Project Summary / Abstract Researchers at Mbarara University of Science and Technology (MUST) in rural Uganda have been very successful in collaborations with US institutions to conduct innovative HIV/AIDS and HIV related research. This has thus far meant, however, responding to externally guided projects as a Site PI rather than leading a self- designed or community led project as the Primary PI (see Research Plan - Table 1). This is because MUST is a relatively young university (founded in 1989) and strong basic science and clinical research programs take time and capacity to build. MUST leadership is now aligned in supporting the pivot towards self-direction and has begun to seek and receive research capacity building grants from the NIH and elsewhere. And today, researchers are readying themselves to participate on the global stage, with the understanding that in order for them to be at their most competitive, will also need a higher level of administrative initiative, guidance, support (see Research Plan - Table 2). This proposal is carefully designed to meet the demand by putting forth a comprehensive training and mentoring program that is targeted to address the administrative area that the MUST research community themselves identified as most in need of improvement: the “Research administration and management” function that is supported by this funding opportunity. If awarded, the MUST Research Implementation Committee (RIC) and UVA mentors will first record baselines and then set goals and deliverables with input from the TAC and MUST research community so that over the next three years, they will design and implement curricula to not only train the RIC but put in place standardized and sustainable processes and systems. This program will also develop MUST RIC mentoring and presentation skills, and finally, regularly assess progress and completion of actions and courses that will lead to skilled and efficient grant management support, successful proposal submissions, and over the medium and long term, obtainment of NIH awards as the primary recipient. Successful completion of the proposed aims will: • increase the quantity of proposals submitted directly by MUST HIV/AIDS researchers; • increase the quality of proposals submitted directly by MUST HIV/AIDS researchers; • increase the number of awards made directly to MUST HIV/AIDS researchers; • allow MUST researchers to better and directly address NIH's and their region's HIV/AIDS research priorities; • lead to better outcomes for MUST's patient population and the communities it serves.

项目总结/摘要 乌干达农村姆巴拉拉科技大学（MUST）的研究人员一直非常关注 成功地与美国机构合作，开展创新的艾滋病毒/艾滋病和艾滋病毒相关的 research.然而，这意味着，到目前为止，作为研究中心PI， 而不是作为主要PI领导一个自行设计或社区领导的项目（见研究计划-表1）。 这是因为澳门科技大学是一所相对年轻的大学（成立于1989年）和强大的基础科学， 临床研究计划需要时间和能力来建立。必须领导层现在一致支持 转向自我指导，并已开始寻求和接受研究能力建设赠款 国家卫生研究院和其他地方。今天，研究人员正准备参与全球 阶段，了解到，为了使他们在最具竞争力的，也将需要更高的 行政举措、指导、支持水平（见研究计划-表2）。 这项建议是精心设计的，以满足需求，提出了全面的培训和 指导计划，旨在解决必须研究社区的行政领域 他们认为最需要改进的是：“研究管理和 这是一个“管理”的功能，由这个资金的机会。如果获奖，必须研究 执行委员会（RIC）和UVA导师将首先记录基线，然后设定目标， 交付物与TAC和MUST研究界的投入，以便在未来三年内， 他们将设计和实施课程，不仅培训RIC， 可持续的过程和系统。该计划还将开发MUST RIC指导和 演讲技巧，最后，定期评估行动和课程的进展和完成情况， 导致熟练和高效的赠款管理支持，成功的提案提交，并在 中期和长期，获得NIH奖项作为主要接受者。 成功实现拟议目标将： ·增加艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究人员直接提交的提案数量; ·提高艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究人员直接提交的提案的质量; ·增加直接向艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究人员颁发的奖项数量; ·允许MUST研究人员更好地直接解决NIH及其地区的艾滋病毒/艾滋病问题 研究重点; ·为MUST的患者群体及其服务的社区带来更好的结果。
