DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Founded in 1963, the University Eduardo Mondlane (UEM) Faculty of Medicine is Mozambique's oldest and largest medical school, located in the nation's capital, Maputo. UEM has established a vibrant outcomes research partnership with the Vanderbilt Institute for Global Health (VIGH) within the HIV/AIDS work funded through the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). UEM and VIGH propose to train a new generation of Mozambican researchers with a focus on HIV/AIDS implementation science, taking full advantage of the VIGH body of extramurally-funded work in Mozambique. VIGH faculty members have worked intensively with UEM since 2007 to train Mozambican research scientists at both UEM and Vanderbilt University (VU), and to launch high-impact public health interventions linked to the VIGH-led PEPFAR HIV scale-up program in Zamb�zia Province. Aligned with the goals of the FIC Fogarty HIV Research Training Program for Low-and Middle-Income Country (LMIC) Institutions to develop and strengthen the scientific leadership and expertise needed for HIV-related research at eligible LMIC institutions, we have designed a comprehensive training program that is built upon the foundations laid by our UEM-VIGH team to date. We expect to help raise UEM-led implementation science research and research training to a higher plane of productivity and quality. The UEM/VU AITRP (UV-AITRP) is designed to capacitate UEM faculty to become a highly functioning conduit for developing Mozambican research leaders. VIGH will assist UEM to capacitate both current and future faculty to teach and conduct HIV-focused implementation science research. Our Specific Aims are to 1) Enhance research capacity at the UEM Faculty of Medicine with a focus on HIV/AIDS implementation science research targeting 3 key areas - 1) clinical epidemiology/biostatistics, quality improvement/health services, and biomedical informatics, 2) Strengthen and expand the UEM faculty pool in the HIV/AIDS implementation science research, 3) Nurture innovative research by AITRP trainees/alumni to address HIV care and treatment scale-up via "Career Bridging" mentored research project opportunities and ongoing career development mentoring. The UV-AITRP will represent the first major investment in UEM graduate medical education and will be complementary to the current Mozambique Medical Education Partnership Initiative (MEPI, with UCSD) that focuses on post-graduate clinical training. The UV-AITRP will rather focus on graduate-level education and faculty development in Community Medicine. We describe our strong partnership with PEPFAR in Mozambique and the links we have with other NIH/FIC training programs. We further highlight our rationale for the training partners, our successes in past training through 19 years of our AITRP program history, and our success in leveraging training funds for securing substantial research resources for our graduates.

Eduardo Mondlane大学（UEM）医学院成立于1963年，是莫桑比克最古老，最大的医学院，位于该国首都马普托。UEM已经建立了一个充满活力的成果研究伙伴关系与范德比尔特研究所全球健康（VIGH）在艾滋病毒/艾滋病工作通过总统的艾滋病紧急救援计划（PEPFAR）资助。UEM和VIGH建议培训新一代莫桑比克研究人员，重点是艾滋病毒/艾滋病实施科学，充分利用VIGH在莫桑比克的校外资助工作。自2007年以来，VIGH教师与UEM密切合作，在UEM和范德比尔特大学（VU）培训莫桑比克研究科学家，并在赞比西亚省推出与VIGH领导的PEPFAR艾滋病毒扩大计划相关的高影响力公共卫生干预措施。与FIC福格蒂艾滋病毒研究培训计划的低收入和中等收入国家（LMIC）机构的目标相一致，以发展和加强符合条件的LMIC机构艾滋病毒相关研究所需的科学领导力和专业知识，我们设计了一个全面的培训计划，该计划建立在我们的UEM-VIGH团队迄今为止奠定的基础上。我们希望帮助提高UEM主导的实施科学研究和研究培训，以提高生产力和质量。UEM/VU AITRP（UV-AITRP）旨在使UEM教师成为发展莫桑比克研究领导者的高功能管道。VIGH将协助UEM使当前和未来的教师能够教授和进行以艾滋病毒为重点的实施科学研究。我们的具体目标是：1）提高医学UEM学院的研究能力，重点是针对3个关键领域的艾滋病毒/艾滋病实施科学研究-1）临床流行病学/生物统计学，质量改进/卫生服务和生物医学信息学，2）加强和扩大UEM教师库在艾滋病毒/艾滋病实施科学研究，3）通过"职业桥梁"指导的研究项目机会和持续的职业发展指导，培养AITRP学员/校友的创新研究，以解决艾滋病毒护理和治疗规模的扩大。UV-AITRP将代表UEM研究生医学教育的第一笔重大投资，并将补充目前莫桑比克医学教育伙伴关系倡议（MEPI，与UCSD），重点是研究生临床培训。UV-AITRP将侧重于社区医学的研究生教育和教师发展。我们描述了我们与PEPFAR在莫桑比克的强有力的伙伴关系，以及我们与其他NIH/FIC培训计划的联系。我们进一步强调了我们的培训合作伙伴的理由，我们在过去的培训中取得的成功，通过我们的AITRP计划的19年历史，以及我们在利用培训资金为我们的毕业生确保大量的研究资源的成功。
