Postdoctoral Training in Global AIDS Prevention Research

描述(由申请者提供)：这项名为“全球艾滋病预防研究博士后培训”的培训基金是加州大学洛杉矶分校培训计划的竞争性延续，旨在为医生、社会、行为和专业科学家在全球范围内了解和预防艾滋病毒疾病的学术研究生涯做准备。艾滋病毒不会很快消失，我们需要确保新一代科学领袖做好准备，带领我们进入艾滋病毒预防研究的下一个时代。我们每年申请两个新的奖学金名额(一个是成人或儿科传染病的内科医生，一个是博士后水平的社会/行为科学家或拥有相关专业领域的博士学位的毕业生，如公共卫生、公共政策、护理、商业等)。因此，该计划将在任何时候招收6名研究员，每年毕业2名研究员，每年再录取2名研究员。医师研究员通常在内科住院医师和一年的传染病临床培训后进入。公共卫生科学家通常在获得博士学位后立即参加培训。在筹资期间，总共将招收14名研究员。每名研究员在该计划中的最长时间为3年，并将寻求外部资金，以便在学术或卫生机构担任新的教职。培训计划的成功毕业生将具备以下条件：o获得硕士学位，o完成至少一个主要发展中国家艾滋病毒预防研究项目，o参与其他几个研究项目，o在至少一次重要科学会议上发表论文，o作为第一作者发表在领先的科学期刊上，o获得美国国立卫生研究院或其他机构的资金，成为第一个教师职位。这些方案目标是通过各种研讨会、指导、二次数据分析以及原始数据收集的设计和实施来实现的。 与公共健康相关：该计划为医生和公共卫生专业人员在全球范围内专注于艾滋病毒预防的科学职业做好准备。美国在全世界了解、预防和治疗艾滋病毒/艾滋病方面花费了大量资源。这样的项目需要建立在科学的基础上，这个项目培训下一代科学家，以提高我们对艾滋病毒预防的理解。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This training grant, entitled "Postdoctoral Training in Global AIDS Prevention Research" is a competing continuation of the UCLA training program to prepare physician, social, behavioral, and professional scientists for academic research careers focused on understanding and preventing HIV disease globally. HIV is not going away any time soon, and we need to ensure that a new generation of scientific leaders is prepared to take us forward into the next era of HIV prevention research. We are requesting 2 new fellowship slots each year (one will be a physician specializing in adult or pediatric infectious diseases, and one a post-doctoral level social/behavioral scientist or a graduate with a doctoral degree from a relevant professional field such as public health, public policy, nursing, business, etc). Thus, th program will have 6 fellows enrolled at any one time, and graduate 2 fellows per year and admit 2 additional fellows each year. Physician fellows normally enter after a residency in internal medicine and one year of clinical training in infectious diseases. Public health scientists typicaly enter training immediately following the receipt of their doctoral degree. A total of 14 fellows wil be enrolled over the funding period. Each fellow is in the program for a maximum of 3 years and will seek extramural funding to take into a new faculty position at an academic or health institution. A successful graduate of the training program will have: o The option of securing a master's degree, o Completed at least one major developing country HIV prevention research project, o Participated in several other research projects, o Presented in at least one major scientific conference, o Published as a first author in leading scientific journals, and o Secure funding from the NIH or other agencies to take into a first faculty position. These program goals are achieved through a variety of seminars, mentoring, secondary data analyses, and the design and implementation of original data collection. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This program prepares physician and public health professionals for scientific careers focused on HIV prevention globally. The United States spends considerable amounts of resources in understanding, preventing, and treating HIV/AIDS worldwide. Such programs need to rest on a scientific foundation and this program trains the next generation of scientists to improve our understandings of HIV prevention.
