Project Summary Although significant resources have been invested in HIV programs, Uganda is still far from the universal access-to-care target of 80%. While Uganda has developed highly successful research collaborations in HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria over the last 30 years, most of this work has been focused on clinical research, and the findings have not always translated into policy and practice changes. At present, we need an urgent and comparable investment in implementation science (ImS) research to strengthen the response to the HIV epidemic. Effective service delivery by HIV/AIDS programs and engagement in care among HIV-infected individuals will allow antiretroviral medications to reach their optimal public health impact. Makerere University College of Health Sciences (MakCHS) has collaborated with the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) for over three decades on a range of scientific studies. We plan to leverage this foundation and build a multi-disciplinary team to create a world-class training program for ImS focused on delivery of HIV/AIDS services and engagement in care. Building on the findings of our planning grant, we propose a unique multi-disciplinary ImS research training program at Makerere University School of Medicine. The goals of the proposed program are to: 1) provide training and mentoring in the field of implementation science to Ugandan scholars 2) establish an ImS training site at Makerere University School of Medicine for Uganda and other institutions in Africa. The specific objectives of this training program are to: 1) strengthen the scientific leadership and expertise needed for implementation science research; 2) strengthen the sustainability of implementation science research at Makerere University by integrating ImS research into on-going capacity building programs; 3) promote collaborations between academic research institutions and faculty in Uganda and those in the US; 4) Strengthen trainee contributions to evidence-based decision making related to HIV prevention, care and treatment services through regular interactions with policy makers and HIV program implementers; 5) optimize training through utilization of additional available resources in Uganda (including projects funded by the NIH, PEPFAR and other international agencies); 6) strengthen research capacity in Uganda by helping trainees to integrate into Ugandan institutions and pursue independently-supported scientific careers; 7) create a Centre of Excellence for ImS at MakCHS to serve as a training site for other institutions in Africa. The proposed ImS training program will build on existing relationships between scientists at MakCHS and its affiliated HIV programs (medical), the Makerere University College of Humanities and Social Sciences (non-medical), UCSF and UCB. During our five year program, we anticipate training Ugandan trainees as follows: 2 candidates in master’s degree programs at UCSF, 8 candidates in master’s degree programs at Makerere University, 4 candidates in long-term non-degree training (including post-doc training), 20 candidates in a modular certificate program and over 700 candidates in short-term non-degree programs. 1

项目摘要 尽管在艾滋病毒项目上投入了大量资源，但乌干达仍远未达到 普遍获得医疗服务的目标是80%。虽然乌干达已经开发出了非常成功的研究 艾滋病、结核病和疟疾方面的合作在过去的30年里，这些工作的大部分都集中在 临床研究，结果并不总是转化为政策和实践的变化。目前，我们 需要对实施科学(IMS)研究进行紧急和可比的投资，以加强 应对艾滋病毒流行。通过艾滋病毒/艾滋病方案和参与护理提供有效的服务 将允许抗逆转录病毒药物对公共卫生产生最佳影响。 Makerere大学健康科学学院(MakCHS)与加州大学合作， 旧金山(加州大学旧金山分校)在一系列科学研究上花了30多年的时间。我们计划利用这一点 建立和建立一支多学科团队，为IMS创建世界级的培训计划，专注于 提供艾滋病毒/艾滋病服务和参与护理。根据我们的规划拨款结果，我们 在Makerere大学医学院提出一个独特的多学科IMS研究培训计划。 拟议方案的目标是：1)在执行领域提供培训和指导 向乌干达学者介绍科学2)在Makerere大学医学院建立IMS培训基地 乌干达和非洲的其他机构。本培训计划的具体目标是：1)加强 实施科学研究所需的科学领导和专门知识；2)加强可持续性 通过将IMS研究整合到持续能力中，在Makerere大学实施科学研究 建立项目；3)促进乌干达学术研究机构和教师之间的合作 4)加强学员对艾滋病毒相关循证决策的贡献 通过与政策制定者和艾滋病毒方案的定期互动提供预防、护理和治疗服务 实施者；5)通过利用乌干达的额外可用资源优化培训(包括 由NIH、PEPFAR和其他国际机构资助的项目)；6)加强研究能力 乌干达通过帮助学员融入乌干达的机构并追求独立资助 科学事业；7)在MakCHS创建IMS英才中心，作为其他人员的培训场所 非洲的机构。拟议的IMS培训计划将建立在科学家之间现有关系的基础上 在MakCHS及其附属的艾滋病毒项目(医学)，Makerere大学人文学院和 社会科学(非医学)、加州大学旧金山分校和UCB。在我们的五年计划中，我们预计将培训乌干达人 实习生如下：加州大学旧金山分校硕士研究生2名，硕士研究生8名 Makerere大学课程，4名长期非学位培训(包括博士后培训)候选人， 20名考生参加模块证书课程，700多名考生参加短期非学位课程。 1
