DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Well-trained researchers are needed in the next decade to address the challenge of HIV/AIDS especially among children and adolescents. Effective programs are needed for both the prevention of HIV, as well as intervention for those infected by HIV. This research training program is directed at Ph.D. and M.D. fellows to prepare them to carry out independent research. The Bradley/Hasbro Children's Research Center has faculty with expertise in HIV prevention, other risk behaviors, normative development, psychopathology, and the psychology of physically ill youth. Additional faculty at Brown (through the Center for AIDS Research) have expertise in the medical care of HIV infected youth and adults, HIV testing, Treatment as Prevention, STIs, substance abuse, and international health. The strong faculty record of NIH funded research ensures that trainees are exposed to thriving areas of programmatic research. Trainees benefit from the accumulated and diverse expertise by having two mentors, each with a different focus. Mentors focus on either 1) child/adolescent behavioral health, developmental or mental health issues or 2) medical aspects of HIV research. Training involves interdisciplinary and translational elements to prepare trainees for the integration of the medical, psychiatric, and developmental issues and as it informs Biobehavioral HIV/AIDS Research. The program has a total of five postdoctoral trainees and two summer trainees each year. Two new psychology trainees are enrolled every year for a two-year fellowship(with an optional third year) and one new M.D. will be enrolled in alternate training years. Consistent with each trainee's individual needs, a graduated program for progressive independent research is designed. A formal training curriculum targets specific learning objectives aimed at skills needed for the next generation of HIV research. Core areas of learning include models of behavior and its change, behavioral assessment, mental health issues, biology and medical treatment of HIV, and medical aspects of prevention. Curriculum needs can be satisfied by HIV-specific seminars, general research design seminars, and by tutorial in addition to formal courses at Brown or nearby universities.

描述(由申请人提供)：未来十年需要训练有素的研究人员来应对艾滋病毒/艾滋病的挑战，特别是在儿童和青少年中。预防艾滋病毒和干预那些感染艾滋病毒的人都需要有效的方案。这项研究培训计划是针对博士和医学博士研究员，为他们进行独立研究做准备。布拉德利/孩之宝儿童研究中心拥有在艾滋病毒预防、其他危险行为、规范发展、精神病理学和身体疾病青年心理学方面的专业知识。布朗大学的其他教员(通过艾滋病研究中心)在艾滋病毒感染的青少年和成年人的医疗保健、艾滋病毒检测、预防治疗、性传播感染、药物滥用和国际卫生方面拥有专业知识。NIH资助研究的良好教师记录确保了受训者接触到蓬勃发展的项目研究领域。学员从积累的多样化专业知识中受益，因为他们有两位导师，每个导师都有不同的侧重点。导师专注于1)儿童/青少年行为健康、发育或心理健康问题或2)艾滋病毒研究的医学方面。培训涉及跨学科和翻译元素，以使受训者准备好整合医学、精神病学和发育问题，并为生物行为艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究提供信息。该项目每年共招收5名博士后实习生和2名暑期实习生。每年有两名新的心理学实习生参加为期两年的奖学金(第三年可选)，一名新的医学博士将每隔一年参加一次培训。根据每个受训者的个人需求，设计了渐进式独立研究的毕业计划。正式的培训课程以具体的学习目标为目标，旨在培养下一代艾滋病毒研究所需的技能。学习的核心领域包括行为模式及其变化、行为评估、心理健康问题、艾滋病毒的生物学和医学治疗，以及预防的医学方面。课程需求可以通过专门针对艾滋病毒的研讨会、一般研究设计研讨会以及布朗大学或附近大学的正规课程之外的辅导来满足。
