UCLA/China CDC Training Program in Advanced Research Methodologies

描述（由申请人提供）：中国已在全国范围内全面收集艾滋病毒诊断、治疗和艾滋病毒/艾滋病患者生存情况以及药物替代项目参与者的数据，这为监测项目和制定干预策略提供了宝贵的资源。然而，中国缺乏足够训练有素的研究人员来分析这些庞大的数据集。因此，中国疾病预防控制中心（China CDC）和加州大学洛杉矶分校公共卫生学院（UCLA SPH）提出了一项联合双轨计划，以增强中国疾病预防控制中心作为中国主要卫生研究机构的研究能力。中国疾病预防控制中心现在能够在合作提供研究方法方面的高级培训方面发挥积极作用。因此，我们建议在中国疾控中心和加州大学洛杉矶分校 SPH 开展双轨计划，并在中国疾控中心举办一系列先进方法研讨会。博士中国疾病预防控制中心的学员将在中国疾病预防控制中心完成第一年的课程，第二年在加州大学洛杉矶分校学习高级数据管理和分析，并获得加州大学洛杉矶分校的公共卫生硕士学位。然后他们将返回中国完成论文实地工作。加州大学洛杉矶分校博士学员将用两年半的时间在加州大学洛杉矶分校完成课程作业，然后在中国制定、实施、分析并发表一项与艾滋病毒政策相关的研究报告。来自加州大学洛杉矶分校和中国疾病预防控制中心的教师将担任加州大学洛杉矶分校和中国疾病预防控制中心实习生的博士委员会成员。根据拟议的共享培训计划，加州大学洛杉矶分校将支持加州大学洛杉矶分校的活动，中国疾病预防控制中心将支持在中国的活动，包括博士生项目。程序。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): China has implemented comprehensive nation-wide data collection on HIV diagnosis, treatment and survival of HIV/AIDS patients, and on participants in the drug replacement programs, which provides an invaluable resource for monitoring the programs and informing intervention strategies. However, China lacks enough well-trained research personnel to be able to analyze these large data sets. Therefore, the Chinese Centers for Disease Control (China CDC) and the UCLA School of Public Health (UCLA SPH) propose a joint two-track program to enhance the research capability of the China CDC, which is the major health research institution in China. The China CDC is now in a position to take an active role in collaboratively providing advanced training in research methodology. Therefore, we propose a two-track program in the China CDC and the UCLA SPH and a series of workshops on advanced methodology at the China CDC. Ph.D. trainees at the China CDC will spend their first year completed course work at the China CDC and their second year studying advanced data management and analysis at UCLA, for which they will receive a MPH degree from UCLA. They will then return to China to complete their dissertation field work. The UCLA Ph.D. trainees will spend two and half years completing course work at UCLA, then develop, implement, analyze, and publish a research study in China relevant to HIV policy. Faculty from both UCLA and the China CDC will serve on the doctoral committees of both the UCLA and China CDC trainees. Under the proposed shared training program, UCLA will support the activities at UCLA and the China CDC will support the activities in China, including the Ph.D. program.
