Interdisciplinary HIV Prevention Training Program

描述(由申请人提供)：NRSA T32 MH20031的续签申请旨在继续耶鲁大学艾滋病跨学科研究中心(CIRA)在艾滋病毒预防研究方面非常成功的博士后和博士后奖学金培训计划(于1999年建立)。在过去的十年里，我们成功地培训了博士后研究员，在过去的五年里，年轻的、职业生涯早期的科学家在我们的博士前培训部分蓬勃发展。总部设在耶鲁大学公共卫生学院的CIRA提供了一个特殊的培训环境，继续与不断变化的艾滋病毒/艾滋病大流行保持同步。我们的培训计划在提供以下观点方面是独一无二的：关注脆弱性和服务不足的人口；强调定量和定性分析方法严谨的坚实培训基础；有机会在国内和国际进行基于社区的伦理合理的研究；以及强调艾滋病毒预防科学的法律、政策和伦理分析。我们要求每年提供4个博士后和7个博士后职位的支持。博士前培训计划包括：正式课程工作、研究指导、研讨会、课外课程和会议、资格考试和论文研究。博士后奖学金的重点是在教师导师的指导下进行研究、分析、论文和拨款写作。我们对未来科学家进行艾滋病毒预防研究职业培训的方法将强调研究员课程工作研究指导的灵活性和个人化，同时认识到方法和伦理方面的核心培训的重要性。在过去的10年里，我们成功地培训了29名博士后研究员和6名博士后研究员，他们涵盖了广泛的学科领域，并将继续培训。研究人员都接触到了广泛的研究、出版记录和职业轨迹，并积极合作。因此，我们相信，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后和博士后研究员，以实现和维持科学研究人员的职业生涯，为艾滋病毒预防，特别是一般公共卫生方面的进步做出贡献。我们培训计划的目标是为博士后和博士后阶段的年轻研究人员提供最坚实的知识、技能和经验基础，他们能够建立(和维持)科学研究人员的职业生涯，为艾滋病毒预防，特别是一般公共卫生方面的进步做出贡献。

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.
