背景美国国立卫生研究院的Fogarty国际中心(FIC)包括环境与职业健康国际培训和研究(ITREOH)计划。“环境毒理学和公共卫生国际培训计划”中心成立于2002年，总部设在加州大学戴维斯分校，是ITREOH中心小组的一部分。它的主要工作集中在乌拉圭蒙得维的亚和阿根廷萨尔塔的公立大学。结果2005年在萨尔塔工程学院开始了培训和研究工作。一台捐赠的二手实时PCR机是起点，最初的FIC支持有助于面对其他问题，包括物理空间、研究项目和赠款、受训人员、培训、网络以及分心/机会，以便利用现代方法发展环境工程方面的地方能力。经过6年的成功工作，萨尔塔中心已成为该领域的参考咨询中心，并仍在不断发展和巩固。阿根廷使用的模式可以很容易地适用于阿根廷和其他发展中国家的其他领域或类型的项目。上午好。J.Ind.地中海医院。2013年，56：11-19。©2012 Wiley期刊，Inc.
BackgroundThe Fogarty International Center (FIC) of the United States National Institutes of Health includes the International Training and Research in Environmental and Occupational Health (ITREOH) Program. The “International Training Program in Environmental Toxicology and Public Health” Center, funded in 2002 is based at the University of California, Davis, and is part of the ITREOH group of Centers. It has major efforts focused at the public universities in Montevideo, Uruguay, and Salta, Argentina.ResultsTraining and research efforts in Salta begun in 2005 in the College of Engineering. A donated used real‐time PCR machine was the starting point and the initial FIC support was instrumental to face other problems including physical space, research projects and grants, trainees, training, networking, and distractions/opportunities in order to develop local capacities in Environmental Engineering using modern methodology. After 6 years of successful work, the Salta center has become a reference Center in the field, and is still growing and consolidating.ConclusionsThis program has had a significant impact locally and regionally. The model used in Argentina could be easily adapted to other fields or types of projects in Argentina and in other developing countries. Am. J. Ind. Med. 56:11–19, 2013. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
