Uganda HIV/TB COHRE Training Program

描述（由申请人提供）：培训计划的目标是进行培训，研究和指导以及操作研究结果，以加强国家能力，以应对乌干达不断变化的艾滋病毒和结核病流行的公共卫生和科学挑战。这一目标将通过联合临床研究中心、乌干达Makerere、Gulu和Mbarara大学、乌干达国家结核病和麻风病方案、乌干达卫生部、美国凯斯西储大学和美国格鲁吉亚大学之间的合作实现。本建议的具体培训目标是通过培训、指导和加强艾滋病毒和结核病控制项目之间的合作以及这些项目与学术/研究机构之间的合作，加强艾滋病毒/结核病感染的临床、业务和卫生服务研究的研究培训能力和基础设施，以促进艾滋病毒/结核病合并感染的预防、护理和治疗。为了实现这些目标，我们建议在乌干达和美国的研究生学位（长期）和非学位课程（短期和中期）课程中进行跨学科培训。长期学位培训将在与艾滋病毒/结核病预防和管理相关的专业（如流行病学，卫生服务研究，公共卫生和临床专业）。短期和中期课程将包括卫生信息学、生物伦理学、业务研究、临床试验以及传播和实施研究。虽然我们将继续在乌干达和美国的培训经验的组合，我们建议在乌干达硕士学位有更多的培训。这将增加学员对导师的需求，因此，我们建议为高级研究人员提供导师培训，他们将成为学员的导师。中心第二阶段头五年编写的指导员手册将广泛提供给潜在的指导员和被指导者。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of the training program is to conduct training, research and mentorship as well as operationalize research findings in order to strengthen the national capacity to address the public health and scientific challenges of the evolving HIV and TB epidemic in Uganda. This goal will be achieved through collaboration between Joint Clinical Research Centre, Makerere, Gulu and Mbarara Universities of Uganda, Uganda National TB and Leprosy Program, Uganda Ministry of Health, Case Western Reserve University USA and University of Georgia USA. The specific training objectives of this proposal are to strengthen the research training capacity and infrastructure for clinical, operational, and health services research on HIV/TB infections through training, mentorship and strengthen collaboration between HIV and TB control programs as well as collaboration between these programs and academic/research institutions with the view of promoting HIV/TB co-infection prevention, care and treatment. To achieve objectives, we propose inter-disciplinary training in post-graduate degree (long term) and non- degree courses (short-term and intermediate term) courses in Uganda as well as in US institutions. The long term degree raining will be in specialties relevant to HIV/TB prevention and management (such as epidemiology, health services research, public health and clinical specialties). The short-term and medium- term courses will include health informatics, bioethics, operations research, clinical trials, and dissemination and implementation research. Though we will continue with the mix of training experiences in Uganda and US, we propose to have more training at Masters degree in Uganda. This will create a greater demand for mentors for the trainees, so we propose to have training in mentorship for senior researchers who will become mentors of the trainees. The mentors' manual that was developed in the first five years of COHRE phase II will be mad widely available to potential mentors and mentees.
