ABSTRACT HIV infection continues to take a severe toll on Mozambique, which underscores the need for investments in building research capacity to help combat the epidemic. To address this need, we propose to establish the University of Pittsburgh (Pitt)-Mozambique HIV Research Training Program (Pitt-MozHRTP). The purpose of the program is to build research capacity at two sister institutions of the Mozambique National Institute of Health: the Polana Caniço Health Research Center (CISPOC) in Maputo, the capital city, and the Beira Operations Research Center (CIOB), which is in the port city of Beira in central Mozambique. CISPOC and CIOB both have growing HIV research portfolios and a commensurate need for increased research capacity. The research focus of our program is COVID-19, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes in people with HIV (CCD-PWH), all areas of enormous clinical and public health importance. Pitt-MozHRTP training sites will be at Pitt and the University of Stellenbosch (SU) in Cape Town, South Africa. The program will be directed by Dr. Lee Harrison at Pitt; Dr. Edna Viegas, who is responsible for overseeing research at CISPOC; and Dr. Jean Nachega at SU. A broad array of degree (both PhD and master's) training opportunities will be available in epidemiology and biostatistics, and laboratory sciences. In addition, we will offer post-doctoral fellowships for exceptional candidates who have recently completed their doctoral training. We will also use workshops conducted at CISPOC to augment research capacity at both CISPOC and CIOB. The program includes a multidisciplinary group of experienced mentors and excellent training opportunities at each site. Each trainee will have at least two mentors, one in Mozambique and another at the training site. The inclusion of SU provides substantial opportunities for “south-to-south” training between Mozambique and neighboring South Africa. In addition, the more experienced CISPOC will assist in building research capacity at CIOB. Trainees will have access to all the substantial resources of the participating institutions. Over the five-year funding period, we plan to train 6 masters students, 3 PhD students, and 5 post-doctoral fellows. In addition, ten trainees will attend the Johns Hopkins Graduate Summer Institute of Epidemiology and Biostatistics and we will conduct nine workshops at CISPOC. In summary, the Pitt-MozHRTP will make major contributions to building research capacity in the area CCD-PWH in Mozambique by providing a broad array of exceptional training opportunities.

抽象的 艾滋病毒感染继续对莫桑比克造成严重损失，这突显了对投资的需求 在建立研究能力方面有助于应对流行病。为了满足这一需求，我们建议建立 匹兹堡大学（PITT）-Mozambique HIV研究培训计划（Pitt-Mozhrtp）。目的 该计划是在莫桑比克国家研究所的两个姊妹机构中建立研究能力 健康：马普托，首都和比拉 运营研究中心（CIOB），位于莫桑比克中部港口城市贝拉。顺式和 CIOB都已经成长为HIV研究组合，并且对增加研究能力的需求相称。 我们计划的研究重点是艾滋病毒患者的Covid-19，心血管疾病和糖尿病 （CCD-PWH），巨大的临床和公共健康重要性。 Pitt-Mozhrtp培训网站将在 皮特和南非开普敦的斯泰伦博斯大学（SU）。该计划将由博士指导。 皮特（Pitt）的李·哈里森（Lee Harrison）；埃德娜·维加斯（Edna Viegas）博士，负责监督顺式研究的研究；和让博士 纳赫加（Nachega）在苏（Su）广泛的学位（博士和硕士）培训机会将提供 流行病学和生物统计学以及实验室科学。此外，我们还将提供博士后奖学金 最近已经完成了博士培训的杰出候选人。我们还将使用研讨会 在CISPOC进行，以增强顺式和CIOB的研究能力。该程序包括 每个站点的多学科团队和经验丰富的导师和出色的培训机会。每个学员 至少有两名导师，一名在莫桑比克，另一名在培训地点。包括su 为莫桑比克和邻近南方之间的“南到南”培训提供了大量机会 非洲。此外，经验丰富的CISPOC将有助于在CIOB建立研究能力。学员 将可以访问参与机构的所有大量资源。在五年资金中 时期，我们计划培训6名硕士学生，3名博士学位学生和5名博士后研究员。另外，十 学员将参加约翰·霍普金斯大学毕业生夏季流行病学与生物统计学研究所，我们 将在Cispoc进行九个讲习班。总而言之，Pitt-Mozhrtp将为 通过提供广泛的特殊性，在莫桑比克的CCD-PWH地区建立研究能力 培训机会。
