BU Clinical HIV/AIDS Research Training Program

描述(由申请者提供)：波士顿大学临床艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究培训(BU-CHART)计划将为医生提供研究生培训，以提高他们在弱势群体中设计和实施伦理人类艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究的能力。BU-CHART计划是波士顿大学医学中心(BUMC)公共卫生学院和医学院之间的一项合作努力，将提供艾滋病毒/艾滋病临床试验和流行病学研究方面的培训，特别是关注弱势群体研究的伦理问题。波士顿大学医学中心为主要是少数民族的艾滋病毒感染者提供服务，药物滥用发生率很高；北卡罗来纳大学拥有国际公认的卫生法部门，该部门一直走在艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究伦理问题分析的前沿，并拥有一批全国公认的药物滥用研究人员。北京医科大学拥有成人和儿童艾滋病临床试验单位，这些单位是国家艾滋病临床试验小组(ACTG)的一部分，并有大量的R01和其他资助研究，为BU-CHAP学员提供临床研究机会。该计划每年将招收两名研究员参加结构化的指导临床研究计划，从而获得M.Sc学位。学位。学员将参加教学临床研究课程和临床研究研讨会系列，这两个课程都是由北京理工大学通过K30奖项开发的。他们还将在从我们经验丰富的教师中挑选的导师的指导下，帮助设计、实施和分析临床研究项目。BU-CHART计划将提供试验设计问题、内部评审委员会考虑事项和提案/手稿准备方面的实用知识。这将为学员在未来的独立临床研究职业生涯中取得成功做好准备。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Boston University Clinical HIV/AIDS Research Training (BU-CHART) Program will provide postgraduate training to physicians that will enhance their ability to design and carry out ethical human HIV/AIDS research among disadvantaged populations. The BU-CHART Program, a collaborative effort between the Boston University Medical Center (BUMC) Schools of Public Health and Medicine, will provide training in clinical trials and epidemiologic research in HIV/AIDS with particular focus on the ethical issues of research in disadvantaged populations. Boston University Medical Center serves a population of HIV-infected persons that is largely minority and has high rates of substance abuse; BUMC has an internationally recognized health law department that has been in the forefront of analysis of ethical issues in HIV/AIDS research and a nationally recognized group of substance abuse researchers. BUMC has both adult and pediatric AIDS Clinical Trials Units that are part of the national AIDS Clinical Trials Groups (ACTG) and a substantial number of R01 and other funded studies to provide clinical research opportunities for BU-CHART trainees. The program will enroll two fellows per year in a structured program of mentored clinical research leading to the M.Sc. Degree. Trainees will participate in the didactic clinical research curriculum and a clinical research seminar series, both developed at BUMC through a K30 award. They will also help design, conduct and analyze a clinical research project under the guidance of a mentor chosen from our experienced faculty. A working knowledge of trial design issues, IRB considerations and the preparation of proposals/manuscripts will be provided by the BU-CHART Program. This will prepare trainees for success in future independent clinical research careers.
