DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Training in Child/Adolescent Biobehavioral HIV Research: Well-trained researchers are needed in the next decade to address the challenge of HIV/AIDS especially among children and adolescents. Effective programs are needed for both the prevention of HIV, as well as intervention for those infected by HIV. This research training program is directed at Ph.D. and M.D. fellows to prepare them to carry out independent research. The Bradley/Hasbro Children's Research Center has faculty with expertise in HIV prevention, other risk behaviors, normative development, psychopathology, and the psychology of physically ill youth. Additional faculty at Brown (through the Center for AIDS Research) have expertise in the medical care of HIV infected youth and adults, HIV testing, vaccine development, STIs, substance abuse, and international health. The strong faculty record of NIH funded research ensures that trainees will be exposed to thriving areas of programmatic research. Trainees will benefit from the accumulated and diverse expertise by having two mentors, each with a different focus. Mentors will focus on either 1) child/adolescent behavioral health, developmental or mental health issues or 2) medical aspects of HIV research. Training will involve interdisciplinary and translational elements to prepare trainees for the integration of the medical, psychiatric, and developmental issues and as it informs Biobehavioral HIV/AIDS Research. The program will have a total of five postdoctoral trainees and two summer trainees each year. It is anticipated that two new psychology trainees will be enrolled every year for a two-year fellowship and one new M.D. will be enrolled in alternate training years. Consistent with each trainee's individual needs, a graduated program for progressive independent research is designed. A formal training curriculum targets specific learning objectives aimed at skills needed for the next generation of HIV research. Core areas of learning include models of behavior and its change, behavioral assessment, psychiatric/substance abuse disorders, biology of HIV, and current antiretroviral treatment. Curriculum needs can be satisfied by HIV - specific seminars, general research design seminars, and by tutorial in addition to formal courses at Brown or nearby universities.

描述（由申请人提供）：在儿童/青少年生物行为艾滋病毒研究培训：训练有素的研究人员需要在未来十年，以解决艾滋病毒/艾滋病的挑战，特别是在儿童和青少年。需要有效的方案来预防艾滋病毒，并对艾滋病毒感染者进行干预。这个研究培训计划是针对博士。和医学博士。研究员，以准备他们进行独立的研究。布拉德利/孩之宝儿童研究中心的教师在艾滋病毒预防、其他危险行为、规范发展、精神病理学和身体不适青年的心理学方面具有专业知识。布朗大学的其他教师（通过艾滋病研究中心）在艾滋病毒感染的青年和成人的医疗保健，艾滋病毒检测，疫苗开发，性传播感染，药物滥用和国际卫生方面具有专业知识。NIH资助研究的强大教师记录确保学员将接触到蓬勃发展的项目研究领域。学员将受益于积累和多样化的专业知识，有两个导师，每个有不同的重点。导师将专注于1）儿童/青少年行为健康，发展或心理健康问题或2）艾滋病毒研究的医学方面。培训将涉及跨学科和翻译元素，以准备学员的医疗，精神病学和发展问题的整合，并告知生物行为艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究。该计划每年将有5名博士后培训生和2名暑期培训生。预计每年将招收两名新的心理学受训人员，获得为期两年的研究金，并招收一名新的医学博士。将在隔年的培训中被录取根据每个学员的个人需求，设计了一个渐进式独立研究的毕业课程。正式的培训课程针对具体的学习目标，旨在培养下一代艾滋病毒研究所需的技能。学习的核心领域包括行为模式及其变化，行为评估，精神/药物滥用障碍，艾滋病毒生物学和当前的抗逆转录病毒治疗。课程需要可以满足艾滋病毒的具体研讨会，一般研究设计研讨会，并通过辅导除了正式课程在布朗或附近的大学。
