UCLA/Vietnam Training Program in Evaluation and Advanced Methodologies

 描述(由申请人提供)：加州大学洛杉矶分校公共卫生学院和越南河内医科大学(HMU)提议在高级研究方法和艾滋病毒/艾滋病方面合作培训计划。拟议的项目将在加州大学洛杉矶分校为来自越南的硕士和博士学员提供学术培训。硕士论文和博士论文的实地考察将在越南进行，并将由加州大学洛杉矶分校和哈佛大学的教职员工、培训咨询委员会(TAC)成员以及前加州大学洛杉矶分校/福格蒂艾滋病国际培训与研究项目(AITRP)的某些毕业生指导。此外，该项目将在加州大学洛杉矶分校为HMU的高级教职员工提供为期9个月的博士后培训。在完成为期9个月的培训后，加州大学洛杉矶分校的教职员工将与HMU教职员工合作，在国内举办暑期研究所和研讨会，内容涉及基于社区的干预措施、实施科学、项目监测和评估、研究伦理、队列研究设计和评估、高级数据管理/统计分析以及拨款编写和管理。拟议的战略将建设HMU在高级研究方法方面的新课程的教学和课程开发能力。拟议的培训计划不仅将加强HMU的研究能力，还将对越南的其他医疗和公共卫生机构产生重大影响。它将有助于解决国家艾滋病毒/艾滋病计划确定的关键差距，并有助于加强越南艾滋病毒研究和控制计划的可持续性和质量。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The UCLA School of Public Health and the Hanoi Medical University (HMU) in Vietnam propose to collaborate on a training program in advanced research methodology and HIV/AIDS. The proposed program will provide academic training at UCLA for MS and PhD trainees from Vietnam. The fieldwork for the MS theses and PhD dissertations will be conducted in Vietnam, and will be mentored by UCLA and HMU faculty, members of the Training Advisory Committee (TAC), and certain graduates of the previous UCLA/Fogarty AIDS International Training & Research Program (AITRP). In addition, the program will provide nine-month postdoctoral training at UCLA for senior faculty members from HMU. Upon completion of the nine-month training, UCLA faculty will collaborate with HMU faculty to conduct in-country summer institutes and workshops on community-based interventions, implementation science, program monitoring and evaluation, research ethics, cohort study design and evaluation, advanced data management/statistical analysis, and grant writing and management. The proposed strategy will build teaching and curriculum development capacities for HMU for new courses in advanced research methodologies. The proposed training program will not only strengthen the research capacity at HMU, but will also have a significant impact on other medical and public health institutions in Vietnam. It will contribute t addressing the critical gap identified by the National HIV/AIDS Program and help to strengthen the sustainability and quality of HIV research and control programs in Vietnam.
