Development ITMAvH-UAB-ITMA Comprehensive ICOHRTA-AIDS

描述（由申请人提供）：目前icohrta向福格蒂国际中心（FIC）提出的艾滋病/结核病提案的目标是在临床、卫生服务和业务研究方面制定和启动一个以结核病为导向的试点培训计划。我们打算将这一试点项目作为2003财政年度竞争性的ichorta -艾滋病/结核病综合合作协议申请的基础。我们将确保国际人权组织-艾滋病/结核病综合项目与UPGH和秘鲁其他地区的其他相关结核病、艾滋病毒/艾滋病和HTL V-I项目很好地结合起来。拟议的规划拨款和随后的培训和研究合作协议提案是秘鲁三家具有良好培训经验的机构之间的一项合作倡议，这三家机构是秘鲁大学（UPGH）的热带亚历山大·冯·洪堡医学研究所（IMTAvH）、阿拉巴马大学伯明翰分校（UAB）、以及安特卫普利奥波德王子热带医学研究所————目的是加强秘鲁和本地区拉丁美洲科学家、医生和公共卫生从业人员在可持续临床、业务和卫生服务研究方面的能力。该提案的重点将是应用临床科学和卫生保健服务研究，使结核病感染者受益，重点是那些同时感染艾滋病毒和/或HTLV-I的人。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of the present ICOHRTA-AIDS/TB proposal to the Fogarty International Center (FIC) is to develop and initiate a pilot tuberculosis (TB)-oriented training program in clinical, health services, and operational research. We intend to use this pilot program as the basis of a competitive comprehensive ICHORTA-AIDS/TB cooperative agreement application for fiscal year 2003. We will ensure that a comprehensive ICOHRTA-AIDS/TB program will be well integrated with other relevant TB, HIV/AIDS, and HTL V-I programs at UPGH and the rest of Peru. The proposed planning grant and subsequent training and research cooperative agreement proposal is a collaborative initiative between three institutions with well-established training experiences in Peru--the Instituto de Medicina Tropical Alexander von Humboldt (IMTAvH) of the Universidad Peruana Gayetano Heredia (UPGH), the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), and the Prince Leopold Institute of Tropical Medicine Antwerp (ITMA)--with the purpose of strengthening the abilities of Peruvian and regional Latin American scientists, physicians, and public health practitioners in sustainable clinical, operational and health services research. The focus of this proposal will be the application of clinical science and health care services research to benefit individuals infected with TB, with an emphasis on those co-infected with HIV and/or HTLV-I.
