DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Pittsburgh's Pitt AIDS Research Training (PART) Program will be administered under the leadership of the Program Director, Dr. Todd Reinhart, with assistance from an internal steering committee and an external advisory committee. The current program has been training predoctoral students for four years and during this fifth year of training, we are seeking to renew the NIH support for the program. During this time we have trained or are continuing to train a total of 15 PhD students for periods of one to two years each. This proposal is for support to allow the PART Program to build upon the success of the first period of the award and continue to support the predoctoral training of HIV/AIDS researchers at the University of Pittsburgh. Rigorous training in both the process and content of HIV/AIDS research will be maintained and expanded. Continued efforts will be made to recruit and train the best and brightest students in the laboratories of our productive HIV/AIDS faculty members. These faculty members span multiple cross-cutting programs with appointments in mostly two departments: (1) the Department of Infectious Diseases & Microbiology in the Graduate School of Public Health; and (2) the Department of Microbiology & Molecular Genetics in the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. The majority of students will continue to be registered either in the IDM PhD program or in the Molecular Virology and Microbiology PhD program within the broader School of Medicine Interdisciplinary Biomedical Graduate Program. In the next training period, the PART Program will give specific attention to developing the leadership skills of PART trainees through the formal study of leadership theory and practice. Preparing the future generation of scientist requires not only an understanding of how to perform research, but the critical social contexts in which this occurs. This social context for these high-quality trainees will ultimately involve leadership positions and there is a tremendous gap in the extent to which researchers are being taught about leadership. With emphasis on high-quality research, with a foundation of excellent didactic coursework, and in a world-class HIV/AIDS research environment, PART trainees will be prepared for leadership roles at the postdoctoral and independent investigator levels. RELEVANCE (See instructions): The HIV/AIDS epidemic continues and solid, innovative, and well-led research is required to continue to face this challenge. The PART Program will continue to train PhD level investigators in a multi-disciplinary environment so that they are prepared to perform and lead basic HIV/AIDS research and contribute to the fight against this infectious disease.

描述(由申请人提供)：匹兹堡大学的匹兹堡艾滋病研究培训(部分)项目将在项目主任托德·莱因哈特博士的领导下管理，并得到内部指导委员会和外部咨询委员会的协助。目前的计划已经培养了四年的博士前学生，在这第五年的培训中，我们正在寻求延长NIH对该计划的支持。在此期间，我们已经或正在继续培训总共15名博士生，每名博士生为期一至两年。这项建议是为了支持PART计划在第一期奖项的成功基础上再接再厉，并继续支持匹兹堡大学艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究人员的博士前培训。将维持和扩大艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究过程和内容方面的严格培训。我们将继续努力在我们富有成效的艾滋病毒/艾滋病教员的实验室招聘和培训最优秀和最聪明的学生。这些教员跨越多个交叉项目，主要在两个系任职：(1)公共卫生研究生院的传染病和微生物学系；(2)匹兹堡大学医学院的微生物学和分子遗传学系。大多数学生将继续注册IDM博士项目或更广泛的医学院跨学科生物医学研究生项目中的分子病毒学和微生物学博士项目。在接下来的培训期间，PART计划将通过对领导理论和实践的正式学习，特别关注发展部分学员的领导技能。培养未来一代科学家不仅需要了解如何进行研究，而且需要了解发生这种情况的关键社会背景。对于这些高素质的受训者来说，这种社会背景最终将涉及领导力职位，而研究人员学习领导力的程度存在巨大差距。以高质量的研究为重点，以优秀的教学课程为基础，在世界级的艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究环境中，部分受训人员将为博士后和独立研究人员层面的领导角色做好准备。 相关性(见说明)：艾滋病毒/艾滋病疫情仍在继续，需要扎实、创新和有良好领导的研究来继续面对这一挑战。PART计划将继续在多学科环境中培训博士水平的研究人员，以便他们准备好执行和领导基本的艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究，并为抗击这种传染病作出贡献。
