D71 TABASAMU PROJECT ABSTRACT Oral diseases are the most prevalent chronic illnesses in the world, and vulnerable populations, like people with HIV (PWH), are most impacted by its occurrence. Worldwide, they account for 17 million years lived with disability (YLDs) and approximately 17,000 Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs), becoming the most common non- communicable diseases (NCDs). Despite successful antiretroviral therapy (ART), oral diseases remain more prevalent in PWH than those without HIV. Our proposal entitled “TABASAMU: A multidisciplinary collaboration on building up research capacity in oral health and HIV/AIDS” prepares the path for a future interdisciplinary research training program in Kenya involving the University of Washington (UW, Seattle, USA), the University of Nairobi (UoN), and the Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) (Nairobi, Kenya). The Tabasamu (smile in Swahili) application is built upon the successes of the National Institutes of Health’s (NIH) long-term funding in the region. Our objectives are to: 1) Finalize the leadership of our Tabasamu network. By building upon the long history of collaboration among the UW, UoN, and KNH, we will solidify existing relationships with current researchers and stakeholders and engage new ones so as to create an alliance for integrating oral health within their current HIV research and policy structures. Because we believe training efforts ought to be decentralized, we plan to conduct a stakeholder analysis in Nairobi, Mombasa and Kisumu, the cities with the largest HIV prevalence in Kenya, in order to: a) facilitate consensus among our Kenyan collaborators on the perceived needs and priorities that our future D43 grant on oral health will address, b) understand current Kenyan HIV research training programs and identify opportunities for oral health collaboration that will strength our training grant application, and c) design a network map with identified potential mentors with enough active research agendas for study trainees’ projects. 2) Identify a pioneer generation of oral health researchers. By engaging county governments and utilizing our Tabasamu network in Nairobi, Mombasa, and Kisumu we will identify potential high caliber trainees for the future D43 program. Through focus groups/video conferences among possible trainees, we will gather data on interest, feasibility, logistics, financial burden, and possible challenges that future trainees might encounter at their home institutions while taking time off for educational purposes. Because communication among the potential candidates will enhance our pool of researchers, we propose to develop a functional social media group that will boost interaction and provide a platform for engaging in NIH activities and opportunities for future fellows. 3) Organize, develop, and finalize our D43 grant application. Through this planning grant, we will have the capability to reach out to stakeholders and key investigators at their work sites, therefore identifying oral health champions who will play a pivotal role in defining an organizational structure to support a future HIV research training program in oral health. Based on the data we will collect, we will be qualified to finalize our research training approaches (short-, medium-, and long-term).

D 71 TABASAMU项目摘要 口腔疾病是世界上最普遍的慢性疾病，而脆弱人群，如患有 艾滋病毒（PWH）受其发生的影响最大。在世界范围内，他们占1700万年的残疾生活 （YLDs）和大约17，000残疾调整生命年（DSDs），成为最常见的非 传染病（NCDs）。尽管成功的抗逆转录病毒治疗（ART），口腔疾病仍然更多 艾滋病毒感染者的患病率高于非艾滋病毒感染者。我们的提案题为“TABASAMU：多学科 合作建立口腔健康和艾滋病毒/艾滋病的研究能力”为未来铺平了道路 肯尼亚的跨学科研究培训计划，涉及华盛顿大学（UW，西雅图，美国）， 内罗毕大学（UoN）和肯雅塔国立医院（KNH）（内罗毕，肯尼亚）。塔巴萨穆 （斯瓦希里语中的微笑）应用是建立在美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）长期成功的基础上的。 该地区的资金。我们的目标是：1）最终确定我们Tabasamu网络的领导层。通过建立 在华盛顿大学、纽约大学和KNH之间长期合作的基础上，我们将巩固与 现有的研究人员和利益相关者，并吸引新的研究人员和利益相关者，以创建一个整合口腔健康的联盟 在其现有的艾滋病毒研究和政策结构内。因为我们相信培训工作应该是 我们计划在内罗毕、蒙巴萨和基苏穆这三个城市进行利益攸关方分析， 肯尼亚艾滋病毒流行率最高的国家，以便：a）促进我们的肯尼亚合作者就 我们未来的D43口腔健康补助金将解决的感知需求和优先事项，B）了解当前的肯尼亚 艾滋病毒研究培训计划，并确定口腔健康合作的机会，这将加强我们的 培训补助金申请，以及c）设计一个网络图，其中确定了具有足够活跃的潜在导师 研究学员项目的研究议程。2)确定口腔健康研究人员的先驱一代。通过 与县政府合作，并利用我们在内罗毕、蒙巴萨和基苏穆的塔巴萨穆网络，我们将 为未来的D43项目寻找潜在的高素质学员。通过重点小组/视频会议 在可能的受训者中，我们将收集有关兴趣、可行性、后勤、财政负担和可能的 未来的受训者在抽出时间接受教育的同时， 目的由于潜在候选人之间的沟通将增强我们的研究人员库，我们 我建议建立一个功能性的社交媒体小组，以促进互动，并提供一个参与的平台 在国家卫生研究院的活动和未来的研究员的机会。3)组织，开发和完成我们的D43补助金 应用程序.通过这项规划拨款，我们将有能力接触利益相关者和关键的 研究人员在他们的工作场所，因此确定口腔健康冠军谁将发挥关键作用， 一个组织结构，以支持未来的艾滋病毒研究培训计划在口腔健康。基于数据 我们将收集，我们将有资格最终确定我们的研究培训方法（短期，中期和长期）。
