Project Summary/Abstract The Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study estimated that over 42 million people died globally from non- communicable diseases (NCDs) in 2019 and they are also of one the leading causes of disability. Africa has one of the highest burdens of NCDs and related disabilities and Zambia has one of the highest NCD burdens where it contributes to one in five premature deaths and up to 32% of all deaths annually. We propose a training program to develop Zambia’s capacity to recognize, measure, and to respond to the chronic health and economic consequences of major risk factors for NCDs. This program will be based on close collaboration between two institutions – the George Washington University Milken Institute School of Public Health (GWSPH), USA and University of Zambia School of Public Health (UNZA-SPH), Zambia to respond to two critical gaps – lack of trained human resources and lack of data. The overall goal of the United States-Zambia Addressing Risk Factors for Non-Communicable Diseases in Zambia (US-Zambia Risk-NCD) program is to strengthen research capacity on the long-term health and economic consequences of major risk factors for NCDs across the lifespan in Zambia through an innovative model of sustainable capacity development. Our model will use US expertise to strengthen a Zambian institution, promote a sustainable research enterprise focused on major risk factors for NCDs and enable dissemination of research to influence policy in Zambia through the following specific aims. Specific Aim 1: To develop a core group of researchers focused on major risk factors for NCDs at UNZA. We will offer (1) a long-term training program for trainees from UNZA within the Master of Public Health (MPH) and Master of Medicine (MMed) degrees at UNZA; (2) short-term training workshops at UNZA- SPH including both basic and advanced components each year; and (3) online courses and webinars from GWSPH on key priority topics in measuring the long-term health and economic consequences of risk factors on NCDs. Specific Aim 2: To promote research around key national priorities for NCDs and risk factors in Zambia. We will work with trainees to conduct research around three domains: (1) development and use of national databases relevant to the use, consumption and impact of major NCD risk factors; (2) evaluation of gender impact on NCDs in Zambia to understand how risk factors for NCDs differ between and among different genders; and (3) advance implementation research to support identification of locally relevant, effective policies and interventions for NCDs and their risk factors. Specific Aim 3: To develop NCD risk factor “Research to Policy (RTP Forum” in Zambia. We will co-host an RTP Symposium in collaboration with the Zambian Ministry of Health for an annual research-to-policy dialogue on risk factors and NCDs. Specific Aim 4: To create a formal research unit on NCDs and risk factors in Zambia. We will work on complementing individual training by working with UNZA to establish a dedicated research unit that provides a home for faculty across UNZA and enhances sustainability of our efforts.

项目摘要/摘要 全球疾病负担（GBD）的研究估计，全球超过4200万人死于非 - 2019年的传染病（NCD）也是残疾的主要原因之一。非洲有一个 NCD和相关残疾的最高负担和赞比亚是最高的NCD Burnens之一 它导致五分之一的过早死亡，每年多达32％的死亡。我们建议培训 计划发展赞比亚的能力，以识别，衡量和应对慢性健康和经济 NCD的主要危险因素的后果。该程序将基于两个之间的密切合作 机构 - 乔治华盛顿大学米尔肯学院公共卫生学院（GWSPH），美国和 赞比亚大学公共卫生学院（UNZA-SPH），赞比亚以应对两个关键差距 - 缺乏 培训的人力资源和缺乏数据。美国 - 桑比亚的总体目标解决风险 赞比亚（US-ZAMBIA RISK-NCD）计划的非传染性疾病的因素是加强 NCD的主要危险因素的长期健康和经济后果的研究能力 赞比亚的寿命通过可持续能力发展的创新模型。我们的模型将使用我们 加强赞比亚机构的专业知识，促进专注于主要风险的可持续研究企业 NCD的因素和能够通过以下方式传播研究以影响赞比亚的政策 具体目标。特定目的1：开发一个核心研究人员，重点是主要风险因素 NCD在UNZA。我们将提供（1）公众硕士内UNZA培训的长期培训计划 UNZA的健康（MPH）和医学硕士学位（MMED）学位； （2）UNZA-的短期培训研讨会 SPH每年都包括基本组件和高级组件； （3）在线课程和网络研讨会 GWSPH介绍了衡量风险因素的长期健康和经济后果的关键优先事项 NCD。具体目标2：促进围绕NCD的主要国家优先事项的研究和风险因素 赞比亚。我们将与受训者合作，围绕三个领域进行研究：（1）开发和使用 国家数据库与主要NCD风险因素的使用，消费和影响有关； （2）评估 性别对赞比亚NCD的影响，以了解NCD的风险因素之间以及不同之间的差异 性别； （3）提前实施研究以支持识别本地相关，有效政策 NCD及其风险因素的干预措施。特定目的3：开发NCD风险因素“研究 在赞比亚举行的政策（RTP论坛”。我们将与赞比亚部合作主持RTP研讨会 关于风险因素和NCD的年度研究对话的健康对话。特定目标4：创建一个 赞比亚NCD和危险因素的正式研究部门。我们将努力完成个人培训 通过与UNZA合作建立一个专门的研究部门，为UNZA和 增强我们努力的可持续性。
