Vietnam Implementation Science Advancement: A Training Program to Improve HIV Prevention and Care

项目摘要 要扩大对艾滋病毒感染的有效干预措施，就必须将这些干预措施转化为 实践如果不认真扩大规模，循证干预措施（EBI）可能无法实现其承诺。 实施科学是一门研究方法的学科，旨在促进研究成果的系统吸收， 例行训练这一D43提案旨在扩大越南与艾滋病毒有关的实施科学， 一个国家，一直是许多NIH资助的干预研究的重点，但几乎没有IS能力。 该培训计划被称为越南实施科学进步（VISA），使用深度和 扩散模式，以实现以下长期目标：1）扩大越南研究人员的能力 开展信息系统研究; 2）确保研究人员、决策者和项目负责人了解信息系统 原则这些长期目标将通过解决以下目标来实现：1）启动河内医疗 大学实施科学方案（HMU-ISP）; 2）发展信息系统知识和研究能力， 越南的四所卫生科学大学; 3）发展越南决策者和卫生部门的信息系统能力 项目负责人促进将艾滋病毒研究转化为实践。我们将通过建立HMU来建立深度- 综合系统方案，该方案将作为目标2和3的现场培训基地。通过完成这一D43，HMU- ISP将有9名教员，包括主任（江博士，co-I），两名VISA高级教员，他们将获得 3-一个月的沉浸式培训，在实施科学在圣地亚哥;两个签证博士研究员谁将获得博士学位 以及四名VISA学院的培训生，他们将参加我们的培训计划 (Aim 2）。为了在整个越南传播信息系统知识，我们将从四个国家培训12名签证培训人员， 越南大学（包括HMU）和12名签证政策/计划培训生，他们将从艾滋病毒- 重点政府和非政府机构。VISA学院和政策/计划的课程 受训人员将侧重于与艾滋病毒有关的信息系统知识和技能以及研究培训。VISA教师培训生也将 开发一个以信息系统为重点的课程，以扩大本国机构的实施科学培训。签证学院 和政策/计划受训人员将通过面对面和虚拟短期课程以及一系列 由实施科学领域的领导者领导的网络研讨会。研究培训将包括赠款写作课程， 撰写论文，重点是与艾滋病毒有关的信息系统试点项目，该项目将于2010年第二年完成。 训练试点项目将由一个跨学科的团队领导，包括一个VISA教师和一个VISA 政策/计划培训生，并将由一个特殊的教师团队，从美国和 越南这一创新的D43汇集了一个强大的团队，以扩大艾滋病毒相关的实施科学， 越南通过让学术界和公共卫生决策者参与信息系统培训， 将最大限度地将EBI转化为实践。

Project Summary The expansion of effective interventions for HIV infection necessitates translation of these interventions to practice. Without careful scale-up, evidence-based interventions (EBIs) may not achieve their promise. Implementation science is the study of methods to promote the systematic uptake of research findings into routine practice. This D43 proposal is designed to expand HIV-related implementation science (IS) in Vietnam, a country that has been the focus of many NIH-funded intervention studies but has little IS capacity. The training program, referred to as Vietnam Implementation Science Advancement (VISA), uses a depth and diffusion model to achieve the following long-term goals: 1) to expand the capacity of Vietnamese researchers to conduct IS research and 2) to ensure that researchers, policymakers, and program leaders understand IS principles. These long-term goals will be achieved by addressing the following aims: 1) Initiate the Hanoi Medical University Implementation Science Program (HMU-ISP); 2) Develop IS knowledge and research capacity among four health science universities in Vietnam; 3) Develop IS capacity among Vietnamese policymakers and health program leaders to foster translation of HIV research into practice. We will build depth by establishing the HMU- ISP, which will serve as the home for in-person training in Aims 2 and 3. By completion of this D43, the HMU- ISP will have 9 faculty members, including the director (Dr. Giang, co-I), two VISA Senior Faculty who will receive 3-month immersion training in implementation science at UNC; two VISA PhD Fellows who will obtain their PhD in implementation science at UNC; and four VISA Faculty Trainees who will participate in our training program (Aim 2). To diffuse IS knowledge throughout Vietnam, we will train 12 VISA Faculty Trainees from four Vietnamese universities (including HMU) and 12 VISA Policy/Program Trainees, who will be selected from HIV- focused governmental and non-governmental agencies. The curriculum for the VISA Faculty and Policy/Program Trainees will focus on HIV-related IS knowledge and skills and research training. VISA Faculty Trainees will also develop an IS-focused course to expand implementation science training in their home institutions. VISA Faculty and Policy/Program Trainees will gain IS knowledge through in-person and virtual short courses and a series of webinars led by leaders in implementation science. Research training will include courses in grant writing and manuscript writing focusing on an HIV-related IS pilot project, which will be completed in the second year of training. The pilot projects will be led by an interdisciplinary team including one VISA Faculty and one VISA Policy/Program Trainee and will be supervised by a team of exceptional faculty, from both the United States and Vietnam. This innovative D43 brings together a strong team to expand HIV-related implementation science in Vietnam. By engaging both academia and public health policymakers in IS training, the potential for future translation of EBIs into practice will be maximized.
