Project Description

The “Child Mental Health in HIV-impacted Low-resource settings in Developing countries: Global Research Fellowship” (CHILD-GRF) training program will support the development of a cadre of 18 well- trained, culturally-embedded in-country scientists from Uganda to conduct child and adolescent mental health (CAMH) research in the context of HIV/AIDS using rigorous and culturally-congruent research methods.

This will ultimately provide a robust platform for the development and implementation of culturally-congruent evidence-based HIV prevention and CAMH interventions for youth and families living in communities heavily impacted by HIV/AIDS. By producing a sustainable network of individuals in key research institutions who are well trained in various aspects of CAMH, HIV/AIDS research, and dissemination & implementation research, this training program, in partnership with Makerere University in Uganda, will contribute to improving CAMH and HIV prevention efforts, both of which have implications for public health.
