Malawi HIV Implementation Research Scientist Training Program (M-HIRST)

项目摘要/摘要 马拉维艾滋病毒执行研究培训方案(M-Hirst)介绍了发展学科 通过马拉维大学与马拉维大学之间的合作项目向马拉维提供实施科学(IS) 医学院(COM)和北卡罗来纳大学。在过去的4年里，我们建立了一个核心 实施科学家小组(8名教师、3名博士、7名硕士、14名获奖者)提供 平台开展新的IS研究，在COM公共卫生部门内建立IS主题领域 和家庭医学，并将培训嵌入最近推出的全球卫生实施硕士课程 和研究支持中心。然而，由于马拉维艾滋病毒方案的不断演变，需要 在实施方面，科学家的发展速度已经超过了我们的教师队伍。 对于我们的更新，所有研究将由年度科学优先事项研讨会指导，以确保我们的目标是 与卫生部指导方针和马拉维国家卫生研究议程保持一致。确定的关键领域 2018年讲习班包括实现90/90/90目标的执行战略、先进的艾滋病毒护理、 将非传染性疾病服务纳入艾滋病毒护理和综合预防战略(VMMC、PrEP)。基于2019年 反馈、差异化的ART护理和结核病预防治疗已成为优先议题。全部计划好了 培训活动是对我们各机构现有能力建设方案的补充，以最大限度地发挥影响。 我们将在COM培训更多的教员，同时扩大到Kamuzu护理学院的教员 (KCN)。我们的目标是支持额外的4名博士和6名硕士候选人，并在 .com、KCN、卫生部和研究伙伴通过结构化的领导力培训、职业发展 授权写作，并保护研究时间。我们的IS实习计划将与PEPFAR实施 合作伙伴将12名受训人员安排在有指导的研究环境中，以获得实践经验。我们的迭代简短 课程计划旨在培训新课程教师和实习生，并将包括高级信息系统主题 包括移动健康、健康项目经济评估、质量改进、健康空间建模 影响力，以及职业发展补助金的撰写。参加我们计划任何部分的学员都可以申请 辅导助学金(最多15个助学金)以支持他们的研究。 到颁奖结束时，我们预计将有独立资助的马拉维调查人员能够 多学科研究，领导马拉维艾滋病毒治疗和预防实施科学议程和 指导下一代研究科学家。

Project Summary/Abstract The Malawi HIV Implementation Research Training Program (M-HIRST) introduced the developing discipline of Implementation Science(IS) to Malawi through its collaborative program between the University of Malawi College of Medicine (CoM) and University of North Carolina. Over the past 4 years, we have established a core group of Implementation Scientists (8 faculty, 3 PhD, 7 Master’s, 14 mentored grant awardees) providing a platform to launch new IS research, establish an IS thematic area within the CoM department of Public health and Family Medicine, and embed IS training into the recently launched Master’s in Global Health Implementation and the Research Support Centre. However, due to continued evolution of the Malawi HIV program, the need for implementation scientists has outpaced our development of faculty. For our renewal, all research will be guided by an annual scientific priorities workshops to ensure our goals are aligned with Ministry of Health Guidelines and the Malawi National Health Research Agenda. Key areas identified in the 2018 workshop included implementation strategies to achieve 90/90/90 targets, advanced HIV care, integration of NCD services in HIV care, and Integrated prevention strategies (VMMC, PrEP). Based on 2019 feedback, differentiated ART care and TB preventive therapy have emerged as priority topics. All planned training activities complement existing capacity building programs at our institutions to maximize impact. We will train additional faculty at CoM while expanding to include faculty at the Kamuzu College of Nursing (KCN). Our goals are to support an additional 4 PhD and 6 Master’s candidates, and engage 12 junior faculty at CoM, KCN, Ministry of Health and research partners through structured leadership training, career development grant writing, and protected research time. Our IS internship program will partner with PEPFAR implementing partners to place 12 trainees in mentored research environments to gain practical experience. Our iterative short course program is designed to train both new course faculty and trainees and will include advanced IS topics including mHealth, Economic Evaluation of Health Programs, Quality Improvement, Spatial Modeling for Health impact, and career development grant writing. Trainees participating in any part of our program can apply for mentored grants (up to 15 grants) to support their research. By the end of the award, we expect to have independently funded Malawian investigators capable of multidisciplinary research to lead the Malawi HIV treatment and prevention implementation science agenda and mentor the next generation of research scientists.
