International Program

加州大学圣地亚哥分校CFAR国际项目将在以下几个关键领域向CFAR成员提供支持 方法，包括协助建立联邦范围的保证、翻译、开发 协议、知情同意书和调查，以及对感兴趣的初级调查人员的指导 在艾滋病毒/艾滋病负担高的发展中国家开发研究组合。CFAR国际 项目支持将包括为与CFAR成员合作的外国调查人员提供资金 在国际环境中开展试点项目和访问学者计划。 加州大学洛杉矶分校CFAR国际项目的目标如下：(1)提供专门的 行政服务，将加强目前CFAR研究之间的现有合作 在资源有限的情况下工作的社区和调查人员；(2)为 在资源有限的情况下开展艾滋病毒/艾滋病试点研究项目，将有助于 编制初步数据，以支持更广泛的外部资助研究项目和 方案；(3)为学者交流和支持中国公民的旅行提供旅费 在资源有限的情况下开展艾滋病毒/艾滋病联合研究项目。 为了保持方案重点，CFAR指定了三个国际背景：巴西、墨西哥、 和南非？作为UCSD CFAR国际项目地区的首批骨干。这些国家是 经过仔细审查后选择，以努力建立现有的优势并在 在资源有限的国家，可以有效地开展与艾滋病有关的合作研究。这 将通过支持与以下机构合作开发的国际试点项目来保持重点 这三个重点国家的机构的调查人员。 该国际方案将为以下成员提供集中的行政和后勤支持 加州大学圣迭戈分校及其附属机构的研究社区，包括在行政和后勤方面的帮助 问题。一个国际试点项目计划将为CFAR成员提供一种获得种子的机制 为启动研究项目提供资金，这些项目可作为更广泛的后续调查的基础。 访问学者计划将促进加州大学圣迭戈分校与 受艾滋病毒影响的资源有限的国家。访问学者计划的一个重要目标是培训 在与艾滋病毒/艾滋病有关的领域加强研究或培训能力的国际学者 研究。我们还将实施一年一度的研究日，展示以下成果 CFAR成员和外国合作者承担的国际研究项目。就附加值而言， 通过提供试点项目资金和访问学者方案，将加强 在三个重点国家开展新合作的能力，预计将导致 独立资助的校外艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究补助金。通过聘请专门的国际项目 协调员，我们的计划将在管理服务中创建效率，这些服务通常代表评级限制 在国际环境中启动研究项目的步骤。通过我们的年度研究日， 我们的计划将提高我们CFAR正在进行的国际研究的知名度，并帮助传播 这项研究以当地和国际社会都及时和感兴趣的方式进行，并 政策制定者。

The UCSD CFAR International Program will provide support to CFAR members in a number of crucial ways, including assistance with establishing federal-wide assurances, translation, development of protocols, informed consent forms and surveys, and mentoring of junior investigators who are interested in developing a research portfolio in developing countries with high HIV/AIDS burdens. CFAR International Program support will include funding for foreign investigators who are collaborating with CFAR members to conduct pilot projects in international settings and a Visiting Scholars program. The objectives of the UCSD CFAR International Program are as follows: (1) to provide specialized administrative services that will enhance currently existing collaborations between the CFAR research community and investigators working in resource limited settings; (2) to provide developmental funds for the conduct of HIV/AIDS pilot research projects in resource-limited settings that will facilitate the development of preliminary data in support of more extensive externally supported research projects and programs; (3) to provide travel funds for the exchange of scholars and for travel in support of the development of joint research projects on HIV/AIDS in resource limited settings. To maintain programmatic focus, the CFAR has designated three international settings¿Brazil, Mexico, and South Africa¿as the initial cadre of UCSD CFAR International Program locales. These countries were chosen after a careful review in an effort to build on current strengths and to provide diverse locations in resource-limited countries in which collaborative AIDS-related research can be effectively conducted. This focus will be maintained by supporting International Pilot Projects developed in collaboration with investigators at institutions in each of the three focus countries. The International Program will provide centralized administrative and logistical support to members of the research communities of UCSD and affiliated institutions, including help with administrative and logistical issues. An International Pilot Project program will provide a mechanism for CFAR members to obtain seed funds to initiate research projects that can serve as the basis for more extensive subsequent investigations. A Visiting Scholars program will facilitate the exchange of scholars between UCSD and institutions in resource-limited countries affected by HIV. An important goal of the Visiting Scholars program is to train international scholars in areas that will enhance their research or training capacity as it relates to HIV/AIDS research. We will also implement an Annual Research Day that showcases results arising from international research projects undertaken by CFAR members and foreign collaborators. In terms of valueadded, through the provision of Pilot Project funds and the Visiting Scholar program, there will be enhanced capacity for new collaborations in each of the three focus countries that are expected to lead to independently funded extramural HIV/AIDS research grants. By hiring a dedicated International Program coordinator, our program will create efficiencies in administrative services that typically represent the ratelimiting steps in launching research projects in international settings. Through our Annual Research Day, our program will increase the visibility of our CFAR's ongoing international research and help disseminate this research in a manner that is timely and of interest to both local and international communities and policymakers.
