International Research

国际研究核心的目的是促进和促进贝勒-休斯顿大学 CFR 成员在国际环境中进行艾滋病毒/艾滋病转化研究。过去 10 年里，贝勒国际儿科艾滋病倡议 (BIPAI) 在国际研究核心的部分支持下，已从一个以罗马尼亚为重点的小型实验室项目发展成为全球最大的儿科和家庭艾滋病毒治疗和研究中心网络，照顾超过 30,000 名艾滋病毒感染者。这些中心相互联系，共同作为一种资源，能够促进罗马尼亚、博茨瓦纳、莱索托、马拉维、斯威士兰、乌干达、坦桑尼亚、布基纳法索和肯尼亚九个不同国际环境下的艾滋病毒/艾滋病合作研究。 迄今为止，国际研究核心一直非常高效且富有成效。与布加勒斯特斯特凡尼科劳病毒学研究所的合作尤其令人自豪；我们对这种关系的支持体现在我们要求继续向该合作伙伴分配大部分 CFAR 国际研究核心资金。 CFAR 国际研究核心为 NIH 资助的艾滋病国际研究和培训项目学者的成功做出了巨大贡献。其他项目（例如博茨瓦纳哈博罗内的 BANA 2 试验）也受到了 CFAR 的投入和贡献的推动。 CFAR 国际研究核心现已准备好呈指数级增长，因为通过新实施的电子病历系统可以实现几乎无限的流行病学、操作和临床研究机会。该电子病历系统目前包含七个地点 30,000 名患者的数据。这个新工具有可能激发现有核心用户的回顾性和前瞻性研究，并将吸引更多新用户加入核心。

The purpose of the International Research Core is to promote and facilitate translational HIV/AIDS research by Baylor-UTHouston CFAR members in international settings. Over the past 10 years, the Baylor International Pediatric AIDS Initiative (BIPAI), supported in part by the International Research Core, has grown from a small, laboratory-based program focused in Romania to encompass the world's largest network of pediatric and family HIV treatment and research centers with over 30,000 HIV-infected patients in care. These centers are linked with one another, and together they serve as a resource capable of facilitating collaborative HIV/AIDS research across nine distinct international settings in Romania, Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Swaziland, Uganda, Tanzania, Burkina Faso, and Kenya. The International Research Core has been extraordinarily efficient and productive to date. The partnership with the Stefan Nicolau Institute of Virology in Bucharest has been a particular source of pride; our support for this relationship is reflected in our request for continued allocation of a substantial proportion of CFAR International Research Core funds to this partner. The CFAR International Research Core has contributed greatly to the success of the NIH-funded AIDS International Research and Training Program scholars. Other projects (such as the BANA 2 trial in Gaborone, Botswana) have been catalyzed by CFAR input and contributions. The CFAR International Research Core is now poised for exponential growth, as nearly limitless opportunities for epidemiological, operational, and clinical research can be realized through the newly implemented electronic medical records system. This electronic medical records system currently includes data on 30,000 patients in seven sites. This new tool has the potential to galvanize both retrospective and prospective research among existing core users and will attract additional new users to the core.
