The Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia (UPCH) in partnership with University of Washington is a research training program at UPCH to increase the cadre of Peruvian and other Latin American scientists active in clinical, operational, and health services research in HIV/AIDS and TB and to catalyze and guide the application of research expertise in Latin America for scale-up, cost-effective delivery, and continuous improvement of treatment, care, and prevention services for HIV/AIDS and TB. The program will implement an innovative, locally-directed educational curriculum at UPCH of a Graduate Certificate Program in HIV/AIDS and TB at UPCH, focused on clinical, operational, and health services research and related prevention research; provide training, mentoring and small grants for Graduate Certificate Program trainees to perform clinical, operational, and health services research and related prevention research for treatment, care and prevention of HIV/AIDS and TB; and provide long term research and training experience and career mentoring for current or potential UPCH faculty members. Other partners include University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB); and the Peruvian research NGO IMPACTA. |

South Africa is one of the five countries worldwide that rank in the top ten of highest TB burden, highest TB/HIV burden and highest HIV burden. Wits Health Consortium of the University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa, in partnership with the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, will design a research training program to address the lack of experienced investigators in clinical, operational and health services research, identified as one of the main reasons behind the failure of South Africa to meet its tuberculosis control targets. The program will include short term courses in HIV, TB, research methods and research ethics in South Africa, and will identify talented South Africans for intermediate and long term training in South Africa and the U.S. These trainees will be mentored throughout their training and provide support for preliminary research after completion of training to help them establish independent careers in South Africa. Other partners include University of Cape Town, Stellenbosch University and Johns Hopkins University. |
