Research Training for Substance Use Mediated HIV Epidemic in Kazakhstan

项目摘要/摘要 纽约州立大学DownState Health的纽约国际培训和研究计划(ITRP) 科学大学(DHSU)建议在#年更新现有的艾滋病毒研究培训计划 哈萨克斯坦(KZ)与阿斯芬迪亚罗夫哈萨克斯坦国立医科大学(KNMU)合作 在阿拉木图。NYS-ITRP成功地提供先进的艾滋病毒研究已有25年的历史 在该区域开展培训，提高研究能力。而NYS-ITRP的投资 加强了KZ应对艾滋病毒疫情的能力，艾滋病毒感染病例正在上升， 物质使用(SU)治疗欠发达，新冠肺炎大流行使情况复杂化 既提供HIV治疗，又提供SU治疗。长期目标包括解决行为 以及应对KZ艾滋病毒治疗级联中的差距所需的结构性干预措施 强调苏性失调症。目标包括：1)提供为期11个月的证书课程 至6名KNMU教职员工，加强KZ的研究和学术能力；2)先进 为KNMU公共卫生学院(SPH)2名教师提供流行病学学位培训(MS)；3) 对哈萨克斯坦研究中心5名学员进行流行病学/生物统计学中期培训 皮肤病和感染性疾病(KRCDID)，国家皮肤和临床研究中心 精神卫生和其他KNMU教职员工；以及4)KNMU的研究培训能力建设 SPH.主要活动包括短期培训，包括在#年举行为期2天的年度科学会议 KNMU，专注于艾滋病毒治疗的挑战和与SU障碍的交叉，为期2天 教师发展研讨会，并扩展KNMU SPH课程，主题包括 研究设计和成瘾障碍。该计划提供短期、中期和长期 培训模式旨在为以下人员提供最大、最具成本效益的培训 并加强KNMU的研究培训。我们的努力将主要集中在 KNMU SPH的初级教员以及KRCDID和National的代表 心理健康研究和临床中心，从而拉近更深层次的合作伙伴关系 国家公共卫生服务和学术研究界之间的关系。长期的 受训者将被期望制定一项研究提案，该提案使用与以下方面有关的国内数据 HIV和/或SU。所有培训都旨在增强专注于交叉点的研究能力 消除SU障碍和艾滋病毒治疗级联，并加强KNMU作为国家 艾滋病毒相关研究培训的领导者。证明容量增加的措施包括 教职员工和学员学术进步的评估；学员调查；KNMU SPH 核心课程审查和发展；以及先进的国内研究支助。

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The NYS International Training and Research Program (ITRP) of SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University (DHSU) proposes to renew its existing HIV Research Training Program in Kazakhstan (KZ) in collaboration with Asfendiyarov Kazakh National Medical University (KNMU) in Almaty. NYS-ITRP has a 25-year history of successfully providing advanced HIV research training in the region and enhancing research capacity. While NYS-ITRP investments have strengthened the ability of KZ to respond to the HIV epidemic, cases of HIV infection are rising, substance use (SU) treatment is poorly developed, and the COVID-19 pandemic complicates the delivery of both HIV and SU treatment. Long-term goals include addressing the behavioral and structural interventions needed to respond to gaps in the HIV treatment cascade in KZ, with an emphasis on SU disorders. Objectives include providing: 1) an 11-month certificate program to 6 KNMU faculty to strengthen the research and academic capacity for KZ; 2) advanced degree training (MS) in epidemiology for 2 KNMU School of Public Health (SPH) faculty; 3) medium term training in epidemiology/biostatistics to 5 trainees from Kazakh Research Center of Dermatology and Infectious Disease (KRCDID), National Research and Clinical Center of Mental Health, and other KNMU faculty; and 4) research training capacity building for the KNMU SPH. Key activities include short term training, including an annual 2-day scientific meeting at KNMU, focusing on HIV treatment challenges and intersections with SU disorders, a 2-day faculty development workshop, and expanding KNMU SPH curricula on topics covering research design and addictive disorders. The program provides short-, medium-, and long-term training modalities designed to provide the maximum, cost-effective training coverage for individual trainees and strengthen research training at KNMU. Our efforts will focus primarily on junior faculty from the KNMU SPH as well as representatives from KRCDID, and National Research and Clinical Center of Mental Health, thus drawing together a deeper partnership between national public health service and the academic research community. Long-term trainees will be expected to develop a research proposal that uses in-country data related to HIV and/or SU. All training is designed to bolster research capacity focused on the intersection of SU disorder and the HIV treatment cascade and to enhance the role of KNMU as a national leader in HIV-related research training. Measures to demonstrate increased capacity include assessment of academic progress of faculty and student trainees; trainee surveys; KNMU SPH core curricula review and development; and advanced in-country research support.
