ABSTRACT HIV infection continues to take a severe toll on Mozambique, which underscores the need for investments in building research capacity to help combat the epidemic. To address this need, we propose to establish the University of Pittsburgh (Pitt)-Mozambique HIV Research Training Program (Pitt-MozHRTP). The purpose of the program is to build research capacity at two sister institutions of the Mozambique National Institute of Health: the Polana Caniço Health Research Center (CISPOC) in Maputo, the capital city, and the Beira Operations Research Center (CIOB), which is in the port city of Beira in central Mozambique. CISPOC and CIOB both have growing HIV research portfolios and a commensurate need for increased research capacity. The research focus of our program is COVID-19, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes in people with HIV (CCD-PWH), all areas of enormous clinical and public health importance. Pitt-MozHRTP training sites will be at Pitt and the University of Stellenbosch (SU) in Cape Town, South Africa. The program will be directed by Dr. Lee Harrison at Pitt; Dr. Edna Viegas, who is responsible for overseeing research at CISPOC; and Dr. Jean Nachega at SU. A broad array of degree (both PhD and master's) training opportunities will be available in epidemiology and biostatistics, and laboratory sciences. In addition, we will offer post-doctoral fellowships for exceptional candidates who have recently completed their doctoral training. We will also use workshops conducted at CISPOC to augment research capacity at both CISPOC and CIOB. The program includes a multidisciplinary group of experienced mentors and excellent training opportunities at each site. Each trainee will have at least two mentors, one in Mozambique and another at the training site. The inclusion of SU provides substantial opportunities for “south-to-south” training between Mozambique and neighboring South Africa. In addition, the more experienced CISPOC will assist in building research capacity at CIOB. Trainees will have access to all the substantial resources of the participating institutions. Over the five-year funding period, we plan to train 6 masters students, 3 PhD students, and 5 post-doctoral fellows. In addition, ten trainees will attend the Johns Hopkins Graduate Summer Institute of Epidemiology and Biostatistics and we will conduct nine workshops at CISPOC. In summary, the Pitt-MozHRTP will make major contributions to building research capacity in the area CCD-PWH in Mozambique by providing a broad array of exceptional training opportunities.

摘要 艾滋病毒感染继续给莫桑比克造成严重损失，这突出表明需要投资 建立研究能力以帮助抗击这一流行病。为应付这方面的需要，我们建议设立 匹兹堡大学（皮特）-莫桑比克艾滋病毒研究培训方案（皮特-MozHRTP）。的目的 该计划将在莫桑比克国家研究所的两个姐妹机构建立研究能力， 保健：首都马普托的Polana Caniço保健研究中心和贝拉 运营研究中心（CIOB），位于莫桑比克中部港口城市贝拉。CISPOC和 CIOB都有越来越多的艾滋病毒研究组合，并相应地需要增加研究能力。 我们项目的研究重点是艾滋病毒感染者的COVID-19、心血管疾病和糖尿病 （CCD-PWH），所有领域都具有巨大的临床和公共卫生重要性。Pitt-MozHRTP培训地点将在 皮特和斯泰伦博斯大学（SU）在开普敦，南非。该计划将由博士指导。 皮特大学的李·哈里森博士、负责监督CISPOC研究的埃德娜·维加斯博士和让· 在SU的Nachega。一系列广泛的学位（博士和硕士）培训机会将在 流行病学和生物统计学以及实验室科学。此外，我们将提供博士后奖学金， 优秀的候选人谁最近完成了他们的博士培训。我们还将利用研讨会 在CISPOC进行，以增强CISPOC和CIOB的研究能力。该计划包括一个 多学科小组的经验丰富的导师和良好的培训机会，在每个网站。每个学员 将至少有两名导师，一名在莫桑比克，另一名在培训地点。加入SU 为莫桑比克和邻近的南方国家之间的“南南”培训提供了大量机会。 非洲此外，更有经验的CISPOC将协助建设CIOB的研究能力。学员 将可以使用参与机构的所有大量资源。在五年的融资中， 计划培养硕士研究生6名，博士研究生3名，博士后5名。此外，十 学员将参加约翰霍普金斯研究生暑期流行病学和生物统计学研究所，我们 将在CISPOC举办九个研讨会。总之，Pitt-MozHRTP将为以下方面做出重大贡献： 通过提供一系列特殊的 培训机会。
