International Training in AIDS/TB Prevention Research

描述（由申请人提供）：这一国际艾滋病研究培训计划的重点是印度和卢旺达和孟加拉国作为次要国家的主要国家。我们的目标是在这些国家建立艾滋病毒/艾滋病、结核病和艾滋病真菌病原体领域的研究能力。为此，我们建议在关键的生物医学、流行病学和行为研究方法方面对这些国家的科学家进行培训。还提供血液安全和临床研究方面的辅助培训。我们的培训模式包括短期、中期和长期培训.短期培训将在国内进行（主要在印度举行，但所有三个国家的受训人员参加，有时在卢旺达为该国的受训人员举行），举办为期10天的讲习班，讨论旨在培训艾滋病毒/艾滋病具体领域的临床医生和基础研究人员的专门专题。3-6个月的中期培训是我们的核心培训模式，包括培训在印度或孟加拉国注册进行艾滋病主题论文研究的研究生，访问阿尔伯特爱因斯坦进行研究，（但不限于）：艾滋病毒局部亚型的特征;艾滋病痴呆可能发生率差异的基础;艾滋病毒的耐药性及其检测;发展艾滋病预防方法并评价其效果;流行病学研究妇女对HAART的态度; neoformans和念珠菌属;艾滋病真菌条件致病菌的分子生物学及致病机制研究快速、廉价的噬菌体检测方法。结核病和遗传学方法来研究M.结核病基因我们的长期培训由两部分组成：临床研究培训计划（CRTP）硕士学位和艾滋病研究的博士后研究培训。虽然短期和长期培训涵盖所有三个国家，但美国的中期培训最初集中在印度和孟加拉国。对于卢旺达，我们还建议在国内进行流行病学培训。我们的培训计划的一个重要组成部分是确保受训人员返回他们的祖国，通过培训中游的研究生，确保他们的返回和分享专业知识，选择长期受训人员，并帮助他们找到生物医学研究组织的职位，以及通过先进的国内研究项目支持符合条件的个人。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): 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.
