为了响应全球加速实现千年发展目标 4 和 5 的努力，尤尼斯·肯尼迪·施赖弗国家儿童健康和人类发展研究所 (NICHD) 与比尔及梅琳达·盖茨基金会建立了伙伴关系，于 2000 年建立了全球妇女和儿童健康研究网络（全球网络）。建立全球网络的目标是在资源匮乏的环境中建设当地孕产妇和儿童健康研究能力。该网络的目标是针对几个高需求领域进行研究，例如预防危及生命的产科并发症、改善出生体重和婴儿生长以及改善分娩方式以降低死亡率。来自发展中国家的科学家与美国同行一起领导研究团队，通过随机临床试验和其他研究来确定和满足人口需求。全球网络项目为孕妇和新生儿开发和测试具有成本效益、可持续的干预措施，并为国家政策和循证医学实践提供指导。本文回顾了全球网络的研究成果、对政策和实践的影响，并重点介绍了自成立以来开展的能力建设工作和合作。 (C) 2015 年，爱思唯尔有限公司出版。
In response to the global effort to accelerate progress towards the Millennium Development Goals 4 and 5, a partnership was created between the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to establish the Global Network for Women's and Children's Health Research (Global Network) in 2000. The Global Network was developed with a goal of building local maternal and child health research capacity in resource-poor settings. The objective of the network was to conduct research focused on several high-need areas, such as preventing life-threatening obstetric complications, improving birth weight and infant growth, and improving childbirth practices in order to reduce mortality. Scientists from developing countries, together with peers in the USA, lead research teams that identify and address population needs through randomized clinical trials and other research studies. Global Network projects develop and test cost-effective, sustainable interventions for pregnant women and newborns and provide guidance for national policy and for the practice of evidence-based medicine. This article reviews the results of the Global Network's research, the impact on policy and practice, and highlights the capacity-building efforts and collaborations developed since its inception.
