描述(由申请人提供)： 拟议的全球健康信息学培训计划将包括在五年内开展的几项活动：1)在秘鲁为30-50名基本信息学参与者举办两期短期课程；2)在西雅图举办信息学短期技能培训，重点是基因组学和资源获取技能建设；3)通过医学院的生物医学和健康信息学项目进行博士后或理学硕士级别的信息学长期培训。除短期课程参与者外，还将培训六名学者。目前从事研究的四名学者将接受有重点的技能培养技术培训，六名学者将被招募并在华盛顿大学接受较长期(2-3年)的博士后或理学硕士培训。据设想，这一培训计划将促进大学卫生研究所继续发挥其作为领先生物医学研究机构的作用的能力发展，并在秘鲁创建一个卫生信息学研究活动之家。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed training program in Informatics for Global Health will consist of several activities carried out over a five year period 1) two short courses for 30-50 participants in basic informatics to be held in Peru 2) short term skills based training in informatics in Seattle with emphasis on genomics and resource access skills building 3) long term training in Informatics at the post doctoral or Masters of Science level through the Biomedical and Health Informatics program at the School of Medicine. Six scholars will be trained in addition to the short course participants. Four scholars now engaged in research will receive focused, skills building technical training and six scholars will be recruited and enrolled for longer term (2-3 year) post doctoral or Masters of Science training at the University of Washington. It is envisioned that this training program will foster the development of the capacity of UPCH to continue its role as a leading biomedical research institution and also to create a home to health informatics research activity in Peru.
