DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Myanmar has one of the worst epidemics of HIV/AIDS in Southeast Asia. Implementation of an effective HIV control program has been hampered by the isolation of Myanmar from the global community for more than 50 years. This isolation has prevented contemporary training in advanced research methodology for doctors and scientists in Myanmar. The UCLA Department of Epidemiology will collaborate with the Myanmar University of Public Health (UPH) to address this need. UCLA will provide training for six master's of science trainees, as well as nine months of training in research methodology at UCLA for ten senior faculty of UPH and the AIDS Control Program. The M.S. candidates will conduct the field research for their theses in Myanmar under the supervision of UPH faculty. The short courses to be given in Myanmar include HIV biology, epidemiology, prevention of transmission, research methodology, research ethics, public health intervention strategies, and use of advanced technologies in support of epidemiologic research in developing countries. Candidates for the UCLA-based programs will be recommended by the Myanmar UPH faculty on the basis of their academic records, commitment to HIV and public health research, and intention to promote the health of the people of Myanmar.

描述（由申请人提供）：缅甸是东南亚艾滋病毒/艾滋病流行最严重的国家之一。由于缅甸与国际社会隔绝50多年，有效的艾滋病毒控制方案的实施受到阻碍。这种孤立状态使缅甸的医生和科学家无法接受先进研究方法的现代培训。加州大学洛杉矶分校流行病学系将与缅甸公共卫生大学（UPH）合作，以满足这一需求。加州大学洛杉矶分校将为6名理科硕士学员提供培训，并为加州大学公共卫生学院和艾滋病控制项目的10名高级教师提供9个月的研究方法培训。的ms候选人将在UPH教师的监督下在缅甸进行论文的实地研究。将在缅甸提供的短期课程包括艾滋病毒生物学、流行病学、预防传播、研究方法、研究伦理、公共卫生干预战略以及利用先进技术支持发展中国家的流行病学研究。基于UCLA的计划的候选人将由缅甸UPH教师根据他们的学术记录，对艾滋病毒和公共卫生研究的承诺以及促进缅甸人民健康的意图推荐。
