KNMU-SUNY HIV Research Training Program

 描述(由申请者提供)：纽约州立大学下州医学中心(SUNY-DMC)建议与阿拉木图的哈萨克斯坦国立医科大学(KNMU)合作，建设实施科学研究的能力，以解决哈萨克斯坦(KZ)艾滋病毒预防和护理方面的差距。长期目标是通过与KNMU的研究、培训和联系，解决KZ艾滋病毒护理级联中的知识落实差距。KZ的艾滋病毒继续扩大，部分原因是注射吸毒率高。KZ在艾滋病毒病例方面领先于中亚，但治疗系统中仍存在许多护理障碍。前苏联是世界上少数几个艾滋病毒感染率上升的地区之一，但该国的艾滋病毒研究培训项目很少。纽约国际培训和研究计划(NYS-ITRP)已经有20年的历史，成功地在东欧和中亚提供了先进的艾滋病毒研究培训。拟议的目标包括：1)为KNMU的2名教员提供流行病学高级学位培训(MS)，以加强该国的研究和学术能力；2)通过远程学习计划，为5名KNMU调查人员和教员提供公共卫生实践方面的高级学位培训(MPH)；3)为4名KNMU调查人员和教员提供实施科学远程学习证书培训；4)为KNMU公共卫生学院(SPH)提供研究培训能力建设。KNMU在公共卫生培训和研究建议方面的机构SPH能力建设将进一步支持KNMU的个别教员培训。研究培训计划的主要内容包括：1)在所有学位和证书学生的培训期间和培训后进行密集的指导；2)以竞争性方式向中长期受训者提供国内研究支助；3)规划和实施一年一度的国内“实施科学和艾滋病毒暑期研究所”；以及4)通过修订公共卫生课程和制定联合研究提案，在KNMU SPH进行能力建设。公共卫生培训和机构能力建设将以NYS-ITRP在该区域成功的能力建设历史为基础。证明能力提高的措施包括：评估教师和学生受训人员的学术进展；受训人员调查；KNMU SPH核心课程审查和发展；国内高级研究支助；以及协作赠款提案。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): SUNY Downstate Medical Center (SUNY-DMC) proposes to partner with Kazakh National Medical University (KNMU) in Almaty to build capacity in conducting implementation science research that will address gaps in HIV prevention and care in Kazakhstan (KZ). The long-term goal is to address the know-do implementation gaps in the HIV care cascade in KZ through research training linkage with KNMU. HIV in KZ continues to expand in part due to high rates of injection drug use. KZ leads Central Asia in HIV cases, yet many barriers to care persist in the treatment systems. There is a paucity of HIV research training programs in the Former Soviet Union, one of the few regions in the world with rising HIV rates. The NYS International Training and Research Program (NYS-ITRP) has a 20 year history of successfully providing advanced HIV research training in Eastern Europe and Central Asia. Proposed objectives include: 1) provide advanced degree training (MS) in epidemiology for 2 faculty from KNMU to strengthen the research and academic capacity for the country; 2) provide advanced degree training (MPH) in public health practice through a distance learning program for 5 KNMU investigators and faculty; 3) provide distance learning certificate training in implementation science to 4 KNMU investigators and faculty; 4) provide research training capacity building for the KNMU School of Public Health (SPH). Individual KNMU faculty training will be further supported by institutional KNMU SPH capacity-building in public health training and research proposals. Key elements of the research training plan include: 1) intensive mentorship during and post-training for all degree and certificate students; 2) in-country research support competitively awarded to medium to long term trainees; 3) planning and implementation of an annual in-country "Implementation Science and HIV Summer Institute"; and 4) capacity building at KNMU SPH through public health curricula revision and the creation of joint research proposals. The public health training and institutional capacity-building will buld on NYS-ITRP's history of successful capacity-building in the region. Measures to demonstrate increased capacity include: assessment of academic progress of faculty and student trainees; trainee surveys; KNMU SPH core curricula review and development; advanced in-country research support; and collaborative grant proposals.
