1/2 Bangladesh Center for Global Environmental and Occupational Health -Bangladesh

 描述(由申请人提供)：自1999年以来，来自芝加哥大学以及美国和孟加拉国的合作机构的研究人员，包括ICDDR、B-Center for Health and Popular和BSM医科大学，一直在该国进行多学科合作的环境和职业健康研究。利用通过我们的试点地球健康规划赠款所取得的进展以及我们丰富的国内经验，我们现在已经做好了准备，以回应目前关于下一阶段地球健康研究和培训计划的RFA(TW-14-001/2)。作为我们孟加拉国合作伙伴牵头的U01研究申请的伙伴，拟议的U2R培训赠款将由芝加哥大学(联系牵头机构)、BSM医科大学、ICDDR、B以及选定的美国和当地合作伙伴学术机构联合领导，以增强与该申请相关的补充培训专业知识。U2R培训计划旨在每年培训为期一年的博士后和为期3个月的博士后培训，通过实质性和方法论主题的有针对性的课程工作以及深入的动手实验室/研究轮换，向他们展示参与环境健康研究的现代实验室、分析和临床(为有临床背景的学员)基础知识。除了美国的专业培训课程外，每年还将提供短期的国内迷你课程(2周)和研讨会(1-2天)，内容包括环境健康研究的各个组成部分，包括研究设计和采样、暴露评估方法、结果评估和数据分析，以评估空气污染、气候变化和服装健康工作对健康的影响。所有受训人员将从孟加拉国精心挑选。美国培训的长期博士后和中期博士后将主要从伙伴机构挑选，国内短期课程/讲习班的短期实习生将向所有对环境和职业健康研究感兴趣和承诺的孟加拉国人开放。将建立一个严格的评价(过程和结果)制度，以便利行政监督委员会监测和确保方案的成功。除了在研究型培训活动方面拥有专业知识的一大批教师导师外，来自孟加拉国的政府、私营部门、社区和国际机构的代表还将参与培训计划，以最大限度地发挥培训计划对孟加拉国及其他地区与环境和职业健康议程相关的更广泛政策和福利的影响。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Since 1999, researchers from The University of Chicago and partner institutions in US and Bangladesh including ICDDR, B - Center for Health and Population and BSM Medical University, have been conducting multidisciplinary collaborative environmental and occupational health research in the country. Capitalizing on the progress made through our pilot GEOHealth planning grant as well as our extensive in-country experience, we are now well-poised to respond to the current RFAs (TW-14-001/2) on the next phase GEOHealth research and training program. As a companion to the U01 research application led by our Bangladesh partners, the proposed U2R training grant will be jointly led by University of Chicago (the contact lead institution), BSM Medical University, ICDDR, B as well as selected US and local partner academic institutions to augment complementary training expertise relevant to this application. The U2R training program aims to train year-long post-doctoral and 3-month long pre-doctoral trainees every year through a combination of targeted course works on substantive and methodological topics as well as in-depth hands-on laboratory/research rotations exposing them on modern laboratory, analytic and clinical (for trainees with clinical background) underpinnings involved in environmental health research. In addition to this US-based specialized training curriculum, structured shorter-term in-country mini-courses (2 weeks) and workshops (1-2 days) will be offered every year on various components of environmental health research including study design and sampling, exposure assessment methods, outcome assessment and data analysis for evaluating health effects of air pollution, climate change and garment health work. All trainees will be carefully chosen from Bangladesh. Long-term post-docs and inter-mediate-term pre-docs for US-based training will be mainly selected from partner institutions and the short-term trainees for in-country short-course/workshops will be open to all Bangladeshis with interests and commitment in environmental and occupational health research. A rigorous evaluation (both process and outcome) system will be in place for facilitating the Administrative Oversight Committee to monitor and ensure program success. In addition to a large team of faculty mentors with expertise on research- focused training activities representatives from the Government, private sector, community and international agencies in Bangladesh will be involved to maximize the impact of the training program on broader policy and welfare related to environmental and occupational health agenda for Bangladesh and beyond.
