EXPANSION OF FOGARTY AIDS INTERNATIONAL TRAINING PROGRAM

该提案寻求补充资金，以支持扩大加州大学伯克利分校/加州大学旧金山分校的福格蒂艾滋病培训项目，并与设在北京的卫生部国家艾滋病预防与控制中心合作，将中国纳入其中。我们建议在以下方面开展培训：1)提高流行病学和干预研究的能力；2)发展以人群为基础的行为干预措施，包括针对男男性行为者的干预措施；3)设计和实施符合种族原则的艾滋病相关研究和干预措施，包括知情和艾滋病毒检测相关问题，如同意、保密、披露和咨询。拟议的培训的长期目标是帮助中国科学家为未来在明确定义的男男性接触者群体中进行疫苗试验做准备，这些人群的艾滋病毒感染率（主要是B支）正在上升，但他们的艾滋病毒预防需求缺乏特征。

This proposal seeks supplemental funds in support of an expansion of the Fogarty AIDS Training program at the University of California, Berkeley (UCB)/University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to include China, in collaboration with the National Center for AIDS Prevention and Control of the Ministry of Public Health in Beijing. We propose to conduct training in the following areas: 1) Improved capacity for epidemiologic and intervention research; 2) Development of population-based behavioral interventions, including interventions targeted at men who have sex with men (MSM); and 3) Design and implementation of ethnically sound AIDS-related research and interventions, including informed and HIV-testing related issues such as consent, confidentiality, disclosure, and counseling. The long term goal of the proposed training is to help Chinese scientists prepare for a future vaccine trial in a well-defined cohort of MSM, in whom rates of HIV infection (primarily clade B) are on the rise, but whose HIV prevention needs are poorly characterized.
