As a response to the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) epidemic and part of Canadian Institutes for Health Research's mandate to support international health research capacity building, the Canadian Institutes for Health Research Canadian HIV Trial Network (CTN) developed an international postdoctoral fellowship award under the CTN's Postdoctoral Fellowship Awards Program to support and train young HIV researchers in resource-limited settings. Since 2010, the fellowship has been awarded to eight fellows in Cameroon, China, Lesotho, South Africa, Uganda and Zambia. These fellows have conducted research on a wide variety of topics and have built a strong network of collaboration and scientific productivity, with 40 peer-reviewed publications produced by six fellows during their fellowships. They delivered two workshops at international conferences and have continued to secure funding for their research, using the fellowship as a stepping stone. The CTN has been successful in building local HIV research capacity and forming a strong network of like-minded junior low- and middle-income country researchers with high levels of research productivity. They have developed into mentors, supervisors and faculty members, who, in turn, build local capacity. The sustainability of this international fellowship award relies on the recognition of its strengths and the involvement of other stakeholders for additional resources.
作为对人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）疫情的回应，以及加拿大卫生研究院支持国际卫生研究能力建设任务的一部分，加拿大卫生研究院加拿大HIV试验网络（CTN）在CTN博士后奖学金计划下设立了一项国际博士后奖学金，以支持和培训资源有限环境中的年轻HIV研究人员。自2010年以来，该奖学金已授予喀麦隆、中国、莱索托、南非、乌干达和赞比亚的8名研究员。这些研究员开展了广泛主题的研究，并建立了强大的合作网络和科研成果产出，6名研究员在其奖学金期间发表了40篇经同行评审的论文。他们在国际会议上举办了两次研讨会，并继续为其研究获得资金，将该奖学金作为一个跳板。CTN成功地建立了当地的HIV研究能力，并形成了一个由志同道合的低收入和中等收入国家初级研究人员组成的强大网络，这些研究人员具有很高的研究生产力。他们已成长为导师、监督员和教员，反过来又建设了当地能力。这一国际奖学金的可持续性依赖于对其优势的认可以及其他利益相关者为获取更多资源的参与。
