Brown/Tufts Fogarty AIDS International Training and Research Program

描述（由申请人提供）：布朗/塔夫茨大学福格蒂艾滋病国际研究培训项目（D43TW000237）正在申请继续支持其2010-2015年未来5年的教育活动。在过去的16年里，布朗/塔夫茨福格蒂艾滋病国际培训和研究计划（AITRP）培训了来自印度、菲律宾、柬埔寨、印度尼西亚以及最近的肯尼亚西部的100多名临床研究人员，仅在过去的5年里就发表了大约100篇同行评议的出版物。Brown/Tufts AITRP受训者已经在这些国家中担任了国家领导职务，其中一些人在跨国临床研究网络中发挥了重要作用。在这个新周期中，布朗大学/塔夫茨大学AITRP计划建议将重点放在长期培训上，即布朗大学或塔夫茨大学的高级学位培训。学员可以选择参加公共卫生硕士课程、生物统计学硕士课程、临床研究课程以及博士课程。此外，我们还在各种临床研究学科中开发了为期一年的博士后指导研究培训课程，包括分子病毒学，临床试验研究设计，艾滋病预防研究，妇女健康，营养与代谢研究以及药理学。为了确定最优秀的学员，该方案制定了一个正式的咨询程序，其中包括几个国际艾滋病方案、公共卫生研究所和每个附属国家的研究型大学的主任。此外，还制定了正式的指导计划，以确保每个国际实习生与指定的布朗大学或塔夫茨大学教师导师经常联系，这些导师的研究兴趣与相关实习生的研究兴趣一致。潜在的候选人将由我们的国际顾问提出，并在布朗-塔夫茨福格蒂AITRP执行委员会的月度会议上进行选择，该委员会包括来自所有附属机构的优秀教师，他们接受过不同的学术培训，并致力于国际公共卫生培训，随后由培训咨询小组批准和指导。正在增加加纳大学作为试点培训地点。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Brown/Tufts University Fogarty AIDS International Research Training Program (D43TW000237) is applying for continued support of its educational activities for the next 5 years, 2010-2015. Over the past 16 years, the Brown/Tufts Fogarty AIDS International Training and Research Program (AITRP) has trained over 100 clinical investigators from India, the Philippines, Cambodia, Indonesia, and, most recently, western Kenya, resulting in about 100 peer-reviewed publications over the past 5 years alone. Brown/Tufts AITRP trainees have assumed national leadership positions in each of these countries, and several play significant roles in multinational clinical research networks. In this new cycle the Brown/Tufts AITRP proposes to focus on longer term training, advanced degree training at either Brown or Tufts. Trainees may elect to participate in MPH, Masters Programs in Biostatistics, or Clinical Research, as well as PhD programs. In addition, we have developed one year, post doctoral mentored research training courses in a variety of clinical research disciplines, including Molecular Virology, Clinical Trial Research Design, HIV Prevention Research, Women's Health, Nutrition and Metabolic Studies, as well as Pharmacology. In order to identify the highest caliber trainees, the AITRP has developed a formal advisory process, which includes the Directors of several international AIDS programs, Public Health Research Institutes and Research Universities each of the affiliated countries. In addition, a formal mentoring program has been developed which will ensure that each international trainee is in frequent contact with a designated Brown or Tufts faculty mentor whose research interests are congruent with those of the relevant trainee. Prospective candidates will be proposed by our international advisors and their selection with be conducted during the monthly meetings of the Brown-Tufts Fogarty AITRP Executive Committee, which includes accomplished faculty from all affiliated institutions with diverse academic training and a commitment to international public health training, followed by approval and guidance from the Training Advisory Group. The University of Ghana is being added as a pilot training site.
