DESCRIPTION: This is a proposal to provide training for five predoctoral and two postdoctoral candidates each year in a multidisciplinary program focusing on HIV/AIDS epidemiology leading to the M.S. (postdoctorals only) or Ph.D. degrees and for postdoctoral studies in epidemiology for those with a prior doctoral degree in epidemiology. The twenty-three members of the multidisciplinary faculty include HIV/AIDS investigators with reserch programs in epidemiology, biostatistics, immunology, virology, clinical medicine, neurology, psychology and behavioral sciences. In addition to a core program of courses in epidemiology, biostatistics, the biology of HIV, behavioral and public health strategies for control of HIV, health strategies for prevention of HIV infection and surveillance, trainees will be required to take additional courses in other biologic, sociologic and/or mathematical disciplines and to participate in an ongoing seminar on HIV/AIDS. Trainees may also take elective courses from among seventeen additional courses in HIV/AIDS offered at UCLA. Trainees will develop theses, dissertations and postdoctoral research in HIV/AIDS in collaboration with the interdisciplinary faculty of the program. These projects may be conducted in the United States or in Southeast Asia. Special efforts will be made to recruit qualified candidates from underrepresented minority groups.

描述：这是一项建议，在一个多学科项目中，每年为5名博士后和2名博士后候选人提供培训，该项目侧重于艾滋病毒/艾滋病流行病学，以获得硕士(仅博士后)或博士学位，并为具有流行病学博士学位的人提供流行病学博士后研究。23名多学科教员包括艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究人员，他们的研究项目包括流行病学、生物统计学、免疫学、病毒学、临床医学、神经学、心理学和行为科学。除了流行病学、生物统计学、艾滋病毒生物学、控制艾滋病毒的行为和公共卫生战略、预防艾滋病毒感染的卫生战略和监测等核心课程外，学员还将被要求学习其他生物、社会学和/或数学学科的额外课程，并参加正在进行的关于艾滋病毒/艾滋病的研讨会。学员还可以从加州大学洛杉矶分校提供的17个额外艾滋病毒/艾滋病课程中选修课程。受训者将与该项目的跨学科教师合作，开发关于艾滋病毒/艾滋病的论文、论文和博士后研究。这些项目可能在美国或东南亚进行。将特别努力从代表性不足的少数群体中招聘合格的候选人。
