DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): While the scale of the HIV epidemic remains large, it has entered a promising new phase, marked by unprecedented progress and opportunities. In view of the need to rigorously test interventions to improve the uptake, implementation, and translation of recent scientific findings into standard of care (the know-do gap), as well as to evaluate the impact of bringing such interventions to scale, we propose to launch a new research training program focused on Global HIV Implementation Science. Implementation science is the scientific study of methods to promote integration of research findings and evidence-based interventions into health care policy and practice, thus improving the quality and effectiveness of health services. A key element of translational research, implementation science encompasses a broad range of skills, including epidemiology, biostatistics, health economics, decision science, and sociology. The goal of the proposed Training Program is to prepare well qualified individuals for careers as independently-funded researchers and for leadership in global HIV implementation research. We have assembled an outstanding group of diverse faculty from multiple schools, departments, and centers at Columbia University and abroad who have distinguished themselves in mentorship and are leading cutting edge implementation research addressing HIV prevention among key populations, linkage to and retention in care, prevention of mother to child transmission, and TB/HIV integration. The Training Program will encompass streamlined coursework based on an individualized training plan; weekly faculty-trainee seminars; tailored mentorship; research experience in a variety of domestic and international field settings; presentations; manuscript and grant preparation; research seminars and colloquia; and instruction in the responsible conduct of research. The Training Program will also include rigorous evaluation of the quality and effectiveness of the Training Program, to ensure that trainees achieve the competencies and skills necessary for success as future leaders in HIV implementation science research. The five-year program aims to support seven (three predoctoral and four postdoctoral) trainees at any one time. Among the postdoctoral trainees, a mix of trainees with PhD, DrPH, and MD degrees will be sought. Predoctoral trainees will be required to pursue a doctoral degree in Epidemiology. The period of support will be three years for predoctoral candidates and two years for postdoctoral candidates. With stellar faculty, a unique training environment, and unparalleled research opportunities in domestic and international field settings, we are well-poised to lead this novel effort and nurture new investigators trained in multidimensional, interdisciplinary approaches to advance scientific knowledge and demonstrate the impact of interventions.

描述（由申请人提供）：虽然艾滋病毒流行的规模仍然很大，但它已经进入了一个充满希望的新阶段，标志着前所未有的进步和机遇。鉴于有必要严格测试干预措施，以改善最新科学发现的吸收，实施和转化为护理标准（知识差距），以及评估将此类干预措施扩大规模的影响，我们建议启动一项新的研究培训计划，重点是全球艾滋病毒实施科学。实施科学是一门研究方法的科学，旨在促进将研究成果和循证干预措施纳入卫生保健政策和实践，从而提高卫生服务的质量和有效性。作为转化研究的一个关键要素，实施科学涵盖了广泛的技能，包括流行病学，生物统计学，卫生经济学，决策科学和社会学。拟议的培训方案的目标是培养合格的个人作为独立资助的研究人员的职业生涯，并在全球艾滋病毒实施研究的领导地位。我们已经聚集了来自多个学校，部门和中心在哥伦比亚大学和国外谁在导师中脱颖而出，是领先的前沿实施研究解决艾滋病毒预防的关键人群，链接和保留护理，预防母婴传播，和结核病/艾滋病的整合不同的教师的优秀团队。培训计划将包括基于个性化培训计划的精简课程;每周教师培训研讨会;量身定制的导师;在各种国内和国际领域设置的研究经验;演示文稿;手稿和赠款准备;研究研讨会和座谈会;以及负责任的研究行为指导。培训方案还将包括对培训方案的质量和有效性进行严格评估，以确保受训人员获得必要的能力和技能，成为未来艾滋病毒实施科学研究的领导者。 该计划为期五年，旨在支持7名（3名博士前和4名博士后）学员在任何时候。在博士后培训生中，将寻求具有博士，博士和医学博士学位的培训生的混合。博士预科生将被要求攻读流行病学博士学位。支持期将为三年的博士前候选人和两年的博士后候选人。凭借一流的师资队伍，独特的培训环境以及国内和国际领域无与伦比的研究机会，我们准备好领导这项新的努力，并培养新的调查人员，这些调查人员接受多维度，跨学科的方法培训，以推进科学知识并展示干预措施的影响。
