼西亚正在经历一场加速的艾滋病毒感染。 艾滋病流行病影响到地理跨度约为18，000的多个弱势群体 有人居住的岛屿。迫切需要研究和研究培训，以确定和检验最佳政策 以及扭转这一趋势的方法。为了应对这一挑战，我们建议制定和实施 “UIC/AJCU高级研究方法和转化科学培训计划。该计划将 需要雅加达Atma Jaya天主教大学（AJCU）和公共学院之间的合作努力 健康，伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校。该方案旨在建立AJCU的艾滋病研究能力， 培训一支训练有素的印度尼西亚研究人员队伍，利用 先进的研究方法和转化科学，并有助于AJCU的进一步发展， 成为印度尼西亚的卓越研究中心。其根本目标是培养下一代 艾滋病毒研究调查人员，他们可以提供指导国家政策所需的创新研究， 成功解决艾滋病毒问题。该计划将达到三个目标：（1）培养一个高层次的干部， 为印度尼西亚调查人员准备了进行创新研究所需的研究技能， 就艾滋病社会政策、干预方案和社会/医疗服务提供意见;（2）进一步建立 在AJCU及其艾滋病研究中心（ARC）的机构艾滋病毒研究能力;和（3）促进 通过研究培训，AJCU的发展成为艾滋病毒研究的卓越中心 为印度尼西亚提供研究培训。将提供艾滋病研究培训和研究机会 旨在培养下一代印度尼西亚艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究人员。超过五个- 一年期间，我们将招募和培训艾滋病毒研究：2名博士生在公共卫生谁将承担 并完成所有要求的博士，3博士后，2信息学证书课程的学员，和4短- 短期（3-4个月）学员。所有计划学员将被要求选择一个领域的方法 他们将需要发展或加强他们的研究技能的能力。他们还将 在印度尼西亚进行研究。方案赞助的先进研究方法讲习班 在两所大学举行的转化科学和AJCU系列讲座将告知和/或更新 教师/研究调查员和学生的方法技能。七项计划战略将建立艾滋病 AJCU的研究能力，并加强其发展成为艾滋病毒卓越中心 研究和培训的群岛。该计划符合NIH确定的首要优先事项， 提供进行高优先级艾滋病毒/艾滋病或艾滋病毒/艾滋病相关研究所需的劳动力研究培训 research.该项目的长期效益在于其对改善艾滋病毒预防、治疗、护理 为印度尼西亚服务。

Unlike many parts of the world where HIV rates are decreasing, Indonesia is experiencing an accelerating AIDS epidemic that affects multiple vulnerable populations across a geographic span of approximately 18,000 inhabited islands. Research and research training is desperately needed to identify and test the best policies and methods to reverse this trend. To help address this challenge, we propose to develop and implement the “UIC/AJCU Training Program in Advanced Research Methods and Translational Science.” The program will entail a collaborative effort between Atma Jaya Catholic University (AJCU) in Jakarta and the School of Public Health, University of Illinois at Chicago. The program is designed to build AIDS research capacity at AJCU, train a cadre of highly prepared Indonesian investigators to conduct innovative HIV/AIDS research using advanced research methods and translational science, and contribute to AJCU's further development toward becoming a Center of Research Excellence for Indonesia. Its underlying goal is to train a next generation of HIV research investigators who can provide the innovative research needed to guide the country's policies and programming in successfully addressing HIV. The program will meet 3 aims: (1) To train a cadre of highly prepared Indonesian Investigators with the research skills needed to conduct innovative research that will advise HIV social policy, intervention programming, and social/medical services; (2) To further build the institutional HIV research capacity at AJCU and its AIDS Research Center (ARC); and (3) To contribute through research training to AJCU's development toward becoming a Center of Excellence in HIV research and research training for Indonesia. A mix of AIDS research training and research opportunities will be offered that is designed to produce a next generation of Indonesian HIV/AIDS research investigators. Over the five- year period, we will recruit and train in HIV research: 2 doctoral students in public health who will undertake and complete all requirements for a PhD, 3 post-docs, 2 Informatics Certificate Program trainees, and 4 short- term (3-4 month) trainees. All program trainees will be required to select an area of methodological competence for which they will be required to develop or strengthen their research skills. They also will be required to conduct their studies in Indonesia. Program-sponsored workshops in advanced research methods and translational science held at both universities and also a lecture series at AJCU will inform and/or update faculty/research investigators' and students' methodological skills. Seven program strategies will build AIDS research capacity at AJCU and also enhance its development in becoming a Center of Excellence in HIV research and training for the archipelago. The program meets the NIH-identified overarching priority of providing the workforce research training required to conduct High Priority HIV/AIDS or HIV/AIDS-related research. The long-term benefits of the program lie in its impact on improving HIV prevention, treatment, care, and services for Indonesia.
