Child/Adolescent/Young Adult HIV Research Training

摘要 未来十年需要训练有素的研究人员来应对艾滋病毒/艾滋病的挑战，特别是 在儿童、青少年和年轻人中。预防艾滋病毒需要有效的计划， 以及对那些感染艾滋病毒的人进行干预。这项研究培训计划将为博士和医学博士做准备。 研究员开展独立研究。布拉德利/孩之宝儿童研究中心的教职员工 在艾滋病毒预防、其他危险行为、规范发展、精神病理学和 身体多病的年轻人的心理。布朗大学的其他教员(通过艾滋病研究中心) 在艾滋病毒感染青年和成年人的医疗保健、艾滋病毒检测、作为预防的治疗、预防、预防和预防方面的专门知识 暴露预防、性传播感染、药物滥用和国际健康。强者 NIH资助研究的教职员工记录确保学员接触到蓬勃发展的计划领域 研究。学员从积累的和多样化的专业知识中受益，每个人都有两名导师的机会 有着不同的侧重点。导师关注儿童/青少年的行为健康，无论是发展中的还是心理上的 健康问题或2)艾滋病毒研究的医学方面。培训涉及跨学科和翻译 使受训人员做好综合医学、精神病学和发展问题的准备的要素 为生物行为艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究提供信息。 该项目每年共招收6名博士后实习生和1名暑期实习生。两三个新的 心理学实习生每年报名参加为期两年的奖学金(第三年可选)和一项新的奖学金 医学博士将每隔一年参加一次培训。符合每个实习生的个人需求，毕业的 设计了循序渐进的独立研究方案。正式的培训课程有明确的目标 学习目标旨在培养下一代艾滋病毒研究所需的技能。学习的核心领域 包括行为模式及其变化、行为和情绪过程评估、 艾滋病毒的共病，以及艾滋病毒的生物学、预防和治疗。课程需求可以是 对专门针对艾滋病毒的研讨会、一般研究设计研讨会以及除正式课程外的教程感到满意 布朗大学或附近大学的课程。

ABSTRACT Well-trained researchers are needed in the next decade to address the challenge of HIV/AIDS especially among children, adolescents, and young adults. Effective programs are needed for both the prevention of HIV, as well as intervention for those infected by HIV. This research training program will prepare Ph.D. and M.D. fellows to carry out independent research. The Bradley/Hasbro Children's Research Center has faculty with expertise in HIV prevention, other risk behaviors, normative development, psychopathology, and the psychology of physically ill youth. Additional faculty at Brown (through the Center for AIDS Research) have expertise in the medical care of HIV infected youth and adults, HIV testing, Treatment as Prevention, Pre- Exposure Prophylaxis, sexually transmitted infections, substance abuse, and international health. The strong faculty record of NIH funded research ensures that trainees are exposed to thriving areas of programmatic research. Trainees benefit from the accumulated and diverse expertise by the opportunity of two mentors, each with a different focus. Mentors focus on either 1) child/adolescent behavioral health, developmental or mental health issues or 2) medical aspects of HIV research. Training involves interdisciplinary and translational elements to prepare trainees for the integration of the medical, psychiatric, and developmental issues and as it informs Biobehavioral HIV/AIDS Research. The program will have a total of six postdoctoral trainees and one summer trainee each year. Two or three new psychology trainees are enrolled every year for a two-year fellowship (with an optional third year) and one new M.D. will be enrolled in alternate training years. Consistent with each trainee's individual needs, a graduated program for progressive independent research is designed. A formal training curriculum targets specific learning objectives aimed at skills needed for the next generation of HIV research. Core areas of learning include models of behavior and its change, assessment of behavior and emotional processes, influence of comorbidities on HIV, and the biology of HIV, its prevention and its treatment. Curriculum needs can be satisfied by HIV-specific seminars, general research design seminars, and by tutorials in addition to formal courses at Brown or nearby universities.
