Neurotrauma Research Training in Latin America

描述（由申请人提供）：神经创伤研究小组（NTRG）是由来自俄勒冈州健康与科学大学（OHSU -波特兰，俄勒冈州）、华盛顿大学（西雅图，华盛顿）和罗萨里奥大学（罗萨里奥，阿根廷）的研究人员和项目合作组成的。NTRG的长期目标是通过研究、教育以及制定和传播循证指南，改善创伤性脑损伤（TBI）患者的治疗和预后。通过多种资金来源，NTRG在美国和拉丁美洲开展脑创伤研究和教育项目。通过国际创伤和损伤研究培训合作计划（ICTIRT），NTRG建议利用OHSU和华盛顿大学的研究和教育资源，培训拉丁美洲脑创伤研究人员，并在阿根廷罗萨里奥大学建立创伤研究课程。该计划将包括三个组成部分：1。长期训练。博士后候选人将在OHSU完成临床研究硕士课程（MCR），核心课程旨在培养独立的临床研究人员，选修课程侧重于创伤和损伤。2.指导研究。在参加MCR的同时，博士后候选人将参加哈博维尤医院（一级创伤中心）和华盛顿大学神经外科和康复医学系的积极神经创伤研究。3.短期课程。七个短期课程模块，旨在教育本科生和研究生，公共卫生和研究管理人员，以及专职医疗人员在创伤研究技术，将由教师从OHSU在罗萨里奥大学。成功完成所有七个模块的学生将参加指导实习体验，并获得创伤研究证书。通过这个项目，我们将培养阿根廷脑创伤研究的未来领导者。我们将在罗萨里奥大学为正在进行的创伤研究建立可持续的能力，并为整个拉丁美洲的类似项目创建一个原型。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Neurotrauma Research Group (NTRG) is a collaboration of investigators and programs from Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU - Portland, Oregon), University of Washington (Seattle, Washington), and University of Rosario (Rosario, Argentina). The long-term objective of the NTRG is to improve treatment and outcomes for people who sustain traumatic brain injury (TBI), through research, education, and the development and dissemination of evidence-based guidelines. Through multiple funding sources, the NTRG conducts brain trauma research and educational programs in the United States and Latin America. With the International Collaborative Trauma and Injury Research Training program (ICTIRT), the NTRG proposes to use the research and educational resources of OHSU and University of Washington to train Latin American investigators in brain trauma research, and to establish a curriculum of trauma research at University of Rosario in Argentina. The program will involve three components: 1. Long-term training. Post-doctoral candidates will complete the Master of Clinical Research program (MCR) at OHSU, with core curriculum designed to produce independent clinical researchers, and electives focused on trauma and injury. 2. Mentored research. Concurrent with participating in the MCR, the post-doctoral candidates will take part in active neurotrauma research at Harborview Hospital, a Level I trauma center, and in the Departments of Neurological Surgery and Rehabilitation Medicine at University of Washington. 3. Short course curriculum. Seven short course modules, designed to educate undergraduate and graduate students, public health and research administrators, and allied health professionals in the technology of trauma research, will be taught by faculty from OHSU at University of Rosario. Students who successfully complete all seven modules will participate in a mentored practicum experience and receive a Certificate in Trauma Research. Through this program we will train the future leaders in brain trauma research in Argentina. We will establish sustainable capacity for ongoing trauma research at University of Rosario, and create a prototype for similar programs throughout Latin America.
