耶鲁大学艾滋病跨学科研究中心（CIRA）开展跨学科研究，旨在预防艾滋病毒感染并减少该疾病对弱势群体和服务不足人群的负面影响。本申请申请支持在中国艾滋病预防研究中心建立机构国家研究服务奖博士后培训计划。主要教员来自流行病学和公共卫生、心理学、医学和精神病学等系。三个委员会将支持培训计划：行政、招聘/选拔和外部咨询。CIRA培训项目每年将为3名博士后提供机会，为期5年。该计划将特别寻求增加该领域的女性和少数族裔科学家的数量。培训计划活动包括：(1)在正在进行的艾滋病毒研究中进行研究指导和合作；(2)研究方法和伦理方面的培训；(3)选修课程；(4)中国艾滋病学会和艾滋病相关的研讨会和座谈会；(5)特别活动（如中国科学院科学日）。研究员的培训经验将提供必要的知识和技能，以制定可由校外资金支持的研究计划。CIRA提出的培训计划的独特之处在于其综合的、跨学科的方法，以及对传统上弱势和服务不足人群的关注。

The Center for Interdisciplinary Research on AIDS (CIRA) at Yale University conducts interdisciplinary research directed toward the prevention of HIV infection and the reduction of the negative consequences of the disease in vulnerable and underserved populations. This application requests support to establish an Institutional National Research Service Award Post-Doctoral Fellowship Training Program in HIV prevention research at CIRA. Primary faculty have been selected from the Departments of Epidemiology and Public Health, Psychology, Medicine, and Psychiatry. Three committees will support the Training Program: Administration, Recruitment/Selection, and External Advisory. The CIRA Training Program will offer opportunities to a total of 3 Post- Doctoral Fellows per year for 5 years. The Program will especially seek to increase the number of women and minority scientists in the field. Training Program activities include: (1) research preceptorship and collaboration in on-going HIV research; (2) Training in research methods and ethics; (3) optional coursework; (4) CIRA and HIV-related seminars and colloquia; and (5) Special events (e.g CIRA Science Day). The Fellows' training experience will provide the knowledge and skills necessary to develop a program of research that can be supported by extramural funding. CIRA's proposed Training Program is unique in its integrated, interdisciplinary approach and its focus on traditionally vulnerable and underserved populations.
