 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): To provide optimal HIV treatment and prevent new infections among women and adolescent girls in Kenya, it is necessary to conduct locally relevant research that addresses the know-do gap and can be readily translated into national guidelines, clinical practice and policy. The proposed training program's primary goal is to build capacity at the Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI) in implementation science focused on HIV, women and adolescents while creating bridges to other organizations responsible for healthcare practice and service delivery. KEMRI's strong commitment to conducting research that informs service delivery and improves national health outcomes in Kenya forms the foundation for the program. This foundation is strengthened by the University of Washington's (UW) long-term collaboration with KEMRI and other Kenyan institutions, such as the National AIDS and STD Control Program (NASCOP). The program will be led by Dr. Carey Farquhar, UW Professor of Medicine, Epidemiology and Global Health, and Director of two large HIV training programs in Africa, and by Dr. Elizabeth Bukusi, an obstetrician-gynecologist with extensive research experience who is currently Deputy Director of Research and Training at KEMRI. The first aim of the proposed program will build implementation science research capacity at KEMRI and NASCOP by training 8 medical doctors in master's and doctoral programs offered by the UW School of Public Health. After 9 months of coursework in Seattle, trainees will return to Kenya for 9 months to conduct implementation science research projects focused on HIV treatment and prevention for women with guidance from a team of UW, KEMRI and NASCOP Core Faculty. During this period they will also complete an externship at the Kenya Ministry of Health, CDC-Kenya, or another governmental or non-governmental organization working in HIV care and prevention for women and adolescents. The program's second aim will further strengthen capacity at KEMRI by supporting medium-term training for 5 faculty who have excelled in teaching and research at the graduate school. After 5 months at UW, faculty will return to KEMRI equipped to teach new courses in advanced research methods, implementation science and adolescent and women's health and having completed a grant proposal or manuscript related to women and HIV. The third aim will extend the reach of training to a greater number of KEMRI and NASCOP staff by providing 1-week workshops on implementation science, grant writing, and manuscript preparation; 1-day workshops for county medical directors will also be offered in collaboration with KEMRI staff to promote engagement of local care, treatment and prevention leaders in areas where women are hardest hit by the HIV epidemic. This three-tiered approach uses UW's well-established approaches to training, the proposed program to build greatly needed implementation science research capacity at KEMRI and its partner organization NASCOP and change the face of the HIV epidemic for women and adolescent girls in Kenya.

 描述（由申请人提供）：为了在肯尼亚提供最佳的艾滋病毒治疗并预防妇女和少女的新感染，有必要进行与当地相关的研究，以解决知识差距，并可以随时转化为国家指南，临床实践和政策。拟议的培训方案的主要目标是在肯尼亚医学研究所（KEMRI）建立以艾滋病毒、妇女和青少年为重点的实施科学能力，同时为负责医疗保健实践和服务提供的其他组织建立桥梁。KEMRI坚定地致力于开展研究，为提供服务提供信息并改善肯尼亚的国家卫生成果，这是该计划的基础。这个基础是由华盛顿的（UW）与KEMRI和其他肯尼亚机构，如国家艾滋病和性病控制计划（NASCOP）的长期合作大学加强。该计划将由华盛顿大学医学，流行病学和全球健康教授Carey Farquhar博士领导，他是非洲两个大型艾滋病毒培训计划的主任，并由伊丽莎白·布库西博士领导，她是一位具有丰富研究经验的妇产科医生，目前是KEMRI研究和培训副主任。拟议方案的第一个目标是通过在华盛顿大学公共卫生学院提供的硕士和博士课程中培训8名医生，在KEMRI和NASCOP建立实施科学研究能力。在西雅图完成9个月的课程后，学员将返回肯尼亚9个月，在华盛顿大学、KEMRI和NASCOP核心教师团队的指导下，开展侧重于妇女艾滋病毒治疗和预防的实施科学研究项目。在此期间，他们还将在肯尼亚卫生部、肯尼亚疾病预防控制中心或其他从事妇女和青少年艾滋病毒护理和预防工作的政府或非政府组织完成实习。该计划的第二个目标是通过支持研究生院在教学和研究方面表现出色的5名教师的中期培训，进一步加强KEMRI的能力。在华盛顿大学5个月后，教师将返回KEMRI，配备先进的研究方法，实施科学和青少年和妇女健康的新课程，并完成了与妇女和艾滋病毒有关的赠款建议或手稿。第三个目标是通过提供为期一周的关于执行科学、赠款撰写和手稿编写的讲习班，将培训范围扩大到更多的肯尼亚经济管理研究所和国家艾滋病方案工作人员;还将与肯尼亚经济管理研究所工作人员合作，为县医疗主任提供为期一天的讲习班，以促进当地护理、治疗和预防领导人参与妇女受艾滋病毒流行病影响最严重的地区。这三个层次的方法使用UW的完善的方法来培训，拟议的方案，以建立急需的实施科学研究能力在KEMRI及其合作伙伴组织NASCOP和改变艾滋病毒流行的妇女和少女在肯尼亚的脸。
