INTERDISCIPLINARY HIV PREVENTION TRAINING PROGRAM

耶鲁大学艾滋病跨学科研究中心(CIRA)进行跨学科研究，旨在预防艾滋病毒感染，减少该疾病在脆弱和服务不足人群中的负面后果。这项申请请求支持在CIRA建立艾滋病毒预防研究的机构国家研究服务奖博士后奖学金培训计划。初级教师是从流行病学和公共卫生、心理学、医学和精神病学系中挑选出来的。三个委员会将支持培训计划：行政、招聘/选拔和外部咨询。CIRA培训计划将为每年3名博士后提供为期5年的培训机会。该方案将特别寻求增加该领域的女性和少数民族科学家的数量。培训计划的活动包括：(1)正在进行的艾滋病毒研究中的研究指导和合作；(2)研究方法和伦理方面的培训；(3)选修课程；(4)与CIRA和艾滋病毒相关的研讨会和座谈会；以及(5)特别活动(例如CIRA科学日)。研究员的培训经验将提供必要的知识和技能，以制定一个可以得到外部资金支持的研究方案。CIRA建议的培训计划在其综合的、跨学科的方法以及对传统上脆弱和服务不足的人群的关注方面是独一无二的。

The Center for Interdisciplinary Research on AIDS (CIRA) at Yale University conducts interdisciplinary research directed toward the prevention of HIV infection and the reduction of the negative consequences of the disease in vulnerable and underserved populations. This application requests support to establish an Institutional National Research Service Award Post-Doctoral Fellowship Training Program in HIV prevention research at CIRA. Primary faculty have been selected from the Departments of Epidemiology and Public Health, Psychology, Medicine, and Psychiatry. Three committees will support the Training Program: Administration, Recruitment/Selection, and External Advisory. The CIRA Training Program will offer opportunities to a total of 3 Post- Doctoral Fellows per year for 5 years. The Program will especially seek to increase the number of women and minority scientists in the field. Training Program activities include: (1) research preceptorship and collaboration in on-going HIV research; (2) Training in research methods and ethics; (3) optional coursework; (4) CIRA and HIV-related seminars and colloquia; and (5) Special events (e.g CIRA Science Day). The Fellows' training experience will provide the knowledge and skills necessary to develop a program of research that can be supported by extramural funding. CIRA's proposed Training Program is unique in its integrated, interdisciplinary approach and its focus on traditionally vulnerable and underserved populations.
