For 25 years, the UCLA/Fogarty AIDS International Training and Research Program has provided education and training leading to a master?s or doctoral degree for health professionals from developing nations, and informal education for many others.
These five-year awards will help fund programs in some of the countries hardest hit by the HIV epidemic in Southeast Asia. UCLA researchers are assisting the Thai Ministry of Public Health by training public health professionals to conduct relevant HIV/AIDS research and to develop intervention strategies for controlling HIV throughout the country. In Myanmar, they are working with the Myanmar University of Public Health to break through more than 50 years of social and cultural isolation to train health students and workers to implement modern HIV control programs. And in Cambodia, the Fielding School is working with the Cambodian University of Health Sciences to train the next generation of scientists and statisticians to analyze and interpret critical AIDS/HIV health trends and epidemiologic shifts.
