Project Abstract/Summary The proposed “Child Mental Health in HIV-impacted Low-resource settings in Developing countries: Global Research Fellowship” (CHILD-GRF) training program will provide state-of-the-art methods training, mentoring, and “hands-on” research experience to promising early career researchers committed to research careers focused on addressing HIV prevention and the serious burden of child and adolescent mental health (CAMH) in the context of HIV/AIDS. The overall expectation is to increase, strengthen, and sustain the capacity of research institutions in Uganda, a sub-Saharan African (SSA) country heavily affected by HIV/ AIDS. CHILD- GRF is guided by: Aim 1. Identify and train a cadre of 18 SSA scientists from Uganda (6 per year over 3 consecutive recruitment cycles) capable of serving as a Principal Investigators (PIs) on extramurally funded studies focused on combination HIV prevention (CHP) addressing persistent poverty, community violence, co- occurring CAMH problems, and HIV care and prevention in HIV-impacted communities. The program will establish and provide: (a) multi-disciplinary training in substantive areas and methods for identification and treatment of CAMH in HIV-impacted low-resource settings in developing countries, applying interventions that have been culturally adapted to SSA along with training in methods focused on SSA context through a 3-year summer intensive training at Washington University in St. Louis (WUSTL), led by multidisciplinary faculty, (b) an intensive mentorship program and training infrastructure that fosters long-term research collaboration with senior researchers and mentors from the global north and the global south; (c) hands-on learning opportunities through activities between summers, including site visits to NIH funded research projects and centers focused on HIV prevention and mental health interventions in communities heavily impacted by HIV/AIDS; (d) funding for pilot studies; and (e) technical support and peer review for pilot studies, manuscript preparations, and grant applications for larger studies. Aim 2. Bring together a network of committed mentors from the global north and the global south to ensure quality training for promising new investigators from Uganda who would focus their research on culturally-congruent interventions addressing HIV with an emphasis on co-existing CAMH and CHP with potential implications for LMICs, including SSA. Aim 3: Delineate key factors that underlie successful mentorship and training of new investigators from Uganda, with potential implications for new investigators focused on CAMH and HIV-prevention interventions in LMICs, including SSA. CHILD-GRF has a structured, 6- week intensive advanced summer training program. Each fellow will be paired with a mentor from WUSTL and Uganda. A rigorous program evaluation will track individual fellow progress and program success. This application is aligned with Fogarty's strategic priority of strengthening the scientific capacity of institutions in LMICs to conduct HIV research relevant to the evolving HIV epidemic in their country.

项目摘要/摘要 拟议的“发展中国家受艾滋病毒影响的低资源环境中的儿童心理健康：全球 研究奖学金”（儿童-GRF）培训计划将提供最先进的方法培训，指导， 和“动手”的研究经验，以有前途的早期职业研究人员致力于研究事业 侧重于解决艾滋病毒预防和儿童和青少年心理健康的严重负担（CAMH） 在艾滋病毒/艾滋病的背景下。总的期望是增加、加强和维持 乌干达是一个受艾滋病毒/艾滋病严重影响的撒哈拉以南非洲国家。儿童- 全球成果框架的指导原则是：目标1。从乌干达确定并培训18名撒南非洲科学家骨干（每年6名，超过3年） 连续招聘周期），能够担任主要研究者（PI）， 研究重点是艾滋病毒预防（CHP），解决持续的贫困，社区暴力，共同 发生的CAMH问题，以及受艾滋病毒影响社区的艾滋病毒护理和预防。该计划将 建立并提供：（a）实质性领域和识别方法方面的多学科培训 在发展中国家受艾滋病毒影响的低资源环境中治疗CAMH， 已经在文化上适应了SSA沿着通过为期3年的培训， 圣路易斯华盛顿大学（WUSTL）的暑期强化培训，由多学科教师领导，（B） 一个密集的导师计划和培训基础设施，促进长期的研究合作， 来自全球北方和全球南方的高级研究人员和导师;（c）实践学习机会 通过夏季之间的活动，包括对NIH资助的研究项目和中心的现场访问， 在受艾滋病毒/艾滋病严重影响的社区开展艾滋病毒预防和心理健康干预措施;（d）供资 （e）为试点研究、手稿编写和赠款提供技术支持和同行审查 申请更大的研究。目标二。汇集来自全球北方的忠诚导师网络， 全球南部确保对来自乌干达的有前途的新调查人员进行高质量的培训， 研究针对艾滋病毒的文化一致的干预措施，重点是共存的CAMH和 CHP对中低收入国家（包括撒哈拉以南非洲）具有潜在影响。目标3：描述成功的关键因素 对来自乌干达的新调查员进行辅导和培训，可能对新调查员产生影响 重点是在低收入和中等收入国家，包括撒哈拉以南非洲，采取预防艾滋病毒/艾滋病的干预措施。儿童GRF有一个结构化的，6- 一周密集的高级夏季培训计划。每个研究员将与来自WUSTL的导师配对， 乌干达严格的计划评估将跟踪个人的进展和计划的成功。这 应用是符合福格蒂的战略重点，加强机构的科学能力， * 中低收入国家开展与本国艾滋病毒流行病演变相关的艾滋病毒研究。
