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.

描述(申请人提供)：爱德华多·蒙德兰大学医学院成立于1963年，是莫桑比克历史最悠久、规模最大的医学院，位于该国首都马普托。UEM与范德比尔特全球卫生研究所(VIGH)在由总统艾滋病紧急救济计划(PEPFAR)资助的艾滋病毒/艾滋病工作中建立了充满活力的成果研究伙伴关系。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机构在莫桑比克开展的外部资助工作。自2007年以来，VIGH的教职员工一直与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Zamb�Zia省推出与VIGH领导的PEPFAR艾滋病毒扩大项目相关的高影响力公共卫生干预措施。根据FIC Fogarty面向中低收入国家(LMIC)机构的艾滋病毒研究培训计划的目标，我们设计了一个全面的培训计划，该计划建立在我们UEM-VIGH团队迄今奠定的基础上，以发展和加强符合条件的LMIC机构进行艾滋病毒相关研究所需的科学领导力和专业知识。我们希望帮助将UEM主导的实施科学研究和研究培训提高到更高的生产力和质量水平。UEM/VU AITRP(UV-AITRP)旨在培养UEM教师，使其成为培养莫桑比克研究带头人的高功能渠道。VIGH将协助UEM提高现有和未来教员的能力，以教授和开展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UEM医学院的研究能力，重点关注艾滋病毒/艾滋病实施科学研究，针对3个关键领域-1)临床流行病学/生物统计学、质量改进/医疗服务和生物医学信息学；2)加强和扩大UEM在艾滋病毒/艾滋病实施科学研究方面的师资队伍；3)培养AITRP学员/校友的创新研究，通过“职业搭桥”指导研究项目机会和持续的职业发展指导，解决艾滋病毒护理和治疗的规模扩大问题。UV-AITRP将是UEM医学研究生教育的第一笔重大投资，将是对目前莫桑比克医学教育伙伴关系倡议(MEPI)的补充，该倡议的重点是研究生临床培训。UV-AITRP将更多地关注社区医学的研究生教育和教师发展。我们描述了我们在莫桑比克与PEPFAR的紧密合作关系，以及我们与其他NIH/FIC培训项目的联系。我们进一步强调了我们培训合作伙伴的理由，我们在过去19年AITRP项目历史中培训的成功，以及我们在利用培训资金为毕业生获得大量研究资源方面的成功。
