Principles of STD/HIV Research Course

摘要 一年一度的性病和艾滋病毒研究原理课程于1993年首次举办，旨在提供 概述在性传播疾病/艾滋病毒领域从事研究工作所需的技能。从那时起，大约2025年 学员参加了该课程，其中包括许多妇女和种族/少数民族学生。越来越多的人 跨学科的方法已经成为设计研究和获得性病/艾滋病毒资金的关键 研究。熟悉自己学科之外的研究视角为年轻人提供了 调查人员具有持续跨学科学习和协作的工具，并保持广泛的 调查可能性的范围。本课程为最先进的入门课程提供了一个独特的机会 行为、临床、流行病学、统计学、实施和基础科学研究方面的培训 提供对这些广泛学科共有的语言和技能的实用概述。课程 持续时间限制为两周，以鼓励正在建立积极研究职业生涯的个人和 允许居住在当地以外的人参加。此外，该课程的在线版本还包括 开发的目的是将我们的触角伸向国际异步组学习站点。课程目标 是：1)向年轻研究人员介绍关键研究领域和新出现的问题 性传播疾病/艾滋病毒；2)使调查人员熟悉科学和 符合伦理道德的研究，包括研究设计、实验方法、数据工具的开发 收集、人类受试者考虑和数据分析；3)向学员传授不同 参与性病/艾滋病毒研究的学科，以促进研究合作；以及4)讨论战略 成功地找到了导师，竞争研究资金，发表了自己的作品。这门课 包括六个方面：1)性病/艾滋病毒跨学科研究要点；2)临床和流行病学方面 关于感染；3)特定感染的发病机制；4)行为研究方法和特殊情况下的研究 人口；5)实施科学和卫生经济学；6)成功和道德战略 研究。课程过程在参与者网站上发布，访问权限仅限于 注册学生。课程网站包含学习目标、演讲者幻灯片、 讲座和重要参考文献。

ABSTRACT The Annual Course on Principles of STD and HIV Research was first held in 1993 to provide an intensive overview of skills needed to pursue a research career in the field of STD/HIV. Since then, approximately 2025 trainees have attended the course, including many women and racial/ethnic minority students. Increasingly, an interdisciplinary approach has become essential in designing studies and in obtaining funding for STD/HIV research. Establishing familiarity with research perspectives outside one's own discipline provides young investigators with tools for continued interdisciplinary learning and collaboration, and for maintaining a broad scope of investigative possibilities. This course offers a unique opportunity for state-of-the-art introductory training in behavioral, clinical, epidemiologic, statistical, implementation, and basic science research by providing a practically oriented overview of language and skills common to these broad disciplines. Course duration is limited to two weeks to encourage individuals who are establishing active research careers and allow those who reside outside of the local area to attend. In addition, an on-line version of the course has been developed to expand our reach to international sites for asynchronous group learning. Course objectives are to: 1) Introduce young investigators to critical research areas and emerging questions in the field of STD/HIV; 2) Familiarize investigators with research techniques and tools needed to conduct scientifically and ethically sound studies, including study design, experimental approach, development of instruments for data collection, human subjects considerations, and data analysis; 3) Teach trainees the fundamentals of different disciplines involved in STD/HIV research in order to foster research collaborations; and 4) Discuss strategies for successfully finding a mentor, competing for research funds and publishing one's work. The course integrates six tracks: 1) Essentials of STD/HIV interdisciplinary research; 2) Clinical and epidemiologic aspects of infections; 3) Pathogenesis of specific infections; 4) Behavioral research methods and research in special populations; 5) Implementation Science and health economics; and 6) Strategies for successful and ethical research. The course proceedings are disseminated on a participant website with access restricted to registered students. The course website contains learning objectives, speakers' slides, audio recordings of lectures, and key references.
