DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Dartmouth/Boston University AIDS International Training and Research Program (AITRP) is a 5-year comprehensive program designed to provide diverse degree and non-degree training to Tanzanian scientists with the overall goal of strengthening research capacity in HIV and tuberculosis at the Muhimbili University College of Health Sciences. This AITRP builds on an existing and successful collaboration, which has launched the first efficacy trial for a vaccine against tuberculosis among persons with HIV infection. This collaboration has identified critical training needs and has defined key research objectives for positioning Tanzanian scientists to continue to develop and apply programs to control both HIV and tuberculosis. This AITRP is based on a sequenced plan of training and subsequent research mentored by recognized experts in international public health, health outcomes research, behavioral science, immunology, HIV, tuberculosis and vaccine research. The Program will enhance research capacity in all basic areas (e.g. epidemiology, clinical trials) and will also provide innovative training in new and specialized areas (e.g., mucosal immunity, evaluative clinical sciences) to facilitate the growth and development of novel research projects relevant to the prevention of HIV and tuberculosis in developing countries. The Program will be closely managed by a core faculty group at the three academic institutions with extensive experience in international health training and a strong commitment to ensuring the long-term benefits of the Program for Tanzania. A detailed plan provides for increasing transfer of training and research to Tanzania over the 5-year duration of the Program and for continuous re-evaluation of Program priorities. Guidance and oversight will be provided by a Training Advisory Group with outstanding credentials in international public health.

描述（由申请人提供）：达特茅斯/波士顿大学艾滋病国际培训和研究计划（AITRP）是一个为期5年的综合计划，旨在为坦桑尼亚科学家提供不同学位和非学位培训，其总体目标是加强Muhimbili大学健康科学学院艾滋病毒和结核病的研究能力。这一AITRP建立在现有的成功合作的基础上，该合作启动了艾滋病毒感染者中结核病疫苗的首次有效性试验。这项合作确定了关键的培训需求，并确定了关键的研究目标，以使坦桑尼亚科学家能够继续制定和应用控制艾滋病毒和结核病的方案。该AITRP基于由国际公共卫生，健康结果研究，行为科学，免疫学，艾滋病毒，结核病和疫苗研究领域的公认专家指导的培训和后续研究的顺序计划。该方案将提高所有基本领域（如流行病学、临床试验）的研究能力，还将在新的专门领域（如，粘膜免疫、评价性临床科学），以促进发展中国家与预防艾滋病毒和结核病有关的新研究项目的增长和发展。该计划将由三个学术机构的核心教师小组密切管理，他们在国际卫生培训方面拥有丰富的经验，并坚定地致力于确保该计划为坦桑尼亚带来长期利益。一项详细的计划规定在该方案的五年期间增加向坦桑尼亚转让培训和研究，并不断重新评估方案的优先事项。将由一个在国际公共卫生领域具有杰出资历的培训咨询小组提供指导和监督。
