Training in Research of Prevention, Diagnosis and Treatment of HIV and TB

该计划的持续目标是培训来自印度、喀麦隆和中国的临床医生和科学家，研究和实施艾滋病毒和结核病感染的预防、诊断和治疗。这一多学科计划包括公立和私立大学、医院和非政府组织的参与，这些组织提供旨在改善其服务人群的健康和福祉的服务。纽约大学AITRP建议与其合作的机构包括印度的3个(医学研究和教育研究生院[昌迪加尔]、全印度医学科学研究所[新德里]和爱德华国王纪念医院[孟买])，喀麦隆的2个(阿尔法皇家诊所[巴门达]和圣卫生实验室[雅温得])，以及中国的3个(上海疾控中心、上海公共卫生中心和复旦大学上海医学院[上海])。在拟议的供资周期内，将根据每个具体国家和有关机构的需要对候选人进行培训。因此，虽然这三个国家都面临艾滋病毒和结核病疫情的不断上升，但我们在印度和中国的合作机构拥有大量的科学人才和基础设施，可以开展旨在改进艾滋病毒和结核病的预防、诊断和治疗的应用、基础科学和/或临床研究。相比之下，喀麦隆的大多数机构缺乏进行此类工作所需的训练有素的人力和基础设施。因此，我们在印度和中国的合作机构拟议的培训旨在促进参与机构之间以及与纽约大学之间的合作研究和临床研究；我们的目标是通过为项目的规划和实施以及为进一步研究获得资金提供智力支持，提供启动和继续相关研究所需的培训。对于喀麦隆，我们的培训将侧重于支持当地的艾滋病控制项目；我们将重点传授技术技能，并在现有基础设施内发展，以设计和实施预防、诊断和治疗艾滋病毒和结核病的相关计划。

The continuing goal for this program is the training of clinicians and scientists from India, Cameroon, and China in the research and implementation of prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of HIV and TB infections. This multidisciplinary program includes the participation of public and private universities, hospitals, and non-governmental organizations that provide services designed to improve the health and well-being of the populations they serve. The institutions with which the NYU AITRP proposes to collaborate include 3 in India (the Post Graduate Institute for Medical Research and Education [Chandigarh], the All India Institute of Medical Sciences [New Delhi] and King Edward Memorial Hospital [Mumbai]), 2 in Cameroon (Alpha Royal Clinic [Bamenda] and the Laboratoire de Sante Hygiene [Yaounde]), and 3 in China (the Shanghai CDC, the Shanghai Public Health Center and the Shanghai Medical College of Fudan University [Shanghai]). During the proposed funding cycle, training of candidates will be tailored to the needs of each specific country and those of the institutions involved. Thus, while all 3 countries face escalating HIV and TB epidemics, our partner institutions in India and China possess much of the scientific talent and infrastructure to conduct applied, basic scientific, and/or clinical research designed to improve prevention, diagnosis and treatment of HIV and TB. In contrast, most institutions in Cameroon lack the trained manpower and infrastructure to conduct such work. Consequently, the proposed training at our partner institutions in India and China aims to foster collaborative research and clinical studies between the participating institutions and with NYU; our goal is to supply the training needed to initiate and continue relevant research by providing intellectual support for planning and execution of projects and for obtaining funding for further studies. For Cameroon, our training will focus on supporting local AIDS control programs; we will focus on teaching technical skills and on the development within the available infrastructure to design and implement relevant programs in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of HIV and TB.
