Peru ICOHRTA Network for AIDS/TB Research Training

描述(由申请者提供)：这项关于第二阶段艾滋病和结核病国际临床、操作和卫生服务研究培训奖(ICOHRTA-AIDS/TB)的建议是基于在秘鲁第一阶段ICOHRTA-艾滋病/结核病规划赠款期间确定的研究培训需求和机会。参与第一阶段赠款和这一第二阶段建议的机构在秘鲁有着良好的合作研究和研究培训历史：秘鲁大学(UPCH)、华盛顿大学(UW)、阿拉巴马大学伯明翰分校(UAB)和秘鲁研究非政府组织IMPACTA。ICOHRTA-AIDS/TB计划的总体目标是保护艾滋病毒/艾滋病患者的健康，为结核病患者提供及时的治疗，并减少这些感染的传播。为了实现这些目标，我们建议在UPCH开发ICOHRTA研究培训计划，以增加活跃在艾滋病毒/艾滋病和结核病的临床、操作和卫生服务研究中的秘鲁和其他拉丁美洲科学家的队伍；并催化和指导拉丁美洲研究专业知识的应用，以扩大规模，以成本效益的方式交付，并不断改进艾滋病毒/艾滋病和结核病的治疗、护理和预防服务。具体活动将包括：1)在UPCH实施创新的、面向当地的教育课程，以支持ICOHRTA-AIDS/TB计划，包括在UPCH制定艾滋病毒/艾滋病和结核病方面的研究生证书计划，侧重于临床、操作和医疗服务研究以及相关的预防研究；2)为UPCH的研究生证书计划学员提供培训、辅导和小额补助金，使他们能够进行临床、操作和医疗服务研究，以及相关的预防研究；3)为UPCH现有或潜在的教职员工提供长期研究和培训经验及职业指导。人权理事会的这项建议不仅将增强秘鲁现有合作研究培训工作的可持续性，而且随着秘鲁和其他安第斯国家加大艾滋病毒/艾滋病和结核病治疗和预防工作的力度，研究培训与当地需求和机会的相关性也将得到加强。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal for a Phase II International Clinical, Operational and Health Services Research Training Award for AIDS and Tuberculosis (ICOHRTA-AIDS/TB) is based upon the research training needs and opportunities identified during the Phase I ICOHRTA-AIDS/TB planning grant in Peru. Participant institutions in the Phase I grant and this Phase II proposal have a well-established collaborative research and research training history in Peru: Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia (UPCH); University of Washington (UW); University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB); and the Peruvian research NGO IMPACTA. The overarching goals of this ICOHRTA-AIDS/TB program are to preserve the health of people living with HIV/AIDS; provide timely, curative treatment to persons with tuberculosis; and decrease transmission of these infections. To achieve these goals, we propose the development of an ICOHRTA research training program at UPCH to increase the cadre of Peruvian and other Latin American scientists active in clinical, operational, and health services research in HIV/AIDS and TB; and to catalyze and guide the application of research expertise in Latin America for scale-up, cost-effective delivery, and continuous improvement of treatment, care, and prevention services for HIV/AIDS and TB. Specific activities will include: 1) implementation of an innovative, locally-directed educational curriculum at UPCH to underpin the ICOHRTA-AIDS/TB program, including the development of a Graduate Certificate Program in HIV/AIDS and TB at UPCH, focused on clinical, operational, and health services research and related prevention research; 2) training, mentoring and small grants for Graduate Certificate Program trainees to perform clinical, operational, and health services research and related prevention research for treatment, care and prevention of HIV/AIDS and TB; 3) Provide long term research and training experience and career mentoring for current or potential UPCH faculty members. This ICOHRTA proposal would enhance not only the sustainability of the existing collaborative research training efforts in Peru, but also the relevance of research training to local needs and opportunities as HIV/AIDS and TB treatment and prevention efforts are scaled up in Peru and other Andean countries.
