Postdoctoral Training in Global AIDS Prevention Research

摘要 这是加州大学洛杉矶分校培训计划的竞争性延续，以准备医生和社会/行为 从事学术研究的科学家专注于整合生物医学-行为学(即生物行为学) 在不同的全球环境中预防艾滋病毒/艾滋病的方法。尽管在预防艾滋病方面取得了显著进展 新的艾滋病毒感染和艾滋病毒疾病的治疗，仍然存在重大挑战，突出需要 整合行为科学和生物医学方法。我们非常成功的培训的更新 该计划将有助于确保新一代科学领袖准备带领我们进入下一代 艾滋病毒研究的时代，特别是通过提供培训，将行为和生物医学方法整合到 在全球预防艾滋病毒/艾滋病。为了反映我们的生物行为方法，每年将有一名新的受训人员成为 专攻成人或儿科传染病的医生(即ID研究员)，以及一名社会/行为专家 拥有公共卫生、社会学或公共政策等相关领域博士学位的科学家。我们会 确保所有受训人员接受严格的社会行为科学培训，并使用生物标记物和 具有临床背景和相关性的研究。将为所有学员提供培训和支持，以启动他们的 从事艾滋病毒/艾滋病预防研究的独立调查人员。培训成功的毕业生 该计划将有：获得硕士学位的选项；至少完成一次主要的艾滋病毒预防 研究项目；参与了其他几个研究项目；至少在一项重大科学研究中发表 会议；作为第一作者在领先的科学期刊上发表；并获得美国国立卫生研究院或其他机构的资助 各机构将招收第一批教师。这些计划目标是通过各种研讨会、指导、 二次数据分析，以及在我们的 协作的现场站点。我们计划的新重点将是整合多学科培训活动 所有医学博士和博士受训人员都要培养生物行为方法，以解决无法解决的主要问题 遏制艾滋病毒/艾滋病的流行。我们的计划是专门为年轻科学家为未来的 艾滋病毒/艾滋病筹资环境需要具备生物行为方法的能力，我们将建立 在我们的共同领导和我们的研究环境中的这种整合，强调团队科学是一个基石 为了成功。

ABSTRACT This is a competing continuation of the UCLA training program to prepare physician and social/behavioral scientists for academic research careers focused on integrated biomedical-behavioral (i.e., biobehavioral) approaches to HIV/AIDS prevention in diverse global settings. Despite remarkable advances in prevention of new HIV infections and treatment of HIV disease, significant challenges remain that highlight the need for integrating behavioral science and biomedical approaches. The renewal of our highly successful training program will help ensure that a new generation of scientific leaders is prepared to take us forward into the next era of HIV research, specifically by providing training to integrate behavioral and biomedical approaches to preventing HIV/AIDS globally. To reflect our biobehavioral approach, each year one new trainee will be a physician specializing in adult or pediatric infectious diseases (i.e., an ID fellow), and one a social/behavioral scientist with a doctoral degree from a relevant field such as public health, sociology, or public policy. We will ensure all trainees receive rigorous social-behavioral science training and in use of biomarkers and conducting research with clinical context and relevance. All trainees will be provided training and support to launch their careers as independent investigators in HIV/AIDS prevention research. A successful graduate of the training program will have: The option of securing a master’s degree; Completed at least one major HIV prevention research project; Participated in several other research projects; Presented in at least one major scientific conference; Published as a first author in leading scientific journals; and Secured funding from the NIH or other agencies to take into a first faculty. These program goals are achieved through a variety of seminars, mentoring, secondary data analyses, and the design and implementation of original data collection conducted in our collaborating field sites. A new focus of our program will be integration of multidisciplinary training activities for all of the MD and PhD trainees to foster biobehavioral approaches for solving the major problems that preclude halting the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Our program is especially designed to prepare young scientists for the future of the HIV/AIDS funding environment that will require competency in biobehavioral approaches and we will model this integration in our co-leadership and our research settings that emphasize Team Science as a building block for success.
