Description (provided by applicant): The CITAR of the University of Texas School of Public Health (UTSPH) is a program for advanced training on HIV prevention research. Fellowships are for foreign health professionals leading to a 4 year doctoral degree at the UTSPH in Houston followed by a 5th post-doctoral year doing supervised research in their home country. Support for CITAR Fellows may come from a variety of sources but to date has been almost exclusively from the Vietnam Education Foundation (VEF) which provides 2 year of stipends and institutional support. An AITRP grant would support the remaining 3 years and travel expenses between Houston and our research and training sites in Vietnam. The goals of CITAR are: 1. Education & training of outstanding [foreign health professionals for research careers in public health in their home country on HIV and HIV related issues and to help them obtain funding to carry out those careers; 2. Foster research and research capacity in developing countries; 3. Promote understanding and cooperation between the United States and other countries. We chose Vietnam because the combination of the early but rapidly expanding AIDS epidemic, commitment of the Vietnamese government but severe limitations of its current public health manpower make it uniquely suited to benefit from our faculty who are highly experienced in AIDS research and international health. .Presently we have 7 Vietnamese Fellows (6 from VEF and 1 on a VN government scholarship) and 3 more VEF Fellows starting Fall 2005. We expect to have 2 to 4 new additional students in each subsequent year. There are 6 elements to the CITAR training experience: 1. Faculty supervised HIV field research leading to a thesis; 2. Didactic academic courses; 3. Weekly seminar in which faculty and fellows share presentations and discussions about HIV and related issues, 4. Practica; 5. Course on practical issues of international research, and; 6. Close mentoring of all aspects of the educational experience. A critical cross-cutting element will be ethics, focusing on the ethical conduct of science which will occur in all of the teaching elements. An AITRP would not only fit the philosophy and goals of CITAR for these Vietnam trainees, it would leverage Fogarty resources by supporting fellows already two years into their doctoral programs, with proven academic performance & commitment to research in Vietnam. We will hold student-faculty activities in VN aimed at successful reentry including short courses & VN based.

描述（由申请人提供）：德克萨斯大学公共卫生学院 (UTSPH) 的 CITAR 是一个艾滋病毒预防研究高级培训项目。奖学金是为外国卫生专业人员提供的，他们可以在休斯敦的UTSPH获得四年的博士学位，然后在本国进行第五年的博士后研究。对 CITAR 研究员的支持可能来自多种来源，但迄今为止几乎完全来自越南教育基金会 (VEF)，该基金会提供 2 年的津贴和机构支持。 AITRP 赠款将支持剩余 3 年的费用以及休斯顿与我们在越南的研究和培训地点之间的旅费。 CITAR 的目标是： 1. 对优秀的外国卫生专业人员进行教育和培训，以便他们在本国从事艾滋病毒和艾滋病毒相关问题的公共卫生研究事业，并帮助他们获得开展这些事业的资金； 2. 培养发展中国家的研究和研究能力； 3.促进美国与其他国家之间的了解与合作。我们选择越南是因为艾滋病流行较早但迅速蔓延，越南政府的承诺但其目前公共卫生人力的严重限制，使其特别适合从我们在艾滋病研究和国际卫生方面经验丰富的教师中受益。目前，我们有 7 名越南研究员（6 名来自 VEF，1 名来自越南政府奖学金），从 2005 年秋季开始还有 3 名 VEF 研究员。我们预计在随后的每年都会有 2 至 4 名新学生。 CITAR 培训经历有 6 个要素： 1. 教师监督艾滋病毒实地研究并形成论文； 2. 教学性学术课程； 3. 每周研讨会，教职员工和研究员分享有关艾滋病毒及相关问题的演讲和讨论， 4. 实践； 5. 国际研究实际问题课程； 6. 对教育经历的各个方面进行密切指导。一个关键的交叉要素是伦理学，重点是所有教学要素中都会出现的科学伦理行为。 AITRP 不仅适合这些越南学员的 CITAR 理念和目标，还将利用 Fogarty 资源，为已进入博士课程两年、学术表现得到证实并致力于越南研究的研究员提供支持。我们将在越南举办旨在成功重返校园的学生教师活动，包括短期课程和基于越南的课程。
