Background and Goals
The Center for International Training and Research (CITAR)
at the University of Texas School of Public Health (UTSPH) was created to
coordinate and administer advanced training in HIV public health research for
international students. Our interest and
involvement in Vietnam
evolved from a cohort of six young health professionals who enrolled in our
doctoral programs in 2004 after receiving highly selective and prestigious
two-year scholarships towards doctoral degrees from the Vietnam Education
Foundation (VEF). The broad goals of CITAR are: To educate and train
outstanding Vietnamese, and eventually other SE Asian, health professionals for
public health research careers in HIV and HIV related issues in Vietnam; to
help CITAR fellows secure funding for HIV research projects in Vietnam; to
provide support so that CITAR graduates will be able to establish careers in
HIV research in Vietnam; to foster public health research on HIV and to build
public health research capacity in Vietnam; and to promote cooperative and
collaborative HIV research between scientists in the United States and Vietnam.
Objectives
