CORE--INTERNATIONAL RESEARCH SUPPORT

当我们上一次提交P30申请时，CAIR没有进行任何国际艾滋病毒/艾滋病预防研究，并表示其发展将是高度优先的。艾滋病毒在中欧和东欧迅速蔓延，我们选择将工作重点主要放在这一地区。2002年3月，国际研究支持核心基金作为我们中心赠款的竞争性补充资金获得资助。此后，CAIR建立了一系列活跃的国际研究、服务和培训活动，国际项目目前占CAIR校外研究资金总额的三分之一以上。该中心提供的资源帮助CAIR与中欧和东欧国家的非政府组织、艾滋病政府官员和艾滋病毒预防研究人员建立了关系。这些合作导致了一些先导性研究，这些研究作为更大规模干预研究试验的基础。他们还出版了20份出版物，将国际公共卫生关注带到了#年艾滋病毒传播最迅速的地区。 整个世界。该核心的职能包括促进和加强新的国际合作的资源、翻译和语言资源、加强CAIR与国际艾滋病毒预防研究人员和机构之间的信息交流的工具、东欧国家与艾滋病研究有关的文化问题的咨询、为海外机构举办的艾滋病毒预防研究伦理培训研讨会，以及国际研究行政支持。

When our last P30 application was submitted, CAIR had no international HIV/AIDS prevention research and stated then that its development would be a high priority. A major HIV epidemic is rapidly unfolding in Central and Eastern Europe, and we chose to focus our work primarily in this region. The International Research Support Core was funded as a competitive supplement to our Center grant in March, 2002. CAIR has since established a vigorous line of international research, service, and training activities, and international projects now account for over one-third of CAIR's total extramural research funding. The Core has provided resources that helped CAIR to establish relationships with nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), AIDS governmental officials, and HIV prevention researchers in countries in Central and Eastern Europe. These collaborations resulted in a number of pilot studies that served as foundations for larger intervention research trials. They also resulted in 20 publications that have brought international public health attention to a region with the most rapidly-expanding HIV epidemic in the world. The Core's functions include resources for stimulating and strengthening new international collaborations, translation and linguistic resources, vehicles to enhance information exchange between CAIR and international HIV prevention researchers and institutions, consultation in cultural issues related to AIDS research in Eastern European countries, training seminars in HIV prevention research ethics for institutions abroad, and international research administrative support.
