Northwestern University AITRP

描述（由申请人提供）：西北大学提议建立西北大学福格蒂艾滋病国际培训和研究项目（NU AITRP），通过对来自尼日利亚的临床医生、科学家和相关医疗保健提供者的培训和研究，加强艾滋病和结核病的治疗。NU AITRP将建立在NU教员与伊巴丹伊巴丹大学学院医院（UCH）教员和尼日利亚乔斯乔斯大学教学医院（JUTH）教员之间的历史联系的基础上。南大艾滋病研究计划的目标是与南大和北大合作，建立和维持艾滋病研究基础设施，促进合作，提供全面的研究资源，促进培训和教育。马里巴马科大学艾滋病毒和结核病研究中心（SEREFO）在艾滋病毒和结核病研究培训方面的专业知识和基础设施将用于培训尼日利亚人，并作为扩大合作的平台。大学技术研究计划的目标是通过合作研究培训计划，继续支持富有生产力、创造性和创新性的科学家进行详细、深入和相互关联的研究。该中心的动力和基本原理是继续提供科学领导、管理机制和基础设施，以实现更高水平和质量的跨学科和机构间科学合作和转化研究，这些研究由来自广泛的临床和基础科学学科的不同、非常合格和敬业的科学家进行。这种综合方法的理由是基于这样一种假设，即艾滋病研究的进展是由跨学科和机构的基础科学家和临床研究人员共同努力，将发现转化为治疗和预防疾病的新方法而取得的。计划将包括短期计划、长期计划和发展长期研究支持和发展伙伴关系。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Northwestern University proposes to establish a Northwestern University Fogarty AIDS International Training and Research Program (NU AITRP) to strengthen HIV/AIDS and TB therapeutics through training and research for clinicians, scientists, and allied healthcare providers from Nigeria. The NU AITRP will build upon the historic linkages between the faculty at NU and the faculty at University College Hospital (UCH)AJniversity of Ibadan in Ibadan and Jos University Teaching Hospital (JUTH) in Jos, Nigeria. The goal of the NU AITRP is to create and sustain an AIDS research infrastructure in partnership with UCH and JUTH that facilitates collaboration, provides access to a full range of research resources, and promotes training and education. The expertise and infrastructure for HIV and TB research training at the Center for HIV and TB Research (SEREFO), University of Bamako, Bamako, Mali will be leveraged to train the Nigerians, and serve as a platform for expanded collaboration. The objective of the NU AITRP is to continue to support the efforts of productive, creative and innovative scientists to perform detailed, intensive and interrelated research studies through a collaborative research training program. The impetus and rationale for the center is to continue to provide scientific leadership and administrative mechanisms and infrastructure to enable a greater level and quality of interdisciplinary and inter-institutional scientific collaboration and translational research conducted by diverse, exceptionally qualified, and committed scientists spanning a broad range of clinical and basic science disciplines. The justification for this integrated approach is based on the supposition that progress in AIDS research is made by groups of basic scientists and clinician-investigators working together across disciplines and institutions to translate discovery into new approaches for the treatment and prevention of disease. The proposed NU AITRP will encompass short-term programs, long term programs and the development of long-term research support and development partnership.
