China Multidisciplinary AIDS Prevention Training Program

描述（由申请人提供）： 中华人民共和国正面临着一场潜在的大规模艾滋病毒流行病，同时，受过艾滋病毒/艾滋病预防和治疗培训的卫生工作者严重短缺。因此，迫切需要能够进行复杂的艾滋病毒研究和培训其他保健专业人员的科学家和保健专业人员。中国疾病预防控制中心建议在加州大学、洛杉矶大学和耶鲁大学的协助下建立一个综合性的多学科艾滋病培训项目--中国ICOHRTA。拟议的五年计划将：1）为中国疾病预防控制中心及其附属机构的高级工作人员提供研究培训，他们将能够在生物统计学、行为科学、人类学、护理、艾滋病治疗、卫生服务和政策等学科的艾滋病多学科研究中发挥领导作用，指导培训工作，提供进一步的培训/指导，并影响政策制定; 2）通过与加州大学洛杉矶分校和耶鲁大学的硕士和博士联合项目，培养一批年轻科学家，他们将担任艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究人员和教师的角色; 3）为项目所在地的主要研究人员和云南、山西、福建、湖南和安徽公共卫生学院的毕业生提供研究培训;加强中国疾病预防控制中心的研究基础设施，以支持长期的研究和培训目标。中国ICOHRTA与中国正在进行的研究项目（如CIPRA，POL，HPTN和CDC Gap计划）之间将有高度的互动。中国国际艾滋病防治中心的总体目标是在中国疾病预防控制中心建立一个独立的艾滋病毒/艾滋病培训中心，协助中国其他学术和研究机构培训卫生专业人员和研究人员，以防治艾滋病毒/艾滋病流行病。加州大学洛杉矶分校和耶鲁大学最初将在该项目的学术方面发挥主要作用，但随着该项目的成熟，以及中国ICOHRTA的毕业生在中国及其附属机构担任领导角色，主要责任将转移到中国疾病预防控制中心。《中国国际艾滋病防治法》的成功实施将大大提高中国应对艾滋病流行挑战的能力。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The People's Republic of China is confronting a potentially massive HIV epidemic, together with an alarming shortage of health workers trained to prevent and treat HIV/AIDS. There is thus an urgent need for scientists and health professionals who will be able to conduct sophisticated HIV research and train other health professionals. The Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (China CDC) proposes to establish a comprehensive multidisciplinary HIV/AIDS training program - China ICOHRTA - with the assistance of the University of California, Los Angeles and Yale University. The proposed five-year program will 1) provide research training to senior staff at the China CDC and its affiliated institutions, who will be able to provide leadership in multidisciplinary HIV research, direct training efforts, provide further training/mentoring, and influence policy-making in the disciplines of biostatistics, behavioral sciences, anthropology, nursing, AIDS treatment, health services and policy; 2) develop a core group of young scientists who will assume roles as HIV/AIDS researchers and teachers, through joint master's and doctoral programs with UCLA and Yale; 3) provide research training to key research staff at project sites and graduates of schools of public health in Yunnan, Shanxi, Fujian, Hunan and Anhui; and 4) strengthen the research infrastructure at the China CDC to support long-term research and training goals. There will be a high degree of interaction between the China ICOHRTA and ongoing research projects in China such as the CIPRA, POL, HPTN, and CDC Gap programs. The overall goal of the China ICOHRTA is to establish an independent HIV/AIDS training center at the China CDC which can assist other academic and research institutions in China in the training of health professionals and researchers to combat the HIV/AIDS epidemic. UCLA and Yale will take a major role in the academic aspects of the program initially but the major responsibility will shift to the China CDC as the program matures and as graduates of the China ICOHRTA assume leadership roles there and in its affiliated institutions. Successful implementation of the China ICOHRTA should significantly increase China's capacity to meet the challenge of the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
