Project Summary This application, "Optimizing HIV Prevention in Ethiopia through Implementation Science," proposes to create and strengthen research teams capable of conducting implementation research at Addis Ababa University in Ethiopia (AAU) College of Health Sciences, through collaboration with a Johns Hopkins University training group. It will focus on prevention of HIV, in particular on optimizing prevention of mother to child transmission (PMTCT) and on treatment as prevention (TasP). Our proposed research training program addresses multiple areas prioritized by NIH in its FY 2012 strategic plan. PMTCT is a current priority in Ethiopia and TasP is expected to be a focus of the country's attention in the near future. The proposal is responsive to institutional needs, building upon existing capacity, leveraging other ongoing training infrastructure and filling a methodologic gap critical not only to addressing HIV prevention issues but other public health challenges as well. It builds upon a long standing collaboration between AAU and JHU that includes HIV research, PEPFAR-supported HIV program implementation, prior Fogarty supported training and the Medical Education Partnership Initiative. We are now proposing a program composed of advanced specialized training for 3 mid-level AAU faculty interested in implementation research, and a 2 year didactic and research training curriculum for 8 post-doctoral junior faculty. Training tracks will provide 4 possible areas of focus: bioethics, health services research, quantitative and qualitative research methods. Didactic training will be include a combination of online and Baltimore-based JH Bloomberg School of Public Health courses and supplemented by coursework taught in Ethiopia and an ongoing videoconference-based seminar. Trained mid- level AAU faculty will assist JHU faculty in delivering courses in future years. The junior trainees will develop and undertake implementation research addressing an issue of importance to prevention of HIV and graduates of the program will serve as mentors to more junior trainees. Evaluation metrics will include trainee scientific output (publications, grant submissions, presentations at scientific meetings), in particular any that include an interdisciplinary approach and indicators of trainee satisfaction and perceived benefit of the program. This program will create a cadre of well-trained interdisciplinary researchers focusing on HIV prevention, a priority for both the institution and the National HIV program, whose specific research skills will be crucial in identifying means of optimally implementing current and future HIV prevention strategies.

项目摘要 这个应用程序，“通过实施科学优化埃塞俄比亚的艾滋病毒预防”， 建议建立和加强能够执行的研究小组， 埃塞俄比亚阿迪斯大学健康科学学院的研究， 与约翰霍普金斯大学培训小组合作。它将侧重于预防 艾滋病毒，特别是关于最大限度地预防母婴传播和 治疗即预防（TasP）。我们提出的研究培训计划解决多个 NIH在其2012财年战略计划中优先考虑的领域。防止母婴传播是埃塞俄比亚当前的优先事项 TasP预计将成为该国近期关注的焦点。该提案 对机构需求作出反应，利用现有能力，利用其他正在进行的 培训基础设施和填补方法上的空白，这不仅对解决艾滋病毒问题至关重要， 预防问题以及其他公共卫生挑战。它建立在一个长期的基础上， AAU和JHU之间的合作，包括艾滋病毒研究，PEPFAR支持的艾滋病毒 计划实施，之前福格蒂支持的培训和医学教育 伙伴关系倡议。我们现在提出一个由高级专业人员组成的计划， 对3名对实施研究感兴趣的中级AAU教师进行培训， 为8名博士后初级教员提供教学和研究培训课程。训练路线将 提供4个可能的重点领域：生物伦理学、卫生服务研究、定量和 质的研究方法。教学培训将包括在线和 位于巴尔的摩的JH Bloomberg公共卫生学院课程， 在埃塞俄比亚教授的课程和正在进行的视频会议研讨会。训练中- AAU教师将在未来几年协助JHU教师提供课程。初级 受训人员将制定和开展实施研究，解决以下问题： 预防艾滋病毒的重要性，该计划的毕业生将成为更多 初级学员。评估指标将包括受训人员的科学产出（出版物、赠款 提交的材料、在科学会议上的介绍），特别是任何包括 多学科方法和受训者满意度指标以及 程序.该计划将创建一个训练有素的跨学科研究人员的骨干 侧重于艾滋病毒预防，这是该机构和国家艾滋病毒方案的优先事项， 其具体的研究技能将是至关重要的，在确定最佳实施的手段， 当前和未来的艾滋病毒预防战略。
