Interdisciplinary HIV Prevention Training Program

描述(由申请人提供)：NRSA T32 MH20031的续签申请旨在继续耶鲁大学艾滋病跨学科研究中心(CIRA)在艾滋病毒预防研究方面非常成功的博士后和博士后奖学金培训计划(于1999年建立)。在过去的14年里，我们成功地培训了博士后研究员，在过去的9年里，年轻的、职业生涯早期的科学家在我们的博士前培训部分蓬勃发展。总部设在耶鲁大学耶鲁公共卫生学院的CIRA提供了一个特殊的培训环境，继续与不断变化的艾滋病毒/艾滋病大流行保持同步。我们的培训计划在提供以下观点方面是独一无二的：关注弱势和未得到充分服务的人群-强调定量和定性分析方法严谨的坚实培训基础-进行基于道德的、基于社区的国内和国际研究的机会-以及实施科学技能和方法，以支持针对当地情况和研究人群量身定做的干预措施的设计和评估。我们要求继续为每年3个博士后和6个博士后提供支持。博士后和博士后奖学金的重点都是在教师导师的指导下进行研究、分析、撰写论文和撰写论文。我们所有的研究员都被要求参加每周一次的 研讨会和系列讲座。此外，博士前培训还包括：正式课程工作、研究指导、研讨会、课外课程和会议、资格考试和论文研究。我们对未来科学家进行艾滋病毒预防研究职业培训的方法将强调研究员研究指导的灵活性和个人化，同时认识到方法和负责任的研究行为的核心培训的重要性。在过去的14年里，我们成功地培训了44名博士后研究员和9名博士后研究员，并将继续培训来自不同学科的博士后研究员。研究员既接触到并积极合作，广泛的研究和职业轨迹，有一个前所未有的机会发表自己的研究。因此，我们相信，我们有能力培养具有最坚实的知识、技能和经验基础的博士后和博士后研究员，以实现和维持科学研究人员的职业生涯，为艾滋病毒预防，特别是一般公共卫生方面的进步做出贡献。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This Renewal Application for NRSA T32 MH20031 seeks to continue a highly successful Pre- and Post- Doctoral Fellowship Training Program (established in 1999) in HIV prevention research at Yale University's Center for Interdisciplinary Research on AIDS (CIRA). Over the past fourteen years we have successfully trained Post-Doctoral Fellows, with younger, early-career scientists thriving in our Pre-Doctoral Training component over the past nine years. CIRA, housed within the Yale School of Public Health at Yale University, provides an exceptional training environment that continues to keep step with the changing HIV/AIDS pandemic. Our training program is unique in providing the following combination of perspectives: a focus on vulnerable and underserved populations~ a strong foundation of training that emphasizes methodological rigor in both quantitative and qualitative analyses~ opportunities to conduct ethically sound, community based research, domestically and internationally~ and implementation science skills and methods to support the design and evaluation of interventions that are tailored to local contexts and study populations. We are requesting continued support for 3 Pre-Doctoral and 6 Post-Doctoral slots per year. The focus of both the Pre- and Post-Doctoral Fellowship is "hands on" conduct of research, analysis, paper and grant writing with a faculty mentor. All of our fellows are required to participate in a weekly seminar and lecture series. In addition, the Pre-Doctoral training also includes: formal course work, research preceptorship, seminars, outside courses and meetings, qualifying examinations, and dissertation research. Our approach to training future scientists for careers in HIV prevention research will emphasize flexibility and individual tailoring of Fellows' research preceptorships, while recognizing the importance of core training in methodology and the responsible conduct of research. Over the past 14 years we have successfully trained, and continue to train, 44 Post-Doctoral Fellows and 9 Pre-Doctoral fellows from a variety of disciplines. Fellows are both exposed to, and actively collaborate in, a wide array of studies and career trajectories, with an unprecedented opportunity to publish their own research. We are, therefore, confident in our ability to prepare both Pre- and Post-Doctoral Fellows with the strongest foundation of knowledge, skills, and experience to achieve and sustain careers as scientific investigators, contributing to advances in HIV prevention, specifically, and public health, in general.
