DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The long-term objective of the Xiangya-UCLA HIV/AIDS Nursing Research Initiative is to enhance capacity at Xiangya School of Nursing (Central South University, Hunan, China) and affiliated institutions to conduct research addressing questions in HIV/AIDS nursing with a focus on mental health and management of cognitive/affective symptoms of HIV and concomitant conditions. Specific aims include 1) development of research expertise in a cadre of Chinese nurses and psychologists who will conduct collaborative HIV/AIDS behavioral research; and 2) enhancement of the institutional capacity for nursing, mental health and behavioral HIV/AIDS research, including rigorous measurement of biological outcomes. The research training plan comprises 1) long-term (9 month) post doctoral training in HIV behavioral studies for 8 Chinese investigators at UCLA; 2) medium term training (6 months) in measurement of biological outcomes for 1 Chinese laboratory fellow at Yale and UCLA; 3) part-time, long term, in-country training in behavioral research methods for a cohort of 20 Chinese nurses and psychologists; and 4) mentored research projects. The proposed program responds to and extends ongoing HIV/AIDS collaborations which have demonstrated the need for additional post doctoral training in order to conduct rigorous studies of emerging questions related to mental health and behavioral aspects of HIV/AIDS in China including measurement of biological outcomes. The rationale for the program is that while Xiangya has strengthened its doctoral studies program for nurses and psychologists, local expertise is limited regarding the behavioral research methods that are key to high quality investigations of psychosocial and self-management issues of interest to nurse-researchers and psychologists. The program links nursing and psychology in recognition of common academic interests and the existing relationship between these two disciplines among the partner institutions. The program design builds in collaboration, long term mentorship and ongoing support of trainees as they design, implement, and evaluate mentored research of immediate relevance to China and by extension to similar countries faced with maturing HIV epidemics. It is anticipated that this program will substantially increase the number of young and mid career nurse-scientists, psychologists, and others conducting research related to the mental health and behavioral aspects of HIV/AIDS. Increased capacity will be measured by the number of research projects conducted by trainees; peer reviewed publications and professional presentations; successful applications for external funding; and number of courses taught and individuals mentored by trainees.

描述(申请人提供)：湘雅-加州大学洛杉矶分校艾滋病毒/艾滋病护理研究计划的长期目标是提高湘雅护理学院(湖南中南大学中国)及其附属机构开展艾滋病毒/艾滋病护理研究的能力，重点关注心理健康和艾滋病毒及其伴随条件的认知/情感症状的管理。具体目标包括1)培养中国护士和心理学家的研究专业知识，他们将进行艾滋病毒/艾滋病行为研究；以及2)加强护理、心理健康和行为艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究的机构能力，包括对生物学结果的严格衡量。研究培训计划包括1)为加州大学洛杉矶分校的8名中国研究人员提供长期(9个月)的艾滋病毒行为研究博士后培训；2)为耶鲁大学和加州大学洛杉矶分校的1名中国实验室研究员提供中期培训(6个月)；3)为20名中国护士和心理学家提供非全职、长期的国内行为研究方法培训；以及4)指导研究项目。拟议的计划是对正在进行的艾滋病毒/艾滋病合作的回应和扩展，这些合作表明需要额外的博士后培训，以便在中国对与艾滋病毒/艾滋病的心理健康和行为方面相关的新问题进行严格研究，包括测量生物学结果。该项目的基本原理是，虽然湘雅加强了针对护士和心理学家的博士学习计划，但当地在行为研究方法方面的专业知识有限，这些方法是高质量调查护士研究人员和心理学家感兴趣的心理社会和自我管理问题的关键。该计划将护理和心理学联系起来，以认识到共同的学术兴趣和合作机构之间这两个学科之间的现有关系。该计划的设计建立在合作、长期指导和对受训者设计、实施和评估指导研究的持续支持的基础上，这些研究与中国直接相关，并延伸到面临成熟艾滋病毒流行的类似国家。预计这项计划将大幅增加年轻和职业生涯中期护士的数量-科学家、心理学家和其他从事与艾滋病毒/艾滋病的心理健康和行为方面相关研究的人。能力增加的衡量标准是：学员开展的研究项目的数量；同行评议的出版物和专业介绍的数量；成功申请外部资金的数量；学员教授的课程和指导的个人数量。
