Combining Knowledge, Applied Skills with Mentorship and a Systems Approach to Strengthen Research Administration Capacity at a Leading HIV-Research Institution in LIC Country of Uganda

 描述（由申请人提供）：在乌干达等资源有限的环境中建立和维持研究能力，取决于培训当地研究人员制定创新的可资助提案，以及建立赠款和财务管理能力，以便能够成功支持赠款提交和奖后活动。MUJHU CARE LTD是乌干达坎帕拉的一家当地研究实体，成立于1988年，最初是约翰霍普金斯大学临床研究人员之间的合作。(JHU)和Makerere U。医学院。多年来，MUJHU CARE LTD在开展艾滋病毒预防研究方面取得了非常成功的记录。近年来，它一直致力于在NIH赠款提交中发挥主导作用，现在有一些成功的赠款直接资助MUJHU。在管理这些赠款时，MUJHU和JHU的领导人都认识到需要进一步加强赠款和财务管理基础设施，包括赠款支持软件和进一步培训赠款管理和财务工作人员。本G11培训应用程序的总体目标是：1）使用MUJHU CARE LTD从事补助金和财务管理的各种工作人员来规范和加强补助金和财务管理培训计划; 2）开发“赠款和行政支持办公室”手册，用作培训和参考工具，以协助MUJHU CARE LTD的研究人员和支持人员; 3)为MUJHU CARE LTD研究人员和行政人员提供赠款提交和奖后管理的“动手”培训和指导;以及4）利用MUJHU CARE LTD工作人员增加的赠款管理知识和能力，然后担任其他乌干达和非洲区域研究机构赠款管理的专家导师/培训师。本提案的预期产出包括：对MUJHU CARE LTD的一名管理人员进行长期培训，以获得约翰霍普金斯大学克里格艺术与科学学院的研究管理硕士学位;对MUJHU的一名赠款和管理官员进行中期培训，以获得JHU医学院提供的研究管理课程证书;以及赠款撰写和管理方面的短期培训; MUJHU的行政/财务/监管人员与从事赠款申请的研究人员组成的有凝聚力的MUJHU“赠款小组”;以及奖后活动;在3年赠款期内提交4份或更多NIH类型的赠款;以及编写一份赠款管理手册，用于培训对乌干达和东非其他研究小组有用的赠款管理人员。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Building and sustaining research capacity in resource limited settings such as Uganda depends on training local researchers to develop innovative fundable proposals as well as building grants and finance administration capacity to be able to successfully support grants submissions and post award activities. MUJHU CARE LTD is a local research entity in Kampala, Uganda which began in 1988 as a collaboration between clinical investigators from Johns Hopkins U. (JHU) and Makerere U. School of Medicine. Over the years MUJHU CARE LTD has had a highly successful track record in carrying out HIV prevention research. In recent years, it has focused its efforts on taking a leading role in NIH grant submissions with a number of successful grants now funded directly to MUJHU. In administering these grants, the leaders at both MUJHU and JHU have recognized the need to further strengthen grants and finance administration infrastructure, including grant support software and further training of grants administration and finance staff. The overall aims of this G11 training application are: 1) To standardize and strengthen a grants and finance management training program using a variety of staff engaged in grants and finance management at MUJHU Care LTD; 2) To develop a "Grants & Administration Support Office" handbook for use as a training and reference tool to assist investigators and support staff at MUJHU CARE LTD.; 3) To provide MUJHU CARE LTD researchers and administrative staff with "hands on" training and mentorship for both grants submissions and post-award management; and 4) To leverage this increased grants management knowledge and capacity of MUJHU CARE LTD staff to then serve as experts mentors / Train of Trainers in grants administration to other Ugandan and regional African research institutions. Expected outputs from this proposal include long term training of one MUJHU CARE LTD administrator to receive a Master's Degree in Research Administration from Johns Hopkins University Krieger School of Arts and Sciences; an intermediate training of one of the Grants and Management Officer at MUJHU for a certificate of research administration program offered by JHU School of Medicine; and short term trainings in grants writing and administration; cohesive MUJHU "grants teams" compromised of MUJHU administrative/finance/regulatory staff with researchers working on grant applications; and post award activities; with submission of 4 or more NIH type grants during the 3 year grant period; and development of a grants management handbook for training of grants management staff useful to other research groups in Uganda and East Africa.
