Program for Advanced ReseArch Capacities for AIDS in Peru (PARACAS): harnessing implementation science to enhance care and reduce transmission of HIV

2007年，我们获得了Fogarty ICOHRTA奖，以启动一项艾滋病毒和结核病研究 在佩鲁阿纳卡耶塔诺大学(UPCH)的培训计划。2014年，我们现在的《帕拉卡斯》 (秘鲁艾滋病高级研究能力计划)使我们能够进一步整合艾滋病毒 研究UPCH的文化以及与华盛顿大学(UW)和 阿拉巴马大学伯明翰分校。通过密切指导的研究，沿着精选 课程工作，优秀的青年和中青年卫生科研人员正在达到科学熟练程度 以及领导力，这将使他们能够共同应对新出现的艾滋病毒挑战。 根据国家卫生研究院、秘鲁卫生部和艾滋病规划署的研究优先事项，这一目标 我们的Paracas续签申请加强了对实施科学的关注，以改善艾滋病毒 保留护理，扩大护理产妇艾滋病毒和消除儿科艾滋病毒的努力。在……里面 在高质量指导的背景下，我们的目标是：1)刺激关键研究事业的发展和 通过硕士(3)、博士(2)和博士后(2)选拔顶尖候选人的科学生产 奖学金；2)巩固作为有前途的医学本科生及早进入大学的枢纽(8) 定期的艾滋病毒研究高级培训；以及3)通过加强 与政府利益攸关方进行知识中介。 我们Paracas研究性培训计划的精髓--“变革性、协作性学习”-- 利用其影响超越对个别受训人员的好处。刺激和促进长期职业生涯 在艾滋病毒研究方面，这一续订申请(A)整合了合作美国的竞争性课程 在美国和秘鲁帕拉卡斯的共同指导下在秘鲁实施研究的机构 教职员工(长期“三明治”培训)，(B)实践指导的研究选修课。这些培训 将通过全球卫生研究员方案和NOVICE进行导师培训，以补充这方面的努力 为在国外获得博士学位的候选人提供的长期研究-职业资助最近启动 由秘鲁政府提供。即使我们的实习生遴选过程将继续以候选人为目标 为了在研究中取得成功，我们将加强个性化指导和灵活性 有利于招聘、业绩和留住在以下方面任职人数不足的受训人员的培训形式 科学，尤其是女性。 到目前为止，ICOHRTA和Paracas以前的赠款的校友大大丰富了，他们是 在UPCH和秘鲁卫生部内建立，我们的Paracas更新提供广泛的 指导能力和教师专业知识的广度，继续访问充满活力的新人才库 秘鲁受训人员，以有效地促进实现无艾滋病一代的目标。

In 2007, we received a Fogarty ICOHRTA grant award to launch an HIV and tuberculosis research training program at the Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia (UPCH). In 2014, our current “PARACAS” (Program for Advanced ReseArch Capacities for AIDS in Peru) allowed us to further integrate HIV research into the culture of UPCH and mature collaborations with the University of Washington (UW) and the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). Through closely mentored research, along selected course work, outstanding young and mid-career health researchers are reaching the scientific proficiency and leadership that will allow them to jointly address emerging HIV challenges. In alignment with research priorities of the NIH, the Peruvian Ministry of Health and UNAIDS targets, this renewal application for our PARACAS strengthens the focus upon implementation science to improve HIV retention in care, expanding efforts towards the care of maternal HIV and elimination of pediatric HIV. In the context of high-quality mentoring, we aim to: 1) stimulate the critical research career development and scientific production of selected top candidates through masters (3), doctoral (2) and postdoctoral (2) scholarships; 2) consolidate as a hub for early entry of promising medical undergraduates (8) into long- term advanced HIV research training; and 3) to influence on policy change for HIV care by enhancing knowledge brokering with government stakeholders. The essence of our PARACAS’ research training program - "transformative, collaborative learning" - leverages its impact beyond the benefits to individual trainees. To stimulate and boost long-term careers in HIV research, this renewal application (a) integrates competitive coursework at collaborating US institutions with implementation of research in Peru under co-mentoring of US and Peruvian PARACAS faculty (long-term “sandwich” training), with (b) practical mentored research electives. These training efforts will be complemented by mentorship training through the Global Health Fellows Program and novel long-term research-career grants for candidates with doctoral degrees obtained abroad recently launched by the Peruvian Government. Even if our trainee selection process will continue to target candidates with high potential to succeed in research, we will reinforce the individualized mentoring and flexibility of training formats that benefit recruitment, performance and retention of trainees underrepresented in science, particularly women. By this time substantially enriched with alumni of the prior ICOHRTA and PARACAS grants who are established within UPCH and the Peruvian Ministry of Health, our PARACAS renewal offers the extensive mentoring capacities and breadth of faculty expertise, continued access to a vibrant, talent pool of new Peruvian trainees, to effectively contribute to the goal of achieving an AIDS-free generation.
