The Georgian nongovernmental organization Partnership for Research and Action for Health proposed to partner with the Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University (TSU), in collaboration with the State University of New York Downstate Medical Center and the State University of New York Albany School of Public Health (UAlbany SPH) along with other New York State institutions to build capacity in conducting implementation science research that will address gaps in HIV prevention and care in Georgia. This effort builds on the long and productive association between Georgian universities and public health institutions, SUNY-DMC and UAlbany SPH, within the framework of the Fogarty funded New York State International Training and Research Program (NYS-ITRP) training grant that has been active in Georgia since 1996. The goal is to develop adequate capacity to better understand key barriers to HIV testing/diagnosis and linkage to care among key populations and to prepare an evidence base to improve the national response to HIV. Proposed objectives includes:1) Provide doctoral training in public health and implementation science to 10 Georgians, who will be trained in the US and in Georgia; 2). Provide short-term training to 30 trainees in sciences related to implementation research annually; 3) build institutional capacity at TSU through doctoral course improvement and faculty training. With progress in these interventions, it may be possible to dramatically reduce HIV incidence in a country of the former Soviet Union, one of the few regions in the world with rising HIV rates. The proposed structure, topics, and focus were selected based on a rigorous needs assessment conducted within the framework of a Fogarty supported planning grant. These topics align fully with UNAIDS’s key recommendations to policy makers on the investments needed to end the global AIDS epidemic and will be built on an already funded CDC initiative to eliminate hepatitis C in Georgia. The program’s proposed scientific topics also align fully with the priorities laid out in New York State’s “Plan to End the AIDS Epidemic.” This alignment of priorities, as well as the underlying similarities in the HIV epidemics in the Republic of Georgia and New York State, creates a unique opportunity to incorporate a meaningful experiential learning component as part of the proposed training program. This addresses a high priority topic from the NIH strategy on reducing the incidence of HIV/AIDS by implementing strategies to improve HIV testing and entry into prevention services.

格鲁吉亚非政府组织健康研究和行动伙伴关系 提议与Ivane Javakhishvili第比利斯州立大学（大津）合作， 与纽约州立大学下州医学中心和纽约州立大学合作， 纽约奥尔巴尼公共卫生学院（UAlbany SPH）沿着其他纽约州 各机构开展执行科学研究的能力建设， 格鲁吉亚艾滋病毒预防和护理方面的差距。这一努力建立在长期且富有成效的基础上 格鲁吉亚大学和公共卫生机构之间的协会，SUNY-DMC和 在Fogarty资助的纽约州国际培训框架内， 自1996年以来一直活跃在格鲁吉亚的纽约州研究和研究计划（NYS-ITRP）培训赠款。 目标是发展足够的能力，以更好地了解艾滋病毒的主要障碍 检测/诊断以及与关键人群护理的联系，并准备证据库 改善国家对艾滋病毒的反应。建议的目标包括：1）提供博士学位 向10名格鲁吉亚人提供公共卫生和执行科学方面的培训， 美国和格鲁吉亚; 2）。向30名受训人员提供短期科学培训， 每年进行执行研究; 3）通过博士课程在大津建立机构能力 改进和师资培训。随着这些干预措施的进展， 在前苏联的一个国家， 艾滋病感染率上升的地区。拟议的结构、主题和重点如下： 根据在Fogarty框架内进行的严格需求评估选择 规划补助金。这些主题完全符合艾滋病规划署的主要建议， 政策制定者对结束全球艾滋病流行所需的投资，并将建立在 一个已经资助的疾病预防控制中心的倡议，以消除丙型肝炎在格鲁吉亚。该计划提出， 科学主题也完全符合纽约州“结束贫困计划”中规定的优先事项。 艾滋病流行病”。这种优先事项的一致性，以及艾滋病毒/艾滋病 格鲁吉亚共和国和纽约州的疫情，创造了一个独特的机会， 在拟议的培训中纳入有意义的体验式学习内容 程序.这解决了NIH战略中关于减少以下疾病发生率的一个高度优先主题： 通过执行改善艾滋病毒检测和接受预防服务的战略，防治艾滋病毒/艾滋病。
