AIDS International Training
and Research Program (AITRP)
Sihanouk Hospital Center of Hope in Phhom
Penh, Cambodia is the site of a Fogarty AIDS
International Training and Research Program
(AITRP) award. HIV rates have dropped
steadily in Cambodia from a high of 4
percent of the population in 1997 to .9
percent today.
Purpose
The AIDS International Training and Research Program (AITRP) began in 1988 as one of the first of a new generation of research training programs sponsored by the Fogarty International Center (FIC) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). These programs provide training for scientists from institutions in low- and middle-income countries to strengthen HIV-related research and public health capacities at their institutions.
Grants for full research training programs are awarded to U.S. institutions with strong HIV- related research training experience and with HIV-related research collaborations with institutions in low- and middle- income countries. The grantees, in partnership with their foreign collaborating institutions, identify foreign health scientists, clinicians, and allied health workers from the foreign countries to participate in their joint research training programs.

The AIDS International Training and Research Program (AITRP) began in 1988 as one of the first of a new generation of research training programs sponsored by the Fogarty International Center (FIC) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). These programs provide training for scientists from institutions in low- and middle-income countries to strengthen HIV-related research and public health capacities at their institutions.
Grants for full research training programs are awarded to U.S. institutions with strong HIV- related research training experience and with HIV-related research collaborations with institutions in low- and middle- income countries. The grantees, in partnership with their foreign collaborating institutions, identify foreign health scientists, clinicians, and allied health workers from the foreign countries to participate in their joint research training programs. Beginning in 2007, foreign institutions in low-and middle-income countries are eligible to apply for two-year planning grants. The primary goal of this program is to build multi-disciplinary biomedical, behavioral and social science research capacity for the prevention, care and treatment of HIV/AIDS and HIV-related conditions for those adults and children affected by HIV/AIDS in the collaborating country. AITRP makes provisions for training in the United States, in other countries, and in the home countries.
Trainees shall be individuals involved in or expected to be involved in HIV-related research activities in their home country. Decisions about whom to accept for training are made by the directors of the grants. All directors have developed collaborative activities with specific countries. Please contact the relevant U.S. director for country-specific information, necessary qualifications, eligibility, and application procedures.
