Global Infectious Disease Research Training Program Award

描述（由申请人提供）：本UVA-坦桑尼亚全球传染病研究培训计划将通过为3名实验室技术人员、2名微生物学/免疫学硕士、1名临床研究硕士、1名博士提供正式培训和指导，以及为1名临床研究护士和1名赠款管理员提供短期培训，来建立坦桑尼亚的研究能力。该计划建立在Houpt博士（UVA PI）和Kibiki博士（基利曼哈罗临床研究所共同PI，莫希，坦桑尼亚）之间成熟的7年关系和研究合作的基础上。该建议基于五个理念：（1）鉴于坦桑尼亚的需要，我们需要为研究建立主要调查人员和实验室、护理和行政支助;（2）培训将包括基利曼哈罗基督教医学院的学位，因为这些是最大限度地提高当地专业发展的必要因素;（3）我们的经验告诉我们，应在少数国家大力投资，而不是在许多国家适度投资;（4）除了正规的学位教育外，每名学员还将通过导师现有的资助项目，在KCRI和弗吉尼亚大学接受大量的在职培训，使他们能够应用自己的技能，并提供出版、演讲和撰写赠款的机会;（5）最大限度地提高可持续性，受训人员将接受如何教育下一代的培训。在PI和co-PI现有研究项目的基础上，将在免疫学和分子诊断学两个科学学科内针对两个传染病领域，即肠道感染和肺部感染。每个学员将与UVA的一位导师配对，该导师在这些领域具有专业知识（Braciale，Guerrant，哈岑，Houpt，Hughes，Mann，Mehrad，Petri，Ramakrishnan）和KCRI的一位导师（从KCM学院内的9位导师中选出）。一个培训咨询小组由具有全球传染病和地方关系专门知识的著名医生科学家组成（Crump、吉莱斯皮、Pearson、Scheld）。咨询小组将在GIDRTP周期间每年举行一次会议，以选择学员，评估研究进展，接受学员演讲，并就最近和相关的传染病研究主题进行为期1周的强化课程。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This UVA-Tanzania Global Infectious Diseases Research Training Program will build Tanzanian capacity in research by providing formal training and mentoring to 3 laboratory technicians, 2 Masters in Microbiology/Immunology, 1 Masters in Clinical Research, 1 PhD, as well as short course training to 1 clinical study nurse and 1 grant administrator. The program builds upon a mature 7 year relationship and research collaboration between Dr. Houpt (UVA PI) and Dr. Kibiki (Kilimanjaro Clinical Research Institute co- PI, Moshi, Tanzania). The proposal has been founded on five philosophies: (1) given the needs in Tanzania we need to build both lead investigators and laboratory, nursing, and administrative support for research; (2) training will include degrees from the Kilimanjaro Christian Medical College since these are necessary ingredients to maximize local professional development; (3) our experience tells us to invest heavily in a few rather than modestly in many; (4) In addition to formal degree-based education, each trainee will receive abundant on-the-job training at KCRI and at UVA, through existing funded projects of the mentors, to allow application of their skills and provide opportunities for publication, presentations, and grant writing; (5) to maximize sustainability trainees will receive training in how to teach to the next generation. Based on the existing research projects of the PI and co-PI, two areas of infectious diseases will be targeted, enteric infection and pulmonary infection, within two scientific disciplines, immunology and molecular diagnostics. Each trainee will be paired with a mentor at UVA with expertise in these areas (Braciale, Guerrant, Hazen, Houpt, Hughes, Mann, Mehrad, Petri, Ramakrishnan) and a mentor at KCRI (drawn from 9 mentors within the KCM College). A Training Advisory Group consists of renowned physician scientists with expertise in global infectious diseases and local ties (Crump, Gillespie, Pearson, Scheld). The Advisory Group will meet in person once annually during a GIDRTP Week to select trainees, evaluate research progress, receive trainee presentations, and present a 1 week intensive course on a topic of recent and relevant Infectious Diseases research.
