ABSTRACT This application seeks to renew the D43 HIV Research Training grant entitled, “Improving the HIV Care Cascade in Kenya through Implementation Science Training,” by building on longstanding UW collaborations with Kenyan institutions and our first 4 years of successful training. From September 2013 to the present, the program has focused on increasing capacity at Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH), the largest teaching and referral hospital in Kenya, and the Ministry of Health (MOH), in implementation science research targeting HIV testing, linkage to care, antiretroviral initiation and viral suppression, a continuum known as the HIV care cascade. During this period, 10 KNH Care Cascade (KNHCC) trainees have earned MPH or PhD degrees and laid a solid foundation for KNH and its partners at MOH and University of Nairobi (UON) to take a bold step towards creation of an Implementation Science and Dissemination Research Center of Excellence. This renewal application will provide critical support for the training, teaching and research activities needed to realize this vision. The program will continue to be led by Dr. Carey Farquhar, Director of the UW International AIDS Research and Training Program (IARTP) since 2003, and Dr. John Kinuthia, Head of the Department of Research and Programs at KNH. Two complementary training tracks will be offered: 1) MPH/PhD sandwich program in implementation science which will take place in Seattle, USA (year 1) and in Nairobi, Kenya (years 2-4) and 2) a 1-year certificate program which will include 1 month of mentoring and relevant coursework at the UW followed by completion of additional in-person courses and workshops at KNH and UON, UW e-learning courses, and completion of a mentored research project. Candidates for the training will have permanent positions at KNH or MOH, and may be from medicine, nursing, pharmacy or public health. We will also offer shorter in-country trainings lasting from 3 days to 1 week that reach a larger number of KNH and MOH professional staff. The short-term trainings will build broader institutional capacity, promote awareness of key research concepts and practices, and identify the best candidates for future degree and certificate training. A Steering Committee comprised of leading researchers, educators and policy makers from all 4 institutions (UW, KNH, UON, MOH) will work closely with the KNHCC Program Director and Co-director and receive regular input from an external Training Advisory Group (TAG) to ensure success of each trainee and the overall program. This success will translate into improving the HIV care cascade in Kenya and the region by producing high-quality and locally relevant research, influencing national guidelines and policies, and training the next generation of African researchers in implementation science.

抽象的 本申请旨在更新 D43 HIV 研究培训补助金，题为“改善 HIV 护理” 通过实施科学培训在肯尼亚进行级联”，以华盛顿大学长期的基础为基础 与肯尼亚机构的合作以及我们前 4 年的成功培训。从2013年9月到 目前，该计划的重点是提高肯雅塔国家医院 (KNH) 的容量，该医院是最大的医院 肯尼亚的教学和转诊医院以及卫生部 (MOH) 正在实施科学研究 针对艾滋病毒检测、与护理的联系、抗逆转录病毒启动和病毒抑制的连续统一体 艾滋病毒护理级联。在此期间，10 名 KNH Care Cascade (KNHCC) 学员获得了 MPH 或博士学位 为KNH及其合作伙伴卫生部和内罗毕大学（UON）攻读博士学位奠定了坚实的基础 迈向创建实施科学与传播研究中心的大胆一步 卓越。此次更新申请将为培训、教学和研究提供重要支持 实现这一愿景所需的活动。该计划将继续由凯里·法夸尔博士领导，他是 自 2003 年起担任威斯康星大学国际艾滋病研究和培训计划 (IARTP) 的负责人，John Kinuthia 博士，负责人 KNH 研究和项目部的主任。将提供两个补充培训课程：1) 实施科学中的 MPH/PhD 三明治项目将在美国西雅图（第一年）和 肯尼亚内罗毕（2-4年级）和2）为期1年的证书课程，其中包括1个月的指导和 在华盛顿大学完成相关课程，然后在 KNH 完成额外的现场课程和研讨会 和 UON、UW 电子学习课程，并完成指导研究项目。参加培训的候选人 将在 KNH 或 MOH 担任永久职位，可能来自医学、护理、药学或公共卫生。 我们还将提供为期 3 天到 1 周的短期国内培训，覆盖更多的 KNH 和卫生部专业人员。短期培训将建设更广泛的机构能力，促进 了解关键研究概念和实践，并确定未来学位和学位的最佳候选人 证书培训。指导委员会由来自世界各地的顶尖研究人员、教育工作者和政策制定者组成 所有 4 个机构（UW、KNH、UON、MOH）将与 KNHCC 项目主任和联合主任密切合作 并定期接收外部培训咨询小组 (TAG) 的意见，以确保每位学员取得成功 以及总体方案。这一成功将转化为改善肯尼亚的艾滋病毒护理级联以及 通过开展高质量且与当地相关的研究，影响国家指导方针和政策，以及 培训下一代非洲研究人员实施科学。
