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与行动伙伴关系 提议与第比利斯国立大学 (TSU) 合作 与纽约州立大学下州医疗中心和纽约州立大学 纽约奥尔巴尼公共卫生学院 (UAlbany SPH) 以及纽约州其他学校 机构开展实施科学研究的能力建设，以解决 格鲁吉亚艾滋病毒预防和护理方面的差距。这项努力建立在长期而富有成效的基础上 格鲁吉亚大学和公共卫生机构协会、SUNY-DMC 和 UAlbany SPH，在 Fogarty 资助的纽约州国际培训框架内 和研究计划 (NYS-ITRP) 培训补助金自 1996 年以来一直在佐治亚州活跃。 目标是培养足够的能力，以更好地了解艾滋病毒的主要障碍 测试/诊断以及与重点人群护理的联系并准备证据基础 改善国家艾滋病毒应对措施。拟议的目标包括：1）提供博士生 为 10 名格鲁吉亚人提供公共卫生和实施科学方面的培训，他们将接受 美国和乔治亚州； 2）。为30名学员提供科学相关的短期培训 每年进行实施研究； 3) 通过博士课程建设托国立大学的机构能力 改进和师资培训。随着这些干预措施的进展，有可能 大幅降低前苏联国家的艾滋病毒感染率，该国是少数几个国家之一 世界上艾滋病毒感染率不断上升的地区。拟议的结构、主题和重点是 根据福格蒂框架内进行的严格需求评估进行选择 支持规划补助金。这些主题完全符合联合国艾滋病规划署的主要建议 政策制定者就结束全球艾滋病流行所需的投资进行了磋商，并将在此基础上 疾病预防控制中心已资助一项旨在消除佐治亚州丙型肝炎的倡议。该计划的提议 科学主题也与纽约州“结束这一计划的计划”中规定的优先事项完全一致 艾滋病流行。”这种优先事项的一致性，以及艾滋病毒的潜在相似性 乔治亚州和纽约州的流行病创造了一个独特的机会 将有意义的体验式学习内容纳入拟议培训的一部分 程序。这解决了 NIH 战略中关于减少疾病发生率的一个高度优先主题 艾滋病毒/艾滋病，实施改善艾滋病毒检测和预防服务的战略。
