Training in STIs and infections of global health significance

项目总结/摘要 这是该机构国家研究服务奖（T32 AI 07637）的第三次竞争性更新， 以前题为“包括艾滋病毒在内的性传播疾病培训”。有了这个应用程序， 扩大了所涉病原体的范围，因此将标题改为“ 性传播感染和其他具有全球健康意义的感染”。该计划提出培训3名后， 博士生（MD和PhD）每年。这项多学科培训计划的主要使命是 仍然是合格的MD和博士科学家的生产和可持续的研究事业的培训。 随着日益全球化，我们必须培养拥有必要工具的调查人员， 针对具有全球卫生意义的感染制定预防和治疗战略。这需要 在从实验室到实地的研究技能范围内接受过培训的个人。的基础 TSTI-OIGHS是分子生物学，免疫学，临床试验设计，生物统计学， 行为科学，全球健康，流行病学和实施科学， 生产性研究项目。通过职业发展、教育和 研究培训（CERT）中心附属于印第安纳州临床和转化科学研究所 （CTSI）和理查德M. IUPUI的费尔班克斯公共卫生学院补充了实践培训。这 培训计划利用了来自六个部门的17名全职教师导师和11名资源教师的技能， 训练我们的同伴TSTI-OIGHS内的培训围绕三个轨道进行：1）基础科学，2） 行为和临床科学和3）全球健康，流行病学和实施科学。作为团队 科学正在迅速成为生物医学科学家解决复杂问题的主要运作模式， 与人类健康有关的问题，我们的培训特别强调培训熟悉 与实践，程序，和语言的合作所必需的创造和工作中， 富有成效的科学团队该培训计划利用了印第安纳州的基础设施和专业知识 大学全球健康中心支持获得医疗保健的学术模式（AMPATH）， 肯尼亚西部，这一伙伴关系已被美国国立卫生研究院公认为国际合作的典范。 自2006年以来，从该计划毕业的12名研究员中，83%留在学术医学和/或研究领域。 三分之一的毕业研究员在印第安纳州大学医学院以外的地方工作。另外这款 培训补助金是印第安纳州大学医学院的一个非常有价值的渠道。所有这些因素 使印第安纳州大学成为培养下一代传染病和全球卫生专家的理想场所 意义

PROJECT SUMMARY/ ABSTRACT This is the third competitive renewal of this Institutional National Research Service Award (T32 AI07637) that was previously entitled “Training in Sexually Transmitted Diseases Including HIV”. With this application we are expanding in the breadth of pathogens addressed which has resulted in a change of the title to “Training in STIs and Other Infections of Global Health Significance” (TSTI-OIGHS). The program proposes to train 3 post- doctoral Trainees (MD and PhD) per year. The primary mission of this multidisciplinary training program remains the training of well qualified MD and PhD scientists for productive and sustainable careers in research. With increasing globalization it is imperative that we develop investigators who have the tools necessary to develop prevention and treatment strategies directed at infections of global health significance. This requires individuals trained in the spectrum of research skills ranging from the bench to the field. The foundation of the TSTI-OIGHS is practical training in Molecular Biology, Immunology, Clinical Trials Design, Biostatistics, Behavioral Science, Global Health, Epidemiology and Implementation Science within established and productive research programs. Formal didactic training through the Career development, Education and Research Training (CERT) Center affiliated with the Indiana Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute (CTSI) and the Richard M. Fairbanks School of Public Health at IUPUI complements the practical training. This training program draws on the skills of 17 full faculty mentors and 11 resource faculty from six Departments for training our fellows. Training within the TSTI-OIGHS is structure around three tracks: 1) Basic Science, 2) Behavioral and Clinical Science and 3) Global Health, Epidemiology and Implementation Science. As team science is rapidly becoming the primary mode of operation for biomedical scientists addressing complex questions related to human health, our training particularly emphases training investigators who are familiar with the practices, procedures, and languages of collaboration necessary for creating and working within a productive scientific team. This training program leverages the infrastructure and expertise of the Indiana University Center for Global Health which supports the Academic Model of Access to Healthcare (AMPATH) in western Kenya, a partnership that has been recognized as a model for international collaboration by the NIH. Of the 12 fellows graduating from this program since 2006, 83% remain in academic medicine and/or research. One third of graduated fellows old positions outside of Indiana University School of Medicine. In addition, this training grant is a highly valued pipeline for Indiana University School of Medicine Faculty. All of these factors make Indiana University an ideal place to train the next generation of experts in infectious of global health significance.
