Project Abstract/Summary The proposed “Child Mental Health in HIV-impacted Low-resource settings in Developing countries: Global Research Fellowship” (CHILD-GRF) training program will provide state-of-the-art methods training, mentoring, and “hands-on” research experience to promising early career researchers committed to research careers focused on addressing HIV prevention and the serious burden of child and adolescent mental health (CAMH) in the context of HIV/AIDS. The overall expectation is to increase, strengthen, and sustain the capacity of research institutions in Uganda, a sub-Saharan African (SSA) country heavily affected by HIV/ AIDS. CHILD- GRF is guided by: Aim 1. Identify and train a cadre of 18 SSA scientists from Uganda (6 per year over 3 consecutive recruitment cycles) capable of serving as a Principal Investigators (PIs) on extramurally funded studies focused on combination HIV prevention (CHP) addressing persistent poverty, community violence, co- occurring CAMH problems, and HIV care and prevention in HIV-impacted communities. The program will establish and provide: (a) multi-disciplinary training in substantive areas and methods for identification and treatment of CAMH in HIV-impacted low-resource settings in developing countries, applying interventions that have been culturally adapted to SSA along with training in methods focused on SSA context through a 3-year summer intensive training at Washington University in St. Louis (WUSTL), led by multidisciplinary faculty, (b) an intensive mentorship program and training infrastructure that fosters long-term research collaboration with senior researchers and mentors from the global north and the global south; (c) hands-on learning opportunities through activities between summers, including site visits to NIH funded research projects and centers focused on HIV prevention and mental health interventions in communities heavily impacted by HIV/AIDS; (d) funding for pilot studies; and (e) technical support and peer review for pilot studies, manuscript preparations, and grant applications for larger studies. Aim 2. Bring together a network of committed mentors from the global north and the global south to ensure quality training for promising new investigators from Uganda who would focus their research on culturally-congruent interventions addressing HIV with an emphasis on co-existing CAMH and CHP with potential implications for LMICs, including SSA. Aim 3: Delineate key factors that underlie successful mentorship and training of new investigators from Uganda, with potential implications for new investigators focused on CAMH and HIV-prevention interventions in LMICs, including SSA. CHILD-GRF has a structured, 6- week intensive advanced summer training program. Each fellow will be paired with a mentor from WUSTL and Uganda. A rigorous program evaluation will track individual fellow progress and program success. This application is aligned with Fogarty's strategic priority of strengthening the scientific capacity of institutions in LMICs to conduct HIV research relevant to the evolving HIV epidemic in their country.

项目摘要/摘要 拟议的“发展中国家受艾滋病毒影响的低资源环境中的儿童心理健康：全球 研究奖学金“(CHILD-GRF)培训计划将提供最先进的方法培训、指导、 为致力于研究事业的有前途的早期职业研究人员提供实践研究经验 重点解决艾滋病毒预防和儿童和青少年心理健康的严重负担(CAMH) 在艾滋病毒/艾滋病方面。总体预期是增加、加强和保持以下能力 乌干达是一个受艾滋病毒/艾滋病严重影响的撒哈拉以南非洲(SSA)国家。孩子- 全球气候变化框架的指导原则是：目标1.确定和培训一支由乌干达18名SSA科学家组成的骨干队伍(每年6人，超过3人 连续征聘周期)能够担任外部资助的首席调查员 研究的重点是艾滋病毒综合预防(CHP)，以解决持续的贫困、社区暴力、共同 在受艾滋病毒影响的社区中发生的CAMH问题以及艾滋病毒的护理和预防。该计划将 建立和提供：(A)实质性领域和方法方面的多学科培训 在发展中国家受艾滋病毒影响的低资源环境中治疗CAMH，采用以下干预措施 已经在文化上适应了SSA，并通过为期3年的SSA环境重点方法培训 在圣路易斯华盛顿大学(WUSTL)进行暑期强化培训，由多学科教员领导，(B) 密集的指导计划和培训基础设施，可促进与 来自全球北方和全球南方的高级研究人员和导师；(C)实践学习机会 通过暑假期间的活动，包括实地访问NIH资助的研究项目和重点关注的中心 关于受艾滋病毒/艾滋病严重影响的社区的艾滋病毒预防和精神卫生干预措施；(D)供资 用于试点研究；(E)为试点研究、手稿准备和赠款提供技术支助和同行审查 申请更大规模的研究。目标2.汇聚来自全球北方的忠诚导师网络，并 全球南方确保为来自乌干达的有前途的新调查人员提供高质量的培训，他们将把重点放在 针对艾滋病毒的文化一致性干预研究，重点是共存的CAMH和 CHP对包括SSA在内的LMIC的潜在影响。目标3：描述成功的关键因素 指导和培训来自乌干达的新调查员，对新调查员可能产生的影响 重点是低收入国家卫生保健和艾滋病毒预防干预措施，包括SSA。儿童-GRF有一个结构化的，6- 一周的高级暑期强化培训计划。每个研究员将与来自WUSTL的一名导师配对，并 乌干达。严格的项目评估将跟踪个别研究员的进展和项目成功。这 应用与Fogarty的战略优先事项保持一致，即加强机构的科学能力 LMIC开展与其国家不断演变的艾滋病毒流行相关的艾滋病毒研究。
