HIS : Training Tanzanian Researchers for HIV/AIDS Implementation Science (Renewal)

项目摘要/摘要：坦桑尼亚是撒哈拉以南非洲受影响最严重的国家之一 受艾滋病毒流行的影响。坦桑尼亚面临着未完成的艾滋病毒检测、治疗和病毒抑制议程，因为 消除执行方面的差距，特别是在儿童、青少年和青壮年。坦桑尼亚也处于早期阶段。 评估综合筛查、预防和护理非传染性疾病的战略的阶段 (非传染性疾病)用于护理艾滋病毒携带者。艾滋病毒护理和治疗方案的长期成功以及 坦桑尼亚艾滋病毒目标的实现可以通过这种培训坦桑尼亚人来确保和改进 “艾滋病毒/艾滋病实施科学研究人员”培训方案、续签申请和联合倡议 波士顿哈佛大学公共卫生学院(HSPH)和Muhimbili卫生与健康大学 达累斯萨拉姆的联合科学公司(MUHAS)。哈佛大学和MUHAS的合作在三个主要方面增强了实力 艾滋病毒研究领域：(1)公共卫生干预和影响评估；(2)#年实施研究 方案艾滋病毒护理和治疗服务；以及(3)研究培训。在最初的五年里，艾滋病毒 实施科学培训计划达到或超过了包括启动在内的每项培训目标 MUHAS公共卫生实施科学硕士学位。对于这次更新，培训计划 将专注于与通过以下途径确定的三个新的优先研究领域相关的艾滋病毒实施研究 与坦桑尼亚政策制定者和艾滋病毒方案实施者讨论，包括：(1)受艾滋病毒影响的儿童 (2)青少年艾滋病毒；(3)艾滋病毒； 营养和非传染性疾病。该计划的目标是：(1)培养足够数量的中高级研究人员从事工作 作为主要研究人员，领导着专注于实施科学问题的独立研究计划 并在博士生层面教授实施科学研究方法；(2)建立初级人才的临界质量 能够设计并成功实施严格的研究项目的公共卫生和医疗专业人员 艾滋病毒实施科学、影响评估和卫生系统研究；以及(3)扩大 HIV实施科学研究人员通过在实施科学中开发新的博士项目 木哈斯。这一培训计划的核心是在波士顿和达累斯萨拉姆的五种战略，这将 实现这些具体目标，包括：培训博士后研究员5人，硕士研究员15人，博士后研究员5人， 在达累斯萨拉姆提供12个短期课程，学员约500人，每年举办5次MUHAS-哈佛大学 与政府、实施者、研究人员、教职员工和研究员互动的座谈会。我们还将推出一个新的 麻省理工学院实施科学博士学位。通过基于相互尊重和伙伴关系的方法， 我们的协作培训计划将为研究员整合教育组成部分和资源，装备 为他们提供工具，成为艾滋病毒实施科学领域的独立领导者。

Project Summary/Abstract: Tanzania is one of the countries in sub-Saharan Africa that is severely affected by the HIV epidemic. Tanzania faces an unfinished HIV testing, treatment, and viral suppression agenda because of implementation gaps, particularly in children, adolescents, and young adults. Tanzania is also in the early stages of evaluating strategies to integrate screening, prevention, and care for non-communicable diseases (NCDs) into care for people living with HIV. The long-term success of HIV care and treatment programs and achievement of HIV targets in Tanzania can be ensured and improved through this “Training Tanzanian Researchers for HIV/AIDS Implementation Science” training program, a renewal application and joint initiative by the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health (HSPH) in Boston and Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences (MUHAS) in Dar es Salaam. The Harvard-MUHAS collaboration has built strength in three main HIV research areas: (1) public health interventions and Impact Evaluation; (2) implementation research in programmatic HIV care and treatment services; and (3) research training. During the first five years, the HIV Implementation Science training program met or exceeded each of its training aims which included the launch of a new Master of Public Health in Implementation Science at MUHAS. For this renewal, the training program will focus on HIV implementation research related to three new priority research areas identified through discussions with Tanzanian policymakers and HIV program implementers, including: (i) HIV-affected children (including children living with HIV and HIV-exposed uninfected children), (ii) Adolescent HIV, and (iii) HIV, nutrition, and NCDs. The program aims to (1) train a critical mass of mid-level and senior researchers to work as principal investigators leading independent research programs focused on implementation science questions and teach implementation science research methods at the doctoral-level; (2) Build a critical mass of junior public health and medical professionals who can design and successfully carry out rigorous research projects in HIV Implementation Science, Impact Evaluation, and Health Systems Research; and (3) Extend the pipeline of HIV Implementation Science researchers by developing a new PhD program in Implementation Science at MUHAS. At the heart of this training program are five strategies both in Boston and in Dar es Salaam that will achieve these specific aims, including: training 5 Postdoctoral Fellows, 15 Masters Fellows, 5 Doctoral Fellows, offer 12 short courses in Dar es Salaam that will reach ~500 learners, and hold 5 annual MUHAS-Harvard symposia to engage with government, implementers, researchers, faculty, and fellows. We will also launch a new PhD in Implementation Science at MUHAS. Through an approach based on mutual respect and partnership, our collaborative training program will integrate educational components and resources for fellows, equipping them with tools to become independent leaders in HIV Implementation Science.
