DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The prevalence of HIV/AIDS in Cambodia increased sharply in the 1990s, reaching upwards of 40% among high-risk populations.2 While the prevalence rate declined to approximately 0.9% by 2006, it remains inflated among high-risk groups.3 In the wake of the epidemic, the Cambodian government initiated national data collection and disease monitoring efforts that have produced rich, longitudinal data from HIV/AIDS treatment and surveillance programs. However, a shortage of professionals trained to manage and interpret these types of data, persists. The UCLA Department of Epidemiology and the Cambodian University of Health Sciences (UHS) propose a program to train a cohort of Cambodian public health professionals in the management, analysis and evaluation of secondary data. Trainees will have two tracks from which to choose. The UCLA MS/MPH track requires coursework in epidemiologic methods and principles, biostatistics, data management, behavioral sciences and HIV/AIDS epidemiology. This track also requires completion of a master's project that must be relevant for HIV/AIDS policy development in Cambodia. The UCLA PhD track requires trainees complete core courses in epidemiology as well as courses in logic, causation and probability, the biology of HIV/AIDS, graduate statistics and pass a qualifying exam. Trainees then carry out a dissertation in Cambodia that is relevant to HIV/AIDS policy. The overall program will be assessed based on trainee progress and matriculation rates; thesis/dissertation quality, policy relevance and the proportion published; the program's impact on UHS recruitment rates and trainee placement in national HIV/AIDS monitoring and data analysis roles.

描述（申请人提供）：20世纪90年代，柬埔寨艾滋病毒/艾滋病的流行率急剧上升，在高危人群中达到40%以上。2虽然到2006年，流行率下降到约0.9%，但在高危群体中仍然居高不下。柬埔寨政府发起了全国数据收集和疾病监测工作，从艾滋病毒/艾滋病治疗和监测项目中获得了丰富的纵向数据。然而，仍然缺乏经过培训的专业人员来管理和解释这些类型的数据。加州大学洛杉矶分校流行病学系和柬埔寨健康科学大学（UHS）提出了一项计划，培训一批柬埔寨公共卫生专业人员管理，分析和评估二级数据。学员将有两条路线可供选择。UCLA MS/MPH轨道需要在流行病学方法和原则，生物统计学，数据管理，行为科学和艾滋病毒/艾滋病流行病学的课程。这条轨道还要求完成一个硕士项目，必须是相关的艾滋病毒/艾滋病政策在柬埔寨的发展。加州大学洛杉矶分校的博士课程要求学员完成流行病学核心课程以及逻辑、因果关系和概率、艾滋病毒/艾滋病生物学、研究生统计学等课程，并通过资格考试，然后在柬埔寨完成与艾滋病毒/艾滋病政策有关的论文。整个计划将根据学员进度和入学率进行评估;论文/学位论文质量、政策相关性和发表比例;该计划对UHS招聘率和国家艾滋病毒/艾滋病监测和数据分析角色中学员安置的影响。
