RESEARCH GRANT SUPPORT Currently active (August 2012):
This “MP-3” project proposes a series of feasibility and preparatory studies to implement “test-link-care” work for expanded antiretroviral therapy among Chinese MSM in four cities in China.
This grant is to increase manpower for HIV/TB care, treatment, and prevention work in Zambia
This partnership of Family Health International, Vanderbilt University, Johns Hopkins University, and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center seeks to coordinate HIV prevention clinical trials focused on four areas to reduce HIV transmission: antiretroviral therapy, STD control, substance abuse therapy, and behavioral change. While at Vanderbilt, Dr. Vermund served as PI of this grant made to FHI from 2006-2112.
The Vanderbilt-CIDRZ-AITRP training partnership with international collaborators from 5 countries (Zambia, China, India, Pakistan, Mozambique) is designed to train foreign scientists and key research support staff to conduct independent research and training in their home countries, as well as perform at an internationally credible level in collaborations with both local and foreign scientists.
This service program provides HIV care, treatment, prevention, surveillance, infrastructure, and training for the Zambézia Province in Mozambique, to help rebuild their primary health care infrastructure and develop HIV/AIDS care, treatment, and prevention. We provide these services in 12 of 16 Zambézia’s districts, including all its most rural areas (population catchment area of >3 million).
The goal of the program is to help train and inspire both US and foreign graduate students in research techniques and topic areas applicable to resource-limited and/or tropical countries.
This service program provides HIV care, treatment, prevention, surveillance, infrastructure, and training for the two major and three satellite institutions in Oyo and Kwara States in Nigeria to help build their primary health care infrastructure and develop HIV/AIDS care and support, HIV treatment, TB treatment, PMTCT, prevention, and HCT in general medical and TB environments.
This one year planning grant is to support clinical trial feasibility and design work for the use of antiretroviral therapy expansion to reduce transmission of HIV among men who have sex with men in Beijing, China. No research work is permitted on this planning grant which is only to design forms, obtain IRB permission, etc. If funded, other effort will be reduced.
The purpose of this CDC supported supplement is to build institutional and individual research capacity and sustainability in HIV-related biomedical and behavioral research in Zambia. The activities supported by this supplement aim to develop and train Zambian clinical investigators to be leaders in independent research. We have developmental south-south training activity on behalf of Nigeria, as well.
The Vanderbilt-Emory-Cornell-Duke Consortium (VECDor) will nurture a new generation of global health researchers through a collaborative training program with overseas research institutions from low and middle-income countries with which our universities have worked for decades. Global health themes are inherently important for developing countries, but are also critical for Americans living in a globalized economy, as our citizens increasingly work and relate to countries with health challenges that may mimic or be quite divergent from challenges at home. Discoveries from research overseas can help at-risk and underserved persons in developing countries, and will expand our ability to address global health risks to Americans, helping protect and treat travelers, military personnel, and expatriates who are exposed or infected overseas.
The Vanderbilt-Meharry CFAR is based on existing strong interactions between Vanderbilt University Medical Center and Meharry Medical College, both located in Nashville, Tennessee to develop improved infrastructure support, and to enhance the multidisciplinary, collaborative environment, for AIDS research. Dr. Vermund’s effort through the Administrative Core supports his direction of the International Scientific Program.
This initiative establishes an International Epidemiologic Databases to Evaluate AIDS (IEDEA) consortium in Latin America/Caribbean, with Vanderbilt coordination at 7 centers (Haiti, Honduras, Mexico, Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Peru), to compile data and address research questions in HIV/AIDS that are not possible to answer with currently existing individual cohorts. Dr. Vermund serves as an Epidemiologist for the network.
This project studies new ways of analyzing data when measurements are categories that can be ordered (e.g., stage of disease: asymptomatic, mild, moderate, severe). The new methods are put into computer software and applied to studies of 1) the effect of douching on sexually transmitted infections among adolescent females, and 2) which patients may be able to better respond to specific HIV-treatments based on genetic patterns. Dr. Shepherd’s grant to develop novel methods for analysis of ordinal data will use data from two of Dr. Vermund’s studies, the Reaching for Excellence in Adolescent Care and Health (REACH) study of HIV and adolescence, and the PEPFAR HIV cohort of 40,000 persons in rural Mozambique. Dr. Vermund serves as co-investigator for epidemiological assistance in management and interpretation of the clinical and research data from the two cohorts.
