Training Program in Nutrition and Metabolism in HIV

描述（由申请人提供）：我们将通过教师和研究员的短期和长期培训，从卫生科学学院在UNAM（医学，护理和公共卫生）实现我们的目标。UNAM医学院是一个年轻，充满活力和理想主义的机构，这个计划宣布的时机是极好的。现在建立这样一个培训计划将使我们能够将艾滋病毒营养和代谢方面的研究培训整合到UNAM医学院的结构中，因为它正在成长和发展。 该培训计划的重点是由医学的UNAM学校的全体教师选择和培训计划的建议已经满足了热情和乐观，支持的需要和愿望有这个程序在UNAM到位。我们建议从墨西哥国立自治大学招募和培训新的研究人员在营养和代谢领域的艾滋病毒与参与翻译的结果的结果的能力，这营养和代谢研究的方案开发。我们建议制定一项计划，通过培训能够获得独立资金的研究人员，培养支持未来可持续研究培训计划的能力。拟议的培训计划反映了塔夫茨大学和墨西哥国立自治大学之间富有成效和充满活力的持续伙伴关系，对改善人口健康的创新手段具有令人信服和统一的兴趣，包括了解和改善艾滋病毒高流行率国家的营养和代谢健康的手段，甚至更高的贫困率。 具体目标是：目标1：在塔夫茨大学为来自联合国索马里特派团、护理学院和公共卫生学院的研究员提供艾滋病毒营养和代谢方面的短期（3-6个月）和长期（学位）培训。目标2：促进和实施学员研究成果的转化，以制定艾滋病毒营养和代谢方面的方案和政策。目标3：加强和建设墨西哥国立自治大学在艾滋病毒营养和代谢方面的可持续培训和研究的机构能力。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We will accomplish our goal through the short and long term training of Faculty and fellows from the Schools of Health Science at UNAM (Medicine, Nursing, and Public Health). UNAM School of Medicine is a young, vibrant and idealistic institution and the timing of this program announcement is superb. Founding such a training program now will allow us to integrate the research training in Nutrition and Metabolism in HIV that it will provide into the fabric of the medical school at UNAM as it grows and develops. The focus of this training program was selected by the entire faculty of the UNAM School of Medicine and the training program proposal has been met with enthusiasm and optimism that support the need for and the desire to have this program in place at UNAM. We propose to recruit and train new investigators from UNAM in the area of Nutrition and Metabolism in HIV with the ability to participate in the translation of the results of the results of this Nutrition nd Metabolism research to program development. We propose to develop a program that will build capacity to support a sustainable research training program in the future by training researchers who will be able to obtain independent funding. The proposed training program reflects the productive and vibrant ongoing partnership between Tufts and UNAM, with compelling and unifying interests in innovative means to improve the health of populations including the means to understand and improve nutritional and metabolic health in a country with a high prevalence of HIV and even higher rates of poverty. The specific aims are: Aim 1: To implement short term (3-6 months) and long term (degree) training in Nutrition and Metabolism in HIV at Tufts for fellows from UNAM-SoM, and the Schools of Nursing and Public Health. Aim 2: To promote and implement translation of research results of trainees to development of program and policy in Nutrition and Metabolism in HIV. Aim 3: To enhance and build institutional capacity UNAM for sustainable training and research in Nutrition and Metabolism in HIV.
