This three-year project expanded activities within the Yale AIDS International Training and Research Program (AITRP) to support training and research to help strengthen HIV prevention and care in India. Six Indian scientists were trained for four months at Yale University within the course of three years (2000-2003). Each scientist was trained in one of three priority research areas that have been identified by the Indian National AIDS Control Organization (NACO) and the Second World Bank HIV/AIDS Control Project: epidemiology, social/behavioral sciences and program evaluation. The researchers had an opportunity to enroll in courses at Yale University; participate in a course on HIV prevention interventions; and take part in scheduled seminars and ongoing research projects within CIRA and at Yale. Following training and upon return to India, they received an in-country research training project. The project was designed during the trainees' stay at Yale with guidance from researchers involved in their training and was in an area that is of value to NACO and the World Bank Project.
