HIV/AIDS news, resources and funding for global health researchers
Fogarty has made significant investments in research training to combat HIV/AIDS . The AIDS International Training and Research Program ( AITRP ) was the first of its kind and has built public health capacity in 100 low- and middle-income countries. A second program, International Implementation, Clinical, Operational and Health Services Research Training Award for AIDS and Tuberculosis ( IICOHRTA-AIDS/TB ) was developed to strengthen the capacity to conduct clinical research and implementation science, including operations and health services research focused on HIV infection, TB, and HIV/TB co-infection prevention, care and treatment. The programs have been combined to form the Fogarty HIV Research Training Program .
The lack of health professionals trained to cope with AIDS remains an obstacle to in sub-Saharan Africa, where the illness is the leading cause of death. To address this, HHS partnered with the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief ( PEPFAR ) to transform medical education in sub-Saharan Africa. The Medical Education Partnership Initiative ( MEPI ), administered by Fogarty and HRSA, is designed to increase the quantity and quality of health care workers and researchers throughout the
