Research to guide practice: Enhancing human immunodeficiency virus(HIV) and the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) platforms to address non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in low-resource settings (the HIV/NCD Integration Project) aims to bring together researchers, implementers, and government representatives to articulate practical goals, approaches, and a related research agenda to incorporate prevention, care, and treatment for NCDs into HIV/AIDS platforms in sub-Saharan Africa. The HIV/NCD Integration Project focuses on people living with HIV, many of whom are being treated successfully for HIV, but who are increasingly experiencing co-morbid diseases or conditions such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, and depression. This project has produced landscape analyses, is establishing research agendas and priorities, and supports products, including modeled data, to enhance NCD services through HIV platforms.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award program provides predoctoral and postdoctoral training to meet the nation’s need for investigators in biomedical, behavioral, and clinical research. In accordance with the Public Health Service Act and annual appropriations acts, NIH annually transfers a portion of these funds to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality and Health Resources and Services Administration to foster the training of health services and primary care researchers.

RxNorm provides normalized names for clinical drugs and links its names to many of the drug vocabularies commonly used in pharmacy management and drug interaction software. By providing links between these vocabularies, RxNorm can mediate messages between systems not using the same software and vocabulary.

|
Experienced investigators come to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to learn about management of a clinical research enterprise, including topics such as planning and budget development, protocol writing and tracking, and scientific review. Sabbaticals are self-directed, meaning that the participant chooses from a list of electives and helps determine how much time to spend studying each topic. The electives are offered by leaders at the NIH and other US Department of Health and Human Services agencies with the NIH Clinical Center being the most heavily involved.
