DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Well-trained researchers are needed in the next decade to address the challenge of HIV/AIDS especially among children and adolescents. Effective programs are needed for both the prevention of HIV, as well as intervention for those infected by HIV. This research training program is directed at Ph.D. and M.D. fellows to prepare them to carry out independent research. The Bradley/Hasbro Children's Research Center has faculty with expertise in HIV prevention, other risk behaviors, normative development, psychopathology, and the psychology of physically ill youth. Additional faculty at Brown (through the Center for AIDS Research) have expertise in the medical care of HIV infected youth and adults, HIV testing, Treatment as Prevention, STIs, substance abuse, and international health. The strong faculty record of NIH funded research ensures that trainees are exposed to thriving areas of programmatic research. Trainees benefit from the accumulated and diverse expertise by having two mentors, each with a different focus. Mentors focus on either 1) child/adolescent behavioral health, developmental or mental health issues or 2) medical aspects of HIV research. Training involves interdisciplinary and translational elements to prepare trainees for the integration of the medical, psychiatric, and developmental issues and as it informs Biobehavioral HIV/AIDS Research. The program has a total of five postdoctoral trainees and two summer trainees each year. Two new psychology trainees are enrolled every year for a two-year fellowship(with an optional third year) and one new M.D. will be enrolled in alternate training years. Consistent with each trainee's individual needs, a graduated program for progressive independent research is designed. A formal training curriculum targets specific learning objectives aimed at skills needed for the next generation of HIV research. Core areas of learning include models of behavior and its change, behavioral assessment, mental health issues, biology and medical treatment of HIV, and medical aspects of prevention. Curriculum needs can be satisfied by HIV-specific seminars, general research design seminars, and by tutorial in addition to formal courses at Brown or nearby universities.

描述（由申请人提供）：未来十年需要训练有素的研究人员来应对艾滋病毒/艾滋病的挑战，特别是儿童和青少年的挑战。预防艾滋病毒以及对艾滋病毒感染者进行干预都需要有效的计划。该研究培训计划针对博士生。和医学博士研究员，帮助他们做好独立研究的准备。布拉德利/孩之宝儿童研究中心拥有在艾滋病毒预防、其他危险行为、规范发展、精神病理学和患有身体疾病的青少年心理学方面具有专业知识的教师。布朗大学的其他教员（通过艾滋病研究中心）拥有艾滋病毒感染青少年和成人的医疗护理、艾滋病毒检测、预防治疗、性传播感染、药物滥用和国际卫生方面的专业知识。 NIH 资助的研究的强大师资记录确保学员能够接触到蓬勃发展的规划研究领域。学员有两位导师，每位导师都有不同的侧重点，因此学员可以从积累的多样化专业知识中受益。导师重点关注 1) 儿童/青少年行为健康、发育或心理健康问题或 2) HIV 研究的医学方面。培训涉及跨学科和转化元素，帮助学员做好整合医学、精神病学和发育问题的准备，并为生物行为艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究提供信息。该项目每年共有五名博士后实习生和两名暑期实习生。每年都会招收两名新的心理学实习生，为期两年的研究金（第三年可选），并在交替培训年招收一名新的医学博士。根据每位学员的个人需求，设计了渐进式独立研究的毕业课程。正式的培训课程针对特定的学习目标，旨在培养下一代艾滋病毒研究所需的技能。学习的核心领域包括行为模型及其变化、行为评估、心理健康问题、艾滋病毒的生物学和医学治疗以及预防的医学方面。课程需求可以通过针对艾滋病毒的研讨会、一般研究设计研讨会以及布朗大学或附近大学的正式课程之外的辅导来满足。
