Building a Research Analytic Initiative at NARI-India (BRAIN-I)

 自1992年以来，国家艾滋病研究所（NARI，印度浦那）领导了艾滋病毒研究科学家的培训，在全球范围内为艾滋病毒科学做出了贡献，并与政策制定者合作将研究转化为实践。它的许多创始成员受益于通过约翰霍普金斯艾滋病国际培训和研究计划进行的严格研究方法的培训，并建立了当今的研究和临床试验基础设施。随着时间的推移，首席科学家继续领导其他国家研究所，因此目前NARI的领导层压倒性地承认需要一个结构化的，可持续的，国内的计划，可以通过几代NARI科学家传承下来，并随着印度艾滋病毒流行的不断变化的需求而发展。虽然NARI专门从事临床和行为研究，但它将受益于针对临床和社会行为科学的统计应用，研究设计和分析方面的强化培训。这项提案，“建立一个研究分析倡议在NARI印度（BRAIN-I），”旨在发展1）科学的临床和行为研究（MSCBR）的NARI硕士，以维持一个新兴的独立的艾滋病毒研究人员在严格的研究方法培训池，和2）NARI学者计划（NSP）的中级和高级艾滋病毒科学家接受先进的，研究量身定制的统计应用培训和研究方法，以扩大NARI临床和社会行为研究的范围。规划过程包括1）机构需求评估，2）课程规划委员会现场会议（即NARI、国家流行病学研究所和埃默里大学合作者）审查NARI的研究重点和需求评估，为NSP和MSCBR教师确定伙伴机构导师，并将资源纳入BRAIN-I，确定受训者资格标准和招聘战略，为MSCBR教师提供结构化培训，并建立评估程序，3）通过跨学院“规划配对”开发MSCBR子课程，4）MSCBR大学认证，5）培训咨询委员会审查BRAIN-I课程和活动，随后进行修订和定稿，以及6）D43提交。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Since 1992 the National AIDS Research Institute (NARI, Pune, India) has led the training of HIV research scientists, contributed to HIV science on a global scale, and worked with policy makers to translate research into practice. Many of its founding members benefitted from training in rigorous research methodologies through the Johns Hopkins AIDS International Training and Research Program and built the present-day research and clinical trial infrastructure. With time, the lead scientists moved on to lead other national institutes, thus current NARI leadership overwhelmingly acknowledge the need for a structured, sustainable, in-country program that can be passed down through generations of NARI scientists and evolve with the changing needs of the India HIV epidemic. While NARI specializes in the conduct of clinical and behavioral studies, it would benefit from enhanced training in statistical applications, study design, and analysis tailored to clinical and socio-behavioral sciences. This proposal, "Building a Research Analytic Initiative at NARI-India (BRAIN-I)," aims to develop 1) a NARI-based Master of Science in Clinical and Behavioral Research (MSCBR) to sustain a pool of emerging independent HIV researchers trained in rigorous research methodologies, and 2) a NARI Scholars Program (NSP) for mid- and senior-level HIV scientists to receive advanced, research-tailored training in statistical applications an research methods to expand the scope of NARI clinical and socio-behavioral research. The planning process entails 1) an institutional needs assessment, 2) onsite meetings of the Curriculum Planning Committee (i.e. NARI, National Institute of Epidemiology, and Emory University collaborators) to review NARI research priorities and the needs assessment, to identify partner institute mentors for the NSP and MSCBR teachers and resources to integrate into BRAIN-I, to determine trainee eligibility criteria and recruitment strategies and structured training for MSCBR teachers, and to establish evaluation processes, 3) MSCBR sub- curricula development by cross-institute "planning pairs," 4) MSCBR university accreditation, 5) Training Advisory Committee review of BRAIN-I curriculum and activities with subsequent revision and finalization, and 6) D43 submission.
