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.

摘要 本申请书旨在续期D43艾滋病毒研究培训补助金，题为“改善艾滋病毒护理 通过实施科学培训在肯尼亚层叠“，建立在长期存在的威斯康星大学的基础上 与肯尼亚机构的合作以及我们头4年的成功培训。2013年9月至 目前，该计划的重点是增加肯雅塔国立医院(KNH)的容量，KNH是最大的 肯尼亚的教学和转诊医院，以及卫生部(卫生部)在实施科学研究方面 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，这一连续统一体被称为 艾滋病护理层出不穷。在此期间，10名KNH Care Cascade(KNHCC)实习生获得了公共卫生硕士或博士学位 学位，并为KNH及其在卫生部和内罗毕大学(UON)的合作伙伴 朝着创建实施科学和传播研究中心迈出大胆一步 太棒了。这一续展申请将为培训、教学和研究提供关键支持 实现这一愿景所需的活动。该项目将继续由Carey Farquhar博士领导，主任 威斯康星州大学国际艾滋病研究和培训计划(IARTP)自2003年以来，约翰·金努西亚博士，负责人 克利夫兰大学研究和项目部。将提供两个互补的培训路径：1) 实施科学硕士/博士三明治课程将在美国西雅图(一年级)和#年举行 肯尼亚内罗毕(2-4年级)和2)为期1年的证书课程，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完成额外的面对面课程和讲习班 以及UON、UW电子学习课程，并完成了一个有指导的研究项目。参加培训的候选人 将在KNH或卫生部担任长期职位，可能来自医药、护理、药房或公共卫生。 我们还将提供为期3天至1周的较短时间的国内培训，覆盖更多的KNH 和卫生部专业工作人员。短期培训将建设更广泛的机构能力，促进 对关键研究概念和实践的认识，并确定未来学位和 证书培训。一个由来自世界各地的主要研究人员、教育工作者和决策者组成的指导委员会 所有4个机构(UW、KNH、UON、MOH)将与KNCC项目主任和联席主任密切合作 并接受外部培训咨询小组(TAG)的定期投入，以确保每个受训人员取得成功 以及整个计划。这一成功将转化为改善肯尼亚和 通过产生高质量和与地方相关的研究，影响国家指导方针和政策，以及 在实施科学方面培训下一代非洲研究人员。
