CORE--INTERNATIONAL RESEARCH SUPPORT

当我们提交最后一份P30申请时，CAIR没有国际艾滋病毒/艾滋病预防研究，当时表示其发展将是高度优先事项。中欧和东欧正在迅速出现艾滋病毒大流行，我们选择将工作重点主要放在这一区域。2002年3月，国际研究支持核心基金作为我们中心赠款的竞争性补充获得资助。CAIR已经建立了一个充满活力的国际研究，服务和培训活动，国际项目现在占CAIR的总校外研究资金的三分之一以上。核心组织提供资源，帮助CAIR与中欧和东欧国家的非政府组织、艾滋病政府官员和艾滋病毒预防研究人员建立关系。这些合作产生了一些试点研究，为更大规模的干预研究试验奠定了基础。这些活动还产生了20份出版物，使国际公共卫生部门注意到这个艾滋病毒流行最迅速的地区， 世界该中心的职能包括：提供资源，促进和加强新的国际合作;提供翻译和语言资源;提供工具，加强CAIR与国际艾滋病毒预防研究人员和机构之间的信息交流;就东欧国家艾滋病研究相关的文化问题进行咨询;为国外机构举办艾滋病毒预防研究伦理培训研讨会;以及提供国际研究行政支持。

When our last P30 application was submitted, CAIR had no international HIV/AIDS prevention research and stated then that its development would be a high priority. A major HIV epidemic is rapidly unfolding in Central and Eastern Europe, and we chose to focus our work primarily in this region. The International Research Support Core was funded as a competitive supplement to our Center grant in March, 2002. CAIR has since established a vigorous line of international research, service, and training activities, and international projects now account for over one-third of CAIR's total extramural research funding. The Core has provided resources that helped CAIR to establish relationships with nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), AIDS governmental officials, and HIV prevention researchers in countries in Central and Eastern Europe. These collaborations resulted in a number of pilot studies that served as foundations for larger intervention research trials. They also resulted in 20 publications that have brought international public health attention to a region with the most rapidly-expanding HIV epidemic in the world. The Core's functions include resources for stimulating and strengthening new international collaborations, translation and linguistic resources, vehicles to enhance information exchange between CAIR and international HIV prevention researchers and institutions, consultation in cultural issues related to AIDS research in Eastern European countries, training seminars in HIV prevention research ethics for institutions abroad, and international research administrative support.
