International Training in AIDS/TB Prevention Research

这一国际艾滋病研究培训计划以印度为主要重点国家，卢旺达和 孟加拉国是次要国家。我们的目标是在这些国家进行以下领域的研究能力建设 艾滋病毒/艾滋病、结核病和艾滋病的真菌病原体。为此，我们建议从这些方面培训科学家 各国在关键的生物医学、流行病学和行为研究方法方面取得了进展。辅助性训练 在血液安全性和临床研究方面也有提供。我们的培训模式有短、中、长三种。 学期训练。短期培训将在国内进行(主要在印度举行，但所有受训人员都参加 三个国家，有时在卢旺达培训该国的学员)，通过为期10天的讲习班，旨在 专门专题，旨在培训特定艾滋病毒/艾滋病领域的临床医生和基础研究人员。中等- 为期3-6个月的学期培训是我们的核心培训模式，包括对注册的研究生进行培训 印度或孟加拉国艾滋病主题的论文研究访问阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦进行研究，涉及(但不是 仅限于)：艾滋病毒局部亚型的特征；#年痴呆发病率可能不同的基础 艾滋病；艾滋病毒的抗药性及其检测；艾滋病预防方法的发展和评价 它们的有效性；关于妇女对HAART态度的流行病学研究；C. 新生杆菌和假丝酵母菌的分子生物学及致病机理 艾滋病；快速、廉价的结核分枝杆菌噬菌体检测方法和遗传方法 研究结核分枝杆菌基因的作用。我们的长期培训包括两个部分：硕士学位 临床研究培训计划(CRTP)和博士后研究培训都是关于艾滋病研究的。 虽然短期和长期培训涵盖了这三个国家，但美国的中期培训是 最初重点放在印度和孟加拉国。对于卢旺达，我们还提议在国内开展流行病学培训。 我们培训计划的一个重要内容是确保受训人员通过以下方式返回本国 在中游培训研究生，确保他们的回报和专业知识共享，选择长期的 有固定职位的定期实习生，并帮助他们找到生物医学研究的职位 此外，还通过为符合条件的个人提供的国内高级研究项目支持，为这些组织提供资金支持。

This international AIDS research training program has India as its major country of focus and Rwanda and Bangladesh as minor countries. Our goal is research capacity-building in these countries in the areas of HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and fungal pathogens of AIDS. To this end, we propose to train scientists from these countries in critical biomedical, epidemiological and behavioral research methodologies. Accessory training in blood safety and clinical research is also provided. Our training models include short, medium and long- term training. Short-term training will be in-country (to be held mostly in India but attended by trainees in all three countries and sometimes in Rwanda for trainees in that country) via 10-day workshops aimed at specialized topics aimed at training clinicians and basic researchers in specific HIV/AIDS areas. Medium- term training for 3-6 months is our core training model involving training of graduate students registered for thesis research in AIDS topics in India or Bangladesh visiting Albert Einstein for research involving (but not limited to): Characterization of local subtypes of HIV; Basis for possible differential incidence of dementia in AIDS; Drug resistance in HIV and its detection; Developing AIDS prevention methods and the evaluation of their efficacy; Epidemiological studies on attitudes of women to HAART; Development of diagnostics for C. neoformans and Candida sp.; Molecular biology and pathogenesis of fungal opportunistic pathogens of AIDS; Rapid, inexpensive phage-based detection methods for M. tuberculosis and Genetic approaches to study role of M. tuberculosis genes. Our long-term training consists of two components: a Master's degree in Clinical Research Training Program (CRTP) and Post-doctoral research training both in AIDS research. While the short-term and the long-term training covers all three countries, the medium-term US training is initially focused on India and Bangladesh. For Rwanda, we also propose in-country training in epidemiology. An important element of our training plan is ensuring the return of the trainees to their home countries by training graduate students in mid-stream which ensures their return and sharing of expertise, selecting long- term trainees with prior permanent positions as well as assisting them find positions in biomedical research organizations as well as via Advanced in-country research project support for eligible individuals.
