Mexican Tuberculosis/HIV/AIDS Capacity Program

描述（由申请人提供）：结核病（TB）、艾滋病毒/艾滋病和其他性传播感染（STI）被认为是墨西哥的公共卫生优先事项，因此被列入墨西哥卫生部2000-20006年国家卫生计划。在墨西哥，显著缺乏以结核病/艾滋病毒/艾滋病/性传播感染为重点的正规研究生课程，这些课程可持续地建设综合临床、业务和卫生服务研究的能力。墨西哥受训人员的最佳经验是在结构化教学课程和假设驱动的指导下进行的研究正在进行的项目的背景下进行的教学课程。这一方案所依据的战略是创建一个以结核病/艾滋病毒/艾滋病/性传播感染为中心的课程，并推广到其他拉丁美洲和加勒比国家。在为期一年的规划赠款期间，本提案的具体目标如下：1）巩固与所有个人和机构伙伴的合作关系和谅解，并评估制定全面的结核病/艾滋病毒/艾滋病/性传播感染研究培训计划的现有资源和需求。2)确定将与我们的合作伙伴合作并与FIC和其他美国政府共同赞助者的工作人员协商开发的综合研究培训计划的类型。3)制定一个逐步的计划，包括确定开展全面的结核/艾滋病毒/艾滋病/性传播感染研究培训计划所需的培训、工作人员发展和其他资源，并包括建立一个组织结构，与开展和支持临床、业务和卫生服务研究的其他相关国家和国际组织建立联系。4)制定未来十年的机构发展计划，说明来自国际艾滋病和艾滋病防治委员会-艾滋病/结核病综合合作协议的资源将如何帮助国家公共卫生研究所实现其长期发展目标，即改善艾滋病毒/艾滋病/性传播感染/结核病领域的研究和培训。该补助金的主要人员在墨西哥国立研究所（国家公共卫生研究所和国家医学科学和营养研究所）与美国学术机构（斯坦福大学医学中心和加州大学弗朗西斯科分校）之间的临床和公共卫生驱动的国际研究和培训方面有着长期的记录。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Tuberculosis (TB), HIV / AIDS and other sexually transmitted infections (STI) are considered public health priorities in Mexico having thus been included in the National Health Plan 2000-20006 of the Mexican Ministry of Health. In Mexico there is a striking lack of formal post-graduate curricula that focus on TB/HIV/AIDS/STI that provide sustainability to building capacity for integrated clinical, operational and health services research. The optimal experience for Mexican trainees is didactic coursework in the context of a structured didactic curriculum and hypothesis-driven mentored research conducted in the context of ongoing projects. The strategy upon which this program will be based is the Creation of a TB/HIV/AIDS/STI Centered Curricula with outreach to other Latin-American and Caribbean countries. During the one year planning grant the specific aims of the present proposal are the following: 1) To solidify collaborative relationships and understandings with all individuals and institutional partners, and assess current resources and needs for developing a comprehensive TB/HIV / AIDS/STI research training plan. 2) To define the type of comprehensive research training programs that will be developed in cooperation with our collaborative partners and in consultation with staff from FIC and other US Government co-sponsors. 3) To develop a step-wise plan, including the identification of training, staff development, and other resources needed to undertake comprehensive TB/HIV / AIDS/STI research training program, and including the development of an organizational structure with links with other relevant national and international organizations conducting and supporting clinical, operational and health services research. 4) To prepare an institutional development plan for the next ten years, demonstrating how resources from a Comprehensive ICOHRTA-AIDS/TB Cooperative Agreement will help the National Institute of Public Health to achieve its long-term development goals related to improved research and training in the areas of HIV / AIDS/STI/TB. The key personnel of this grant have a long standing record of clinical and public health driven international research and training between Mexican National Institutes (the National Institute of Public Health and the National Institute of Medical Sciences and Nutrition) and US academic institutions (Stanford University Medical Center and University of California, San Francisco).
