 This work will particularly focus on Dr. Letendre's existing work in international settings. Dr. Letendre will mentor trainees using a multidisciplinary approach that includes regular direct engagement, participation in R25, T32, and K30 programs at UCSD, active participation in existing research projects, support for new research projects, and networking with other investigators. Dr. Letendre will also obtain training in mentoring and analysis of longitudinal data. In summary, this K24 award will secure protected time for Dr. Letendre to mentor trainees in neuroAIDS methods, including the responsible conduct of patient- oriented research. Dr. Letendre will coordinate his efforts with other UCSD resources, including the R25- funded "International Research Fellowship in NeuroAIDS", the T32-funded "Training in Research on Addictions in Interdisciplinary NeuroAIDS", and the CTSA-funded "Clinical and Translational Research Institute".
