DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Although there is a cadre of experienced investigators in Puerto Rico who have made significant contributions to the field of HIV/AIDS, we believe that the research workforce needs to be sustained, diversified and further prepared to be able to respond to the challenges faced by people living with HIV. We propose to continue and expand the University of Puerto Rico Mentoring Institute for HIV and Mental Health Research (MI-HMHR) scope of work. The MI-HMHR is currently responsible for providing services and promoting training and developmental initiatives to support a cadre of HIV/AIDS junior investigators. It is also responsible for guaranteeing that there is a well-trained and interested group of researchers in the pipeline in order to sustain and advance knowledge to respond to the complexities of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. This Institute is mainly concerned with providing adequate support to the research workforce, from a developmental perspective. During the past three years it has sponsored talented researchers from four participating universities- University of Puerto Rico Medical Sciences Campus, Universidad Central del Caribe School of Medicine, Ponce School of Medicine, and Nova Southeastern University College of Pharmacy. It provides the adequate context and resources for their development into independent researchers by offering group and individually tailored support and mentoring. We propose to use the following strategies in the renewal cycle: (1) a mentoring program to establish successful relationships between 22 junior researchers and senior researchers, (2) trainings for the development of research competencies and the exploration of new methods and perspectives, (3) pilot funding (to implement a project and enhance productivity of junior investigators), and (4) a "mentor the mentors" program. The activities proposed under each component will benefit from the lessons learned during the past three years. We believe that these components are key for the comprehensive development of an investigator. They complement each other in facilitating core and cross-cutting skills and competences needed to pursue and sustain a successful research career. Each component will be evaluated to assess its process, outcomes and effectiveness.

描述（由申请人提供）：尽管波多黎各的经验丰富的调查员干部为艾滋病毒/艾滋病领域做出了重大贡献，但我们认为，研究劳动力需要持续，多元化，并准备进一步准备，以便能够应对患有艾滋病毒的人面临的挑战。我们建议继续并扩大波多黎各大学的艾滋病毒和心理健康研究所（MI-HMHR）的工作范围。 Mi-HMHR目前负责提供服务，并促进培训和发展计划，以支持艾滋病毒/艾滋病初级调查人员的干部。它还负责确保管道中有一个训练有素且感兴趣的研究人员群体，以维持和提高知识，以应对艾滋病毒/艾滋病流行的复杂性。该研究所主要关注从发展的角度为研究人员提供足够的支持。在过去的三年中，它赞助了来自四所大学大学的才华横溢的研究人员 - 波多黎各大学医学科学校园，中央德尔加勒比大学医学院，庞塞医学院和诺瓦东南大学药学院。它通过提供小组并进行单独量身定制的支持和指导，为他们发展为独立研究人员提供了足够的背景和资源。 We propose to use the following strategies in the renewal cycle: (1) a mentoring program to establish successful relationships between 22 junior researchers and senior researchers, (2) trainings for the development of research competencies and the exploration of new methods and perspectives, (3) pilot funding (to implement a project and enhance productivity of junior investigators), and (4) a "mentor the mentors" program.每个组件下提出的活动将受益于过去三年中所学的教训。我们认为，这些组件是研究人员全面发展的关键。他们相互补充，促进核心和交叉切割技巧以及追求和维持成功的研究职业所需的能力。将评估每个组件以评估其过程，结果和有效性。
