Northwestern University AITRP

描述（由申请人提供）：西北大学建议建立西北大学福格蒂艾滋病国际培训和研究计划（NU AITRP），通过培训和研究，加强艾滋病毒/艾滋病和结核病的治疗，为临床医生，科学家和来自尼日利亚的医疗保健提供者。NU AITRP将建立在NU教师与伊巴丹大学学院医院（UCH）伊巴丹大学和尼日利亚乔斯乔斯大学教学医院（JUTH）教师之间的历史联系基础上。NU AITRP的目标是与UCH和JUTH合作创建和维持艾滋病研究基础设施，以促进合作，提供全方位的研究资源，并促进培训和教育。马里巴马科的巴马科大学艾滋病毒和结核病研究中心（SEREFO）的艾滋病毒和结核病研究培训专业知识和基础设施将用于培训马里人，并作为扩大合作的平台。NU AITRP的目标是继续支持生产力，创造力和创新性科学家的努力，通过合作研究培训计划进行详细，深入和相互关联的研究。该中心的动力和基本原理是继续提供科学领导和行政机制和基础设施，以提高跨学科和跨机构科学合作和转化研究的水平和质量，这些研究由不同的，特别合格的，致力于临床和基础科学学科的科学家进行。这种综合方法的理由是基于这样的假设，即艾滋病研究的进展是由基础科学家和临床研究人员跨学科和机构共同努力，将发现转化为治疗和预防疾病的新方法。拟议的NU AITRP将包括短期计划，长期计划和长期研究支持和发展伙伴关系的发展。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Northwestern University proposes to establish a Northwestern University Fogarty AIDS International Training and Research Program (NU AITRP) to strengthen HIV/AIDS and TB therapeutics through training and research for clinicians, scientists, and allied healthcare providers from Nigeria. The NU AITRP will build upon the historic linkages between the faculty at NU and the faculty at University College Hospital (UCH)AJniversity of Ibadan in Ibadan and Jos University Teaching Hospital (JUTH) in Jos, Nigeria. The goal of the NU AITRP is to create and sustain an AIDS research infrastructure in partnership with UCH and JUTH that facilitates collaboration, provides access to a full range of research resources, and promotes training and education. The expertise and infrastructure for HIV and TB research training at the Center for HIV and TB Research (SEREFO), University of Bamako, Bamako, Mali will be leveraged to train the Nigerians, and serve as a platform for expanded collaboration. The objective of the NU AITRP is to continue to support the efforts of productive, creative and innovative scientists to perform detailed, intensive and interrelated research studies through a collaborative research training program. The impetus and rationale for the center is to continue to provide scientific leadership and administrative mechanisms and infrastructure to enable a greater level and quality of interdisciplinary and inter-institutional scientific collaboration and translational research conducted by diverse, exceptionally qualified, and committed scientists spanning a broad range of clinical and basic science disciplines. The justification for this integrated approach is based on the supposition that progress in AIDS research is made by groups of basic scientists and clinician-investigators working together across disciplines and institutions to translate discovery into new approaches for the treatment and prevention of disease. The proposed NU AITRP will encompass short-term programs, long term programs and the development of long-term research support and development partnership.
