Interdisciplinary HIV Prevention Training Program

描述（由申请人提供）：NRSA T32 MH 20031的更新申请旨在继续在耶鲁大学艾滋病跨学科研究中心（CIRA）的艾滋病预防研究中非常成功的博士前和博士后奖学金培训计划（成立于1999年）。在过去的14年里，我们成功地培养了博士后研究员，在过去的9年里，年轻的，早期的科学家在我们的博士前培训部分蓬勃发展。CIRA设在耶鲁大学耶鲁公共卫生学院内，提供了一个特殊的培训环境，继续与不断变化的艾滋病毒/艾滋病流行保持同步。我们的培训计划是独一无二的，提供以下观点的组合：重点关注弱势群体和服务不足的人群-一个强有力的培训基础，强调定量和定性分析方法的严谨性-有机会进行道德上健全的、基于社区的研究，国内和国际~和实施科学技能和方法，以支持设计和评估针对当地情况和研究人群的干预措施。我们要求继续支持每年3个博士前和6个博士后职位。博士前和博士后奖学金的重点是“动手”进行研究，分析，论文和赠款写作与教师导师。我们所有的研究员都被要求每周参加一次 研讨会和系列讲座。此外，博士前培训还包括：正式课程工作，研究preceptorship，研讨会，外部课程和会议，资格考试和论文研究。我们的方法来培训未来的科学家在艾滋病毒预防研究的职业生涯将强调研究员的研究指导的灵活性和个人定制，同时认识到在方法和负责任的研究行为的核心培训的重要性。在过去的14年中，我们已经成功地培养，并继续培养，44博士后研究员和9个博士前研究员从各种学科。研究员都接触到，并积极合作，广泛的研究和职业轨迹，有一个前所未有的机会发表自己的研究。因此，我们有信心，我们有能力准备前和博士后研究员的知识，技能和经验的最强基础，以实现和维持作为科学研究人员的职业生涯，促进艾滋病毒预防的进步，特别是，和公共卫生，一般。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This Renewal Application for NRSA T32 MH20031 seeks to continue a highly successful Pre- and Post- Doctoral Fellowship Training Program (established in 1999) in HIV prevention research at Yale University's Center for Interdisciplinary Research on AIDS (CIRA). Over the past fourteen years we have successfully trained Post-Doctoral Fellows, with younger, early-career scientists thriving in our Pre-Doctoral Training component over the past nine years. CIRA, housed within the Yale School of Public Health at Yale University, provides an exceptional training environment that continues to keep step with the changing HIV/AIDS pandemic. Our training program is unique in providing the following combination of perspectives: a focus on vulnerable and underserved populations~ a strong foundation of training that emphasizes methodological rigor in both quantitative and qualitative analyses~ opportunities to conduct ethically sound, community based research, domestically and internationally~ and implementation science skills and methods to support the design and evaluation of interventions that are tailored to local contexts and study populations. We are requesting continued support for 3 Pre-Doctoral and 6 Post-Doctoral slots per year. The focus of both the Pre- and Post-Doctoral Fellowship is "hands on" conduct of research, analysis, paper and grant writing with a faculty mentor. All of our fellows are required to participate in a weekly seminar and lecture series. In addition, the Pre-Doctoral training also includes: formal course work, research preceptorship, seminars, outside courses and meetings, qualifying examinations, and dissertation research. Our approach to training future scientists for careers in HIV prevention research will emphasize flexibility and individual tailoring of Fellows' research preceptorships, while recognizing the importance of core training in methodology and the responsible conduct of research. Over the past 14 years we have successfully trained, and continue to train, 44 Post-Doctoral Fellows and 9 Pre-Doctoral fellows from a variety of disciplines. Fellows are both exposed to, and actively collaborate in, a wide array of studies and career trajectories, with an unprecedented opportunity to publish their own research. We are, therefore, confident in our ability to prepare both Pre- and Post-Doctoral Fellows with the strongest foundation of knowledge, skills, and experience to achieve and sustain careers as scientific investigators, contributing to advances in HIV prevention, specifically, and public health, in general.
