项目摘要

This award supports a research CAREER project that occurs at the juncture of three distinct fields: middle east studies, history of medicine, and environmental history. The locus of the study are health issues that specifically concern the liver. The project straddles historical and contemporary public health concerns through a focus on government environmental interventions initially causing the development of schistosomiasis, which leads to fibrosis of the liver, and later interventions responding to this health issue. She also plans to consider the more recent situation with regards to Hepatitis-C, and the politics of access to anti-Hep C medications. The PI plans to support three graduate students, who will be recruited to engage in history of science projects that are complementary to her own project.The research will use archival research and interviews to conduct her study. She will begin by focusing on changes in agricultural practices in the 19th century; specifically, the movement to perennial irrigation practices. This ecological transformation in turn lead to changes that affected the health of those who lived and labored in rural communities; it facilitated the spread of schistosomiasis. The PI will then transition forward to study developments that occurred during the 1950s and 1960s including global medical exchanges concerning schistosomiasis, and the implementation of public health policies to treat schistosomiasis. The third period focuses on is the late 1980s, when Hepatitis C becomes a vital public health. She brings this in to the contemporary moment, and the politics surrounding access to anti-Hep C medications.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项支持一个研究事业项目，该项目发生在三个不同领域的交界处：中东研究、医学史和环境史。这项研究的中心是专门与肝脏有关的健康问题。该项目跨越了历史和当代的公共卫生问题，侧重于最初导致血吸虫病发展的政府环境干预措施，这会导致肝脏纤维化，以及后来对这一健康问题的干预措施。她还计划考虑最近有关丙型肝炎的情况，以及获得抗丙型肝炎药物的政治问题。PI计划支持三名研究生，他们将被招募从事与她自己的项目相辅相成的科学史项目。研究将使用档案研究和访谈来进行她的研究。她将首先关注19世纪农业实践的变化，特别是转向常年灌溉实践的运动。这种生态转变反过来又导致了影响农村社区生活和劳动者健康的变化；它促进了血吸虫病的传播。然后，国际血吸虫病研究所将过渡到研究20世纪50年代和60年代发生的发展，包括关于血吸虫病的全球医学交流，以及治疗血吸虫病的公共卫生政策的实施。第三个时期集中在20世纪80年代末，丙型肝炎成为一种重要的公共卫生。她将这一点带到了当代，以及围绕获得抗丙型肝炎药物的政治。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
