Interdisciplinary HIV Prevention Training Program

耶鲁大学艾滋病跨学科研究中心（CIRA）于1999年建立了一个非常成功的艾滋病预防研究前和博士后奖学金培训计划，本申请为nssa T32 MH20031续签。在过去的十年里，我们成功地培养了博士后研究员，在过去的五年里，年轻的、早期的科学家在我们的博士前培训部分蓬勃发展。中心设在耶鲁大学公共卫生学院，提供了一个特殊的培训环境，继续与不断变化的艾滋病毒/艾滋病流行病保持同步。我们的培训计划的独特之处在于提供以下视角组合：关注弱势群体和服务不足人群；坚实的培训基础，强调定量和定性分析方法的严谨性；有机会在国内和国际上进行合乎道德的、以社区为基础的研究；强调艾滋病预防科学的法律、政策和伦理分析。我们每年申请4个博士预科和7个博士后名额。博士预科培训计划包括：正式课程，研究指导，研讨会，校外课程和会议，资格考试和论文研究。博士后奖学金的重点是与教师导师一起“动手”进行研究、分析、论文和拨款写作。我们培训未来科学家从事艾滋病毒预防研究工作的方法将强调研究员课程工作研究指导的灵活性和个性化，同时认识到方法论和伦理方面核心培训的重要性。在过去的10年里，我们成功培养并将继续培养29名博士后和6名博士前研究员，涵盖了广泛的学科。研究员们在广泛的研究、出版记录和职业轨迹中都接触到并积极合作。因此，我们有信心，我们有能力培养具有最坚实的知识、技能和经验基础的博士前和博士后研究员，以实现和维持科学研究人员的职业生涯，为艾滋病毒预防，特别是公共卫生方面的进展作出贡献。我们的培训计划的目标是为年轻的研究人员提供最强大的知识、技能和经验基础，使他们能够建立（并维持）科学研究人员的职业生涯，为艾滋病毒预防，特别是公共卫生的进步做出贡献。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This Renewal Application for NRSA T32 MH20031 seeks to continue a highly successful Pre- and Post- Doctoral Fellowship Training Program (established in 1999) in HIV prevention research at Yale University's Center for Interdisciplinary Research on AIDS (CIRA). Over the past ten years we have successfully trained Post-Doctoral Fellows, with younger, early-career scientists thriving in our Pre-Doctoral Training component over the past five years. CIRA, housed within the School of Public Health at Yale University, provides an exceptional training environment that continues to keep step with the changing HIV/AIDS pandemic. Our training program is unique in providing the following combination of perspectives: a focus on vulnerability and underserved populations; a strong foundation of training that emphasizes methodological rigor in both quantitative and qualitatative analyses; opportunities to conduct ethically sound, community based research, domestically and internationally; and emphasis on legal, policy and ethical analysis of HIV prevention science. We are requesting support for 4 Pre-Doctorate and 7 Post-Doctorate slots per year. The Pre- Doctorate training program consists of: formal course work, research preceptorship, seminars, outside courses and meetings, qualifying examinations, and dissertation research. The focus of the Post-Doctorale Fellowship is "hands on" conduct of research, analysis, paper and grant writing with a faculty mentor. Our approach to training future scientists for careers in HIV prevention research will emphasize flexibility and individual tailoring of Fellows' course work research preceptorships, while recognizing the importance of core training in methodology and ethics. Over the past 10 years we have successfully trained, and continue to train, 29 post-doctoral fellows and 6 pre-doctoral fellows covering a wide array of disciplines. Fellows were both exposed to and actively collaborate in a wide array of studies, publication records and career trajectories. We are, therefore, confident in our ability to prepare both Pre- and Post-Doctoral Fellows with the strongest foundation of knowledge, skills, and experience to achieve and sustain careers as scientific investigators, contributing to advances in HIV prevention, specifically, and public health, in general. The objective of our Training Program is to provide the strongest foundation of knowledge, skills, and experience to young investigators at the pre- and post-doctoral levels, who can establish (and sustain) careers as scientific investigators, contributing to advances in HIV prevention, specifically, and public health, in general.
