  1. Developing Biomedical Research Davey Smith, MD, MAS UCSD

  2. Hypothesis If we enhance biomedical research capacity through a UEM-UCSD partnership, then we will expand academic capability of UEM faculty

  3. Specific Aim To enhance the capacity of the UEM in pre- andpostgraduate medical education through the expansion of a bilateral partnership with the UCSD, initially focusing on communicable and neglected diseases, including HIV/AIDS, TB and malaria and related infectious diseases.

  4. Laboratory Support of Biomedical Research (aka Translational Science) • What can the MEPI team do: • Needs assessment • What is already available: UEM, MCH, INS, CDC, PEPFAR, etc. • What is needed • Complementary and Collaborative • Investigate and facilitate ways to provide needed laboratory capability. • On-site and off-site training • Project, grants, presentation review and advice

  5. Building biomedical research capacity • Establish local laboratory expertise • Partner with established research organizations in Mozambique. • Build sustainable laboratory infrastructure • Training, Training, Training • Local • UCSD partners • Quality Assurance procedures

  6. Building biomedical research capacity • Establish clinical partnerships • Partner with established clinicians and UEM faculty in Mozambique. • Support clinicians who wish to perform biomedical research • Develop two-way partnerships • UEM UCSD • Training, Training, Training

  7. Projects • Based on: • Local needs • Eg. HIV, malaria, TB, Kaposi, liver disease, etc. • Local investigator interests • Partnership capability • MEPI Assistance • Provide critical review and plans to enhance study design. • Assist the development of partnerships • Assist in human subjects review.

  8. Training • See Dr. Benson and Dr. Carrilho lecture tomorrow. • Main Point: Develop sustainable capacity within local laboratories. • “Train the trainer” • Tele-education • Training is an iterative process

  9. Funding • The purpose of the MEPI is not to fund individual research projects. • As discussed, we think that research is important so: • Develop UEM-UCSD partnerships • Generate project ideas and preliminary data • Eg. CFAR Developmental and International grants • Apply for larger governmental and foundation grants

  10. Expert Review(aka informal training) • MEPI will provide experienced investigators to assist investigators with: • Study Design: Clinical and Laboratory • Grant applications • Publications and presentations
