Postdoctoral Training in Global AIDS Prevention Research

摘要 这是加州大学洛杉矶分校培训计划的竞争延续，旨在为医生和社会/行为 专注于综合生物医学-行为的学术研究职业的科学家（即，生物行为） 在不同的全球环境中采取预防艾滋病毒/艾滋病的方法。尽管在预防艾滋病毒/艾滋病方面取得了显著进展， 在艾滋病毒新感染和艾滋病毒疾病治疗方面，仍然存在重大挑战，突出表明需要 整合行为科学和生物医学方法。我们非常成功的训练的更新 该计划将有助于确保新一代的科学领导者准备好带领我们进入下一个 艾滋病毒研究的时代，特别是通过提供培训，以整合行为和生物医学方法， 在全球范围内预防艾滋病。为了反映我们的生物行为方法，每年都会有一名新学员 专攻成人或儿科传染病的医生（即，一个ID研究员），一个是社会/行为研究员 拥有相关领域（如公共卫生、社会学或公共政策）博士学位的科学家。我们将 确保所有学员接受严格的社会行为科学培训，并使用生物标志物和进行 研究与临床背景和相关性。所有学员将获得培训和支持， 在艾滋病毒/艾滋病预防研究中担任独立调查员。一个成功的培训毕业生 计划将有：获得硕士学位的选择;完成至少一个主要的艾滋病毒预防 研究项目;参与了其他几个研究项目;在至少一个主要的科学 会议;作为第一作者在领先的科学期刊上发表;并获得NIH或其他机构的资助 第一个学院。这些计划的目标是通过各种研讨会，辅导， 二次数据分析，以及我们进行的原始数据收集的设计和实施， 合作现场。我们计划的一个新的重点将是多学科培训活动的整合， 所有的医学博士和博士学员，以促进生物行为的方法来解决的主要问题，排除 制止艾滋病毒/艾滋病的流行。我们的计划是专门为年轻科学家准备的未来， 艾滋病毒/艾滋病的资金环境，这将需要在生物行为方法的能力，我们将模型 这种在我们的共同领导和我们的研究环境中的整合，强调团队科学作为一个基石 为了成功

ABSTRACT This is a competing continuation of the UCLA training program to prepare physician and social/behavioral scientists for academic research careers focused on integrated biomedical-behavioral (i.e., biobehavioral) approaches to HIV/AIDS prevention in diverse global settings. Despite remarkable advances in prevention of new HIV infections and treatment of HIV disease, significant challenges remain that highlight the need for integrating behavioral science and biomedical approaches. The renewal of our highly successful training program will help ensure that a new generation of scientific leaders is prepared to take us forward into the next era of HIV research, specifically by providing training to integrate behavioral and biomedical approaches to preventing HIV/AIDS globally. To reflect our biobehavioral approach, each year one new trainee will be a physician specializing in adult or pediatric infectious diseases (i.e., an ID fellow), and one a social/behavioral scientist with a doctoral degree from a relevant field such as public health, sociology, or public policy. We will ensure all trainees receive rigorous social-behavioral science training and in use of biomarkers and conducting research with clinical context and relevance. All trainees will be provided training and support to launch their careers as independent investigators in HIV/AIDS prevention research. A successful graduate of the training program will have: The option of securing a master’s degree; Completed at least one major HIV prevention research project; Participated in several other research projects; Presented in at least one major scientific conference; Published as a first author in leading scientific journals; and Secured funding from the NIH or other agencies to take into a first faculty. These program goals are achieved through a variety of seminars, mentoring, secondary data analyses, and the design and implementation of original data collection conducted in our collaborating field sites. A new focus of our program will be integration of multidisciplinary training activities for all of the MD and PhD trainees to foster biobehavioral approaches for solving the major problems that preclude halting the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Our program is especially designed to prepare young scientists for the future of the HIV/AIDS funding environment that will require competency in biobehavioral approaches and we will model this integration in our co-leadership and our research settings that emphasize Team Science as a building block for success.
